Google misguiding webmasters by showing false reports.

    I have changed my major keywords based on Google keyword tools traffic reports for different keywords . It seems Google never update the status of this report and Google misdirecting webmasters by showing false information. Please don't follow this result any more.

    https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

    Will google remove this page or show when this page was last updated ?

    I think the information are not exactly true but they are trusted. There are not any other free source for finding keywords and the number of monthly search. So its the best one you can use now. But as you said some information it gives to users, is not exactly true.

    Google can and do spread disinformation in order to help prevent people 'reverse engineering' what they do. Their public announcements must ALWAYS be taken with a pinch of salt, and you can see how jealously they guard their position if you, for example, search for your backlinks in Google as opposed to any other engine.

    I think that most people already know that the keywords tool information is not very accurate.

    I agree - the results the keyword tool give are very poor - one of my sites is ranked no.1 for a keyword that supposedly gets 5k exact searches a month. I only actually get 1-200 hits for this word though!

    Please be aware that keyword tool is based on data from Google itself and they do provide you for "FREE". It may have a "bit delayed" in update but still a trustful source compared to other keyword tools such as Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery and so on. Another point I would like to mention is, the number is an "estimated" and help "illustrate purpose" only.

    Clear The house and let me know one thing if you get the exact click rate for fun and movies and other hand you got finance or simply say you got low and high level income site which will you choice and you ll definately target on that keyword i think that tool in starting was some how exact but not today its not 1.3 $ to $4 could be very hard expected from adsense by only click yes. one more thing no one will pay you that much high or you ll get the exact traffic as above mentioned bcoz it will just make things more worst then its present by true data reports.

    True. You can't expect much from a Free tool right? It is not accurate as you might want it to be but Google tries to bring you at least closest to what you need from using a simple, free tool.
