Are there any tools out there that let you see how many searches there were for a keyword in a particular month? I know Adwords has that one tool, but it only shows search volume on a graph and not as a number, which is what I'm looking for. I know Adcenter has something like this that shows the amount of searches from Live.com....but Lives numbers are probably a lot different than Googles.
Try http://inventory.overture.com to get a generally idea. This isn't data from Google (I think it is from Yahoo), but it will give you another reference for comparison.
Is there any other tool than the above link? I usually have problems when using inventory.overture.com.
I wish Google Trends would show numbers. It'd be so dope if they did it like their Google stock price graph.
I read you have problem with overture keyword tool. If you do, I suggest you refresh the page. It does happen sometimes.
Shawn's keyword tool uses Overture data, I believe (plus wordtracker) but seems to be much faster than overture... once you navigate through the initial CAPTCHA. http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/suggestion/
