Hello, I had a problem yesterday that has continued through today with keywords. When searching for a long tail competition I get strange results. Yesterday I search once for a keyword. Results were 1880 exact matches. I went to lunch and came back. I have no idea why I did this but the keyword was still in my search so I searched again. Same keyword nothing changed but time. This time I get 34,265 exact matches. Wait another hour or so and get 15,680. I do this over and over again on several different machines like I have never done before. I get the first page count of 1880 about every three hours. So now tell me the trick. How long and how many time have I searched and seen counts of 2 million and chose not to use the keyword the count is 500 of something stupid like that and I lost out. I expect some change but not thousands or millions in page count differences in the same day. Has anyone ever seen this before?
I look for volume... then I go to Google and type in the phrase. Who is in the top 5 listings. If there is volume and you can outrank the top 5 then that is all that matters.
