Digitalpoint resutls vs. Overture

    Can someone enlighten me on why these terms vary so much. I type in a term "swimming pool" and get back two different results for Overture. One from digital point and another from Overture.

    I have always used Word tracker results since I prefer to optimize for Google and since Overture/Yahoo are one of the same I figure that would be biased. Although on occasion I'll use Overture

    Are there any other tools I should use to give me a well rounded picture of terms for Google, Yahoo, and MSN?

    They are different because you are comparing monthly to daily numbers.

    Shawn,

    Duhh that was a easy one thanks. So you find that wordtracker is a better indicator of the big three or do use each result independantly and combine the two?
