One of my focused keyword is #1 @Google.com and Google UK and many Google worldwide site Google Adword told me that key word monthly local search is 4400 (US) and Global is around 8000 BUT My webmaster tools told me only 60 impressions at last month for this keyword. Where is the remain search go ? I am #1 for this key word, 4400-60 = 3340 -> where are they gone ? GOOGLE = LIAR ( I spend tons of time to get #1 and expect have 4000 impressions, WTF)
The Adwords tool is well known for being wildly inaccurate. Also, were you searching "Exact" or "Broad"? That makes a huge difference in the totals returned.
>GOOGLE = LIAR That is known for a long time. I wasted tons of time and money at promoting my website focused on a couple of keywords. I became number one, and then got nothing... The only thing I can recommend is to use several sources of information and to be careful. Add Wordtracker service to your arsenal.
I don't know where people get the idea that because they are on top of the 1st page of Google that they are guaranteed to get loads of traffic. Use other traffic sources - they are far more reliable.
Probably, because they see the statistic about a certain keyword, those thousands of people that type that keyword every god-damned day in the search field, and want to get those people as visitors.
I've heard the same things about Google, so your best bet is probably not to rely to heavily on getting traffic from that one source and use as many other traffic resources as possible.
Have you used exact match keywords? You need to recheck your keywords first......... for example if you are finding 2000 searches (exact match) in a month, then it is guaranteed that 80% searches your website would get if it is on the first position.
Google has its own interests at heart. They cancelled my adsense for no reason but continued to spam me to buy adwords!
There is absolutely no guarantee that you will get 80% of the searches. Thinking like this explains why the OP was so annoyed.
No reason. Yeah right. Perhaps there was just a tiny chance that you broke their TOS. You remember: those things you never even bothered to read.

Do tell. One minute my account was approved, the next it was gone. Nothing changed on my site. No traffic or clicks bought, nothing. Just gone, just like that. Load of shit.
