    Good blogpost. Conclusion: We should keep in mind that the Googtle Traffic Estimator is primarily for PPC campaigns with Google Network included. The number that Google shows for traffic are Google search + Google Network (a website with adsense).

    No one keyword tool should be used in isolation in my opinion, however the Google Adwords tool is the most accurate and is what most people should use!!

    Umm Houston, we have a problem:

    One of my client sites was optimized for keyword #### and google tool shows a 10-20 searches/day. But right now, only from Google SERP's he is getting 100-200 unique visits/day.

    So... :)

    Perhaps the person using the tool is useless.

    Like with all keyword tools, you can't rely on them completely, but saying its a useless tool, well, is useless. The best keyword tool though is of course server data.

    It provides a good rule of thumb. Used with others, it can be effective.

    I would for sure trust Google more than some of the other kewyord tools. I used Wordtracker (free version) and it show incorrect data for a few sites that I built. I achieved #1 in serps for that keyword and no traffic. When I inputted that keyword in google tool it showed a accurate result saying that the search was only 3-5 a day instead of 75/day that Wordtracker showed.

    I don't find any problem with rankings and visits from Google keyword selector.
    I am using it, since inventory went down,
    and i am feeling happy with it. no matter what people says to promote their blogs.
