Screen shot of an AdWords keyword estimate showing actual numbers in addition to the green bar on the other end of this link; http://www.adamap.com/adamap/2007/03/google_keyword_.html Checked a bunch of my accounts and don't see it, sure it's just being tested in select accounts. Personally, I hope they don't give out the actual numbers. The day they do will be the same day people who work AdWords for clients or for a company will be asked to explain why they don;t get as much traffic as the tool says is out there. I already filer all the estimates that go to my associates into a "low, med or high" catagory - I never include actual numbers. "The Google tool says that term gets searched 1,000,000 times month, why are we only getting 10,000 visitors?" Well, there's a few dozen other things a searcher can click on..personalized search..content vs search network activity...budget limitations, etc, etc, etc. I'll be sticking to my "low med high" estimates thank you SEL coverage.
I would love it if they showed the numbers, because then I could know how much a high bidding keyword could actually bring me! It's also great for those who work with SEO.
This will work as a great tool for all SEO's, now people won't have to rely on wordtracker or overture for estimation.
Are you positive that info is real? Someone who has access to this data can make millions just selling the info. This is really huge, but I don't think is real.
wait so this would mean that terms dont get as much traffic as overture estimates? Doesnt this suck? Am I missing something?
