I was, i'm getting different numbers now however it's still inflated even taking in to account only 80% of people click on the #1 result.
Same here, these numbers on first glance seems GREATLY inflated... i dunno if they are more for shareholders to be proud of or for actual statistical data.. I have #1 rankings for a number of searches and get nowhere close to even a third of the volume that they are saying... I wonder if these numbers are not just to impress potential adwords buyers. My actual traffic for the numbers they provide are nowhere close and like I said, they are for # 1 rankings. My one site ranked # 1 gets 900 visits TOTAL pm for all of its keywords, not just the main one, Google reckons there are 3100 searches pm just for my main keyword? Doesn't add up....
Actually funny thing, I checked same keyword twice after intervals, numbers are different. I guess its not totally perfect at this stage
Guys get ready for slower response of the tool and frequent outages in future, with the number of other tools i can think of coming from using this data. Wonder if Google can handle this or will suffer like the overture keyword tool the image confirmation is a limited filter for bots.
its really great! I've been using that tool ever since. I also like the idea that they place the country. now I don't have to use google trends and keywords external at the same time.
Now the days are gone when you have to keep staring at the Green bar and try to figure out which keyword is better than others based on the trend bar.
You're only going to get a share of those 3,100 searches per month. Being number 1 you'll get a lot of them but not all.
