    Google adwords keyword suggestion tool and free wordtracker keyword tool....which one gives the most accurate search count?

    Coz, the result both gives differs. In some cases it differs a lot and so confuses too.

    So, any help, advise, tips on this would be appreciated.

    I would trust the Google keyword tool. You know that Google has a lot of keyword search stats. Meanwhile where is wordtracker getting their info from? I don't think they are even willing to disclose that info. Since Google also gets the most search engine traffic, you are best off focusing your keywords around the majority.

    Are you guys kidding?! The Google keywords tool, of course! WordTracker's results are based on data from Dogpile and Metacrawler - two search engines that combined have less than 1% of the search market. Google has ~ 70% of searches, and they provide their own data in their keyword tool.

    Use WT for brainstorming related keywords, not for volume estimates.

    Wordtracker doesn't get its data from google, it uses meta crawlers, so if you are referring to which gives the most accurate google stats I would have to say google. Wordtracker however is a very useful tool and should be used in combination with google's free tool as part of your keyword research. Yahoo used to have a free tool called overture that gave similar data from Yahoo search results,its important to point out that the stats were very flawed as they also used the searches conducted within adwords tools, so the stats you were getting weren't true to the organic searches and grossly overflated, the point im making is im not sure whether the googles stats include the same info. Maybe someone on the forum has that answer.
