I would like to hear answers from the owners of the websites on different niches who have their websites on a Google Top 1 place. For example, let's say your website is on 1st place for a keyword 'buy rose', Google Keyword tool says it has 33 000 Monthly Searches. How much traffic does your website get with this Keyword a month, if your website is on the 1st place for this keyword? I would like to know how accurate Google Keyword Tool in practical using. Waiting for your answers with anticipation!
What you need to do is sign up for an Adwords account and then run a ad for that keyword. See how many times your ad has impressions.
It has been very effective for me, but you should also check it against a couple of other keyword tools such as : Seo Book Keyword Suggestion Tool and a free keyword tool Wordtracker. How well you optimize your site will also make a difference as to how effective your keywords are from any keyword tool. Good Luck !
Hi, I'm not going to talk about specific keywords by I found out first hand that the Google Keyword tool is not very accurate for many searches. It is good at telling you if keyword a is bigger than keywords b but don't rely on the actual numbers that the tool states. There are a lot of problems with it and a lot of mistakes. About two months ago I noticed that the results change if you are logged in to google adwords or if you are checking from different locations. Also, when the old tool was still available for use, there were huge fluctuations between the old and new tools. One tip I can give you - always make sure to use the exact mode when checking.
I want to clarify that this is a keyword Tool so tool means we can be 100% depend on it. There is no doubt that I personally use google keyword tool to take suggestion of the keywords rather than others. It's good to take ideas about the best niche keywords for your site and I am also sure here due to that it shows the keywords used by the others (by collecting the user search queries, searching statistics, latest trends etc.) So it's suggestions are good enough. If I have a site with my targeted keywords top 1 in the Google SERPs then it's sure I would get benefit by my search market and surely get targeted audience for my site. If you want to know the monthly traffic of any keywords, then put that site url in the Alexa, it will show you monthly visitors coming on that site. It will show you the traffic coming from the US, Just add some more thousand for rest word and that would be the traffic coming from that keyword on that website. Otherwise there is no authentic and accurate way to tell that it will divert such number of traffic on your site with this keyword.
I do trust Google Adwords KW Tool, though it's hard to rate the accuracy since mostly the results are approximate figures and not really an exact value
i use it only to get an idea of how much the search volume is i don't rely on it 100% but since we focus on google traffic its the closest to the actual search volumes amount .
I have a few websites got ranked #1 for medium competitive keyword. I would say it is average accurate. You have to refer the number in "exact match" to be that accurate.
so far i trusted Google KW tool, but after some time when my sites reached #1 i have had my doubts. The traffic is actually lower than the google KW numbers show.
Since I rely on google to bring me traffic then I trust google keyword tool, I also use wordtracker as a comparison.
i would say its 95% accurate. that high? its because google's main job is search engine and it has enough resources to have an accurate keyword tool
Now Google analytic also showing it.. Better check once .. I thing since few months they add it instead of the keyword position in SERP
I don't trust the Google keyword tool, I only use it to estimate how much traffic i might get to my web and that's it.
