How to use adwords keyword tool?

    I have been using adwords keyword tool for some time and thought that I knew how to use it.

    Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I checked Wordtracker as well. My domian name shows to be searched 40,000 times (broad) in adwords tool while only 9 times in Wordtracker.

    Then I checked the exact match in adwords and I get 350 searches.

    Which one is correct?

    Thanks for help.

    They rely on different data samples. Google gets their info from their search network while wordtracker gets their's from dogpile & metacrawler. For one people would search slightly differently on these different search engines. Google compresses large amounts of data rounding a lot of numbers off to certain intervals. Neither one is exactly correct, but you will never get 100% of that number anyway, even if you are #1. Use those numbers more to compare one keyword to another. I would rely on Google more as they have the larger data sample and most people are targeting Google with their seo anyway. You might want to check out some other free keyword research tools here.

    I also find Google Adword keyword tool more reliable than Wordtracker that's why I mostly depend on its results when I need to select right keywords for my handle sites. I use Wordtracker just to have other options and compare their results.

    Wordtracker used to be useful but google has changed a number of factors which has also influenced the way we search phrases...so I guess its best to get the data direct from the horses mouth - google

    I have also found that once you set up an Adword account, you can add phrases to your campaign and keep a real-time track on what's actually happening. For example, if you add the work "Blue pens" to your advertising campaign, google will then give exact figures on returns (page views, clicks, impressions etc). As it's in googles best interest to ensure your ads are displayed, after a month or so you'll have enough factual data to rework content and build the site organically, taking away from the paid searches.
