Has anybody done any research to see if keyword search patterns are generally the same across various search engines? For example, I did a search for 'whitehouse' on the Google External Keyword Tool (phrase match), KeywordDiscovery, and the SEOBook Tool. Google -------- whitehouse - 368,000 whitehouse com - 27,100 whitehouse gov - 27,100 www whitehouse - 22,200 the whitehouse - 14,800 Keyword Discovery --------------------- whitehouse - 3,068 amy whitehouse - 621 whitehouse current news - 512 the whitehouse - 124 jane whitehouse - 88 SeoBook ---------- whitehouse - 1,035 amy whitehouse - 86 jane whitehouse - 67 james whitehouse - 63 village of whitehouse - 55 I know SEOBook and Keyword Discovery are meta search tools, but this would seem to imply that keyword search patterns at the various engines is not the same. I got similar results for other queries i did (e.g. madonna, microsoft, etc.) Thoughts?
I've noticed that ever since google started showing numbers that all of their numbers are way over inflated compared to other keyword tools. Can't trust anyone anymore) I've heard that even Wordtracker uses Google.
