Overture Keyword Selector predictions are bad?

    Hi,
    Im currently #1 at yahoo for a keyword that the keyword selector, at overture, tells me that gets 21k monthly searches per month.

    For some odd reasons, I do not get any traffic from that keyword, from yahoo.

    Anyone knows why? Is the predictions of Overture keyword selector tools wrong?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    According to that tool, my keyword gets 696.7 /day from Overture, but it has no data found for Wordtracker?

    I still have no traffic from yahoo even if Im still #1.

    Anyone knows what could be happening?

    Overture has been bad sometimes for me. To clear the doubt i use WordTracker, Google Trends and above all my common sense.

    Overture will combine similar terms into one.
