Whats an estimate on Overture results and how they relate to Google. I thought I saw something that said 10 to 1 but now I'm not sure. I'm just looking for an estimate no exact type figures. Example Overture November result for; visit texas - 178 searches What would the number be for searches on Google in November (5X the amount - 10X the amount) ??? Thanks your feedback would be appreciated.
I read somewhere (I don' remember exactly the source) that overture doesn't count the results with google) Let's suppose that google represents 75% of searches, that would mean there were last month about 700 searches for "visit texas" and about 520 from google.
The overture search counts are based on searches performed at overture/yahoo. Every time you query their keyword suggestion tool, you are changing the search count. As such the overture tool is not very good at giving reliable data. [state changed by measurement - quantum physics, anyone?] Also lots of automated bots use the overture tool and further skew the results. I know of one keyword suggestion tool that sources data from all over the place, including Google it's self. It's currently under development but I'm promised it will be ready soon!
