Traffic Estimator Sandbox - Help needed

Hei.

Overture says xx,xxx searches wordtracker says x,xxx searches and google gives a green graphic line. Should I panic ? How can I find most accurate search counts for keywords. I bet it can be done with google but I have no Idea how to read that green graphic line. Is there some tips and calculations to get exact number of searches from that green line ?

Thanks.

 

All traffic estimators are good for is for comparing different things. X has 10 times more visitors than X + Y = that sort of thing.

 

The traffic estimator works on the basis of a 5% CTR. So if it says you will get 5 clicks per day the daily search volume is 100.

 

Google trends shows only search trends for a keyword. Overture shows the number of monthly searches, WT – daily. However, the number are only approximate estimates, none of them is able to provide you with the exact data. You are able to get the precise data only is you are in the top for a keyword.

 

Thanks for answering.

Does Overture give only yahoo searches ?

 

its best to use more than one to have a better idea, there is one on digitalpoint...

 

overture doesn't show plural and it combines similar search terms....and overture is not updated...it hasn't been since January 2007

 

Those estimates are pure crap. No way are they accurate.

 

The bottom line is that you cannot find a completely accurate figure for any search. The best thing to do is compare different terms relative to one another.

 

the most reliastic one is perhaps wordtracker but again no tool can give you the right data.

 

google keyword tool is giving better results than the overture

 

trich but they dont tell you number of searches

 

They do, you just need to multiply the estimated clicks by 20.

 

20? some magic number? any theory or someone told you its 20

 

They work on a 5% CTR.
