How accurate is the Traffic Travis keyword tool?

[MarkThompson86]

I was playing around with Traffic Travis for a while trying see how good it is. I was in the keyword finder section of Traffic Travis and found a keyword "how to get six pack abs in 16 weeks" (I am not using this keyword, just using it for an example) and it had a daily search count of 29 according to Traffic Travis.

Now that's about 900 searches per month for a 9 word keyword. That seems a little bit off to me.

I took that same keyword over to the Google Keyword Tool and shows 46 global monthly searches under "exact". Obviously one of these tools is off.

From my own experiences, Google has always seemed to underestimate the search volume. I have never used Traffic Travis before so I am wondering if maybe it is more accurate than the Google Keyword Tool.

Any thoughts??

I always prefer to use the Google Keyword tool - and when estimating search volume go with the lowest estimate, that way I don't waste my time and effort building a site that only 50 people a month will see.

I'm not sure why they would be so vastly different... Does one average monthly search volume out over the year and the other go by the previous month? That could explain some of the difference...
