Local search > Global search?

Hey guys, how is it possible that the local search is more than a global search in google's kwtool? I thought global search = local + all the other countries. Also, the local numbers are much much higher than global, freaks me out

Hi,

I've not seen this very often, but it will be because the global search volume and the local search volume are calculated over different periods.

The local volume is for the previous month whereas the global is an average over a period of months (I think 12).

Cheers,
Suzanne

Thanx suzanne, I still find it odd that local can beat global, especially in my country with alot of ppl that don't have internet yet. Anyways, ur suggestion seems to be the only logical answer
