Is wordtracker accurate?

Hi Warriors.

I recently purchase wordtracker, after being in the IM business for around 18 months. I'm now looking in to new niche markets and when i was researching i found a keyword with tons of variations and very low amounts of traffic.

I set up a ppc campaign, and haven't had many impressions to date, even though this term gets searched 400 times a day, according to wordtracker.

Has anybody else experienced this? And if so do you know any alternatives to wordtracker that work better?

Thanks,
Haynesey

Wordtracker works nice, but I also use spyfu.com , to see what keywords most popular sites in google are using.

I suggest you find some other program next to wordtracker, and test both results.

Thanks,

I don't find that tool to be accurate in some cases either, i would say it is behine WordTracker in terms of accuracy, from my web logs.

Anyone else have any other tools they use?

For me it isn't accurate.
Also it gives me less amount of results/suggestions.
I prefer using 3-4 tools to estimate the searches per keyword.
