Google Keyword Tools - Different Data?
- SEO |
As you know Google has these two keyword tools
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and Search-based keyword tool
Now, let say you have the keyword "golf clubs" (that's phrase match)
You type that into the tool.
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
You put the setting at English, US ( which is the default)
And Google returns you about 200 keywords with all their values.
Now, you type the same keyword "golf clubs" into the tool:
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
The default English, US is left set.
But here you don't input any URL into the 'Website' field. You just put the keyword into the 'Word or Phrase' (In Keyword only) field.
The results returned with this tool are around 800 keywords.
Then if you compare the 'Monthly Searches' with that of the 'Local Search Volume' given in the Google Keyword Tool External, they are vastly different.
Of course I realize there is an overall opinion that Googles data is way off anyway, but it seems to me that both of those tools seem to pulling data from different sources.
Can minds greater than mine enlighten me?
