Hi,everyone!When I checked the search volumn for a keyword with google keyword tool,there was a result of 2400/month(80/day).But when I turned to tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook,it display a google daily est of 18 and wordtracker account of 14.Then I checked different keywords along this way,it is abvious that volumn indicated in google keyword tool is many times more than in seobook keyword tool.Maybe I had misunderstood something? Could you give me some kind advises concerning search volumn? Thanks in advance.

    I've never seen a keyword tool that is very accurate. The one I feel is closest to accurate is the traffic estimator inside of Adwords (you need a Google account). Log in, setup a test campaign and ad with a high daily budget and click bid, and then divide the number of estimated clicks they give you by 2 or 3 (assuming your budget and bid is high enough to retain 1st position for an entire day without running out of funds). This method seems to give the most accurate ctr I can expect to get when comparing with my statcounter stats for actual clickthroughs I've received once I've ran an ad, but it does vary... significantly at times and depending on the keywords.

    I am partial to Google's keyword tool just because Google has some of the most up-to-date data on, well, itself. No tool is perfect though.
