Is Google Traffic Estimator A good Tool To Use?

Hi,

just wondering about this one.

I came across the tool on another forum, and it does show estimated daily clicks, but l don't know how reliable it is?

Since putting adsense ad's above the fold, and all the other techniques would increase the number of clicks over the norm, can l use this tool or is it a bit crude.

Shane.

P.S. just go to Adwords and the "reporting and tools tab" - "traffic estimator" to give it a shot.

    I think those stats are for search, not display network.

    Display network is a crap shoot, and they would never be
    able to estimate the number of clicks.

    There are so many other things involved with a click on
    adsense:

    Quality and mindset of visitors.
    Origin of those visitors.
    Ad placement.
    Color scheme.
    Quality of your site.
    Nature of adwords users bidding on your site.
    Site content.

    No way to give an estimate on visitors and clicks.
    Anyone that tries is just blowing smoke. All sites
    and situations are different.

      Thank's Paulgl,

      l should have guessed that since it was only on the Adwords page, that it wouldn't have anything to do with adsense?

      Some members on another forum, thought that it related to content ad's, but apparently not.

      Thank you for clearing that up, l will let them know.


      Hi Milton11011,

      not a bit surprised to hear you say that, l will fill them in about that useful piece of info, also. Thank's.

      That tool is if you are PAYING for ads, it gives you an idea of how many clicks you will get on your ad depending on how much you pay.

      The tool you want to use for keywords is the keyword tool and set it to exact on the left side. This gives you a good idea of how many searches there are per month for certain words.
