Google's Search Volumes Are So Inaccurate
- SEO |
So after finally climbing to #1 in Google, that keyword brings in anywhere from a whooping 23-32 visitors a day, according to Google Analytics. At best, this represents a search volume of just 960 per month.
So I tried WordTracker and the numbers there indicate that the keyword should bring around 249 visitors a day.
According to traffic distribution by google ranking research, I should be getting 42% of all the clicks for being ranked #1. It seems like, however, I only get around 9%.
Now I understand that Google derives its statistics from searches on the Google search engine as well as the overall search network, but I can't help but notice the tremendous inaccuracy of these numbers.
This deems keyword researching almost useless as you never know even the approximate number of searches for a given keyword.
My questions are as follows:
1) Are there any other tools, free or paid which represent better overall numbers?
2) How do you overcome such inaccurate numbers when you do keyword researching? Do you use a formula to deduct from the original amount display by Google Adwords Keyword Tool?
3) What would you recommend to do/use in order to arrive at a more accurate number?
