HELP! Search volume for keywords drastically change if I'm signed in to my google account

If I use the Google Keyword Tool when I am NOT signed into my google account, the search volume for my long tailed keyword phrase is less the 200 searches per month globally. However, when I AM signed into my google account, this same long tailed keyword phrase I am targeting shows a global monthly search volume of 550,000

This is a huge difference! How am I supposed to determine what search volume is correct? Anyone else ever have trouble like this using google keyword tool?

Please help me ASAP!

    Can you check that in both cases the match type used (Broad, Phrase, or Exact) is the same? If the match type is reset from Exact to Broad, that would explain the difference.

      Okay so I just went back and checked again and here's what I got.
      (This is all for global monthly search volume)

      When I am signed into my Google account:
      Broad = 550,000
      Exact = 46
      Phrase = 91

      When I'm not signed into my Google account:
      Broad = 140
      Exact = 140
      Phrase = 140

      So what does all this mean?
      Basically what I am trying to do is find strong keywords to promote CPA offers using PPC. Obviously I am new to this though. What does Broad, Exact, and Phrase mean? What would I want to use?

      I am seeing the complete opposite of what you are saying. Weather I am signed in or not, all the options are the same. I can change the categories, everything in the "contains" box, the "match" types, and even all the advanced options.

      Its the results that are changing when I am signed in or signed out! In particular, the search volume.
