There have been some changes to googles keyword tool
Before you were able to have last months searches and average amount of searches over 12 months.

Now you only have last months local search and global monthly average searches.

Its gonna be difficult to find out the average local monthly searches now.

    I have to tell you too that, changes or not, the numbers there can't always be trusted. I just saw the actual research a client of mine did on this problem. The numbers for one medium traffic keyword were off by 1000x

      Hi Steve,

      You could be right, I head that there was a temporary glitch that was quickly fixed a while back, but I haven't seen anything that appears off lately. I you know of a case I'd love to hear the specifics.

      I've been hoping to do a case study on their data being off, but each time I have investigated a reported error, it turned out to be a simple user error rather than data error.

    Stats always seem to differ among various tools. Even if you do the research on Adwords Tool or the new Search Based Keywoard Tool HERE, results will vary.
