By combining these two figures, we estimate that the total daily searches across all engines is 504.0 million". Looks like maybe Wordtracker results could be the not-so-good ones because of their extrapolation from a very small percentage. I don't know if their paid service is better (uses larger sample) or not. keyworddiscovery.com says they get results from 180 search engines, whereas Wordtracker free says “Every day, on average, we collect about 3.18 million search terms from Dogpile.com and Metacrawler.com, who according to Netapplications.com account for 0.63% of searches across all engines.

I queried Wordtracker and it got decent traffic. Queried Google and saw low competition. So I found some sellers with affiliate offerings and have set up one website and working on the blog. But I happened to notice that <a href="keyworddiscovery.com/search.html" rel="nofollow">keyworddisovery.com</a> has completely different results. Who do you believe when different query tools give you drastically different results. Since I've already done most of the work and given your point about using a low competition keyword as a project, I'm going to continue. But now I don't know whether to expect a steady stream of visitors or 2 people a month, ha ha.

Especially about getting some great confidence when you get your site up on that first page of Google. I had that experience today on a site I have been working on for about a year... I was so surprised to see it there as it is a domain forward of a site that is duplicated about 10,000 times with very little difference, but there I was for one of the most competitive words out there... Insurance this is so neat :-) Enjoy your blog - keep up the good work! Hey Court - I think you make some really good points.
