Next, the number given from Overture's tool is obscured by their match driver. The keyword includes misspellings, plurals and other variations in their count and we have no idea what the true number of searches for that term is so trying to estimate the volume from any other search engine is simply not feasible. You should use that number as a guage compared to other keywords. There is no hard and fast rule to multiple or divide to figure out the total potential on other engines. Lastly, even if you have the #1 spot, there are other factors that determine whether a surfer will click your listing or not.

I totally agree. SEO success is more about having that "smell" on where the right niche is. (Hope my english was right, its hard for me to translate...) It's like being on the bourse. A matter of 6th sense...
