Thanks.
Overture's keyphrase compression makes results nearly useless for choosing SEO keyphrases, but as far as their traffic estimates - Overture's properties account for about 30-35% of daily searches. Multiply the number they give you by 2.8 or so, to get an overall estimate. However, different "types" of people use different engines. One top query (paris hilton) will be much more popular in yahoo/msn, than another (linux) in google.
