Inventory/Overture

Does anyone know how accurate their results are, when compared with Google? I got listed on a nice term, on the frontpage, but the actually traffic I am getting seems a lot lower than shown there (a lot). Anyone with experiences let me know.

It clusters a lot of misspellings and plurals together which skews the actual results. It's not that representative of Google traffic.

That sucks. There actually seems to be a fair bit of difference. Anyway, happy I got where I am, and things always seem to pick up at the later part of the day - so here is hoping. Thanks again.

So you know, I got listed for something which overture says gets 250,000+ searches a month (or 8,000 a day), and I seem to be only getting about 30-40 uniques an hour. Is this normal? Or does it have something to do with the fact that it has only just been updated? I am on the top part of the first page too.

depending on your word/phrase it's perfectly normal...don't sweat it...go replicate what you just did times 100 and you'll be sittin purrty...

:2cents

It counts all those webmaster quieries from sepparate tools based on ov also so it's anything but accurate. However you get quite good picture in relative importance.

Ok, that sucks. But still, it isn't too bad. I will just have to work a bit harder ;)

I'd have to agree with this answer for lack of a better answer than I have previously given.
