Is Wordtracker Accurate?
I use Wordtracker as my keyword research tool, but I've noticed a lot of inaccuracies in the Wordtracker numbers.
Here is one example: Wordtracker says the keyword brazilian gets over 2,700 daily searches and has over 4,800 predicted daily searches.
However, this site is at the top of Google's search results for the keyword brazilian—see the Brazilian bikini photo in the SERPs below:
According to my stats I am getting less than 100 visits per week for the keyword brazilian, even though I am at the top of a page that must be viewed a couple thousand times per day.
Is there something wrong with my stats or with Wordtracker? This is just one example from this site. I have seen other similar things for other keywords where the numbers don't add up well.
