I thought of this topic from another thread:

http://forums.seo.ph/showpost.php?p=24113&postcount=12

But since pag sinagot ko, parang hihiwalay sa original topic nya, I decided to talk about it here instead sa Keyword Research. Robert mentioned this in another thread:

masarap din pag nasa first page ang site mo, tulad ng site ko , search mo sa Google "free pc tips" no.8 out of 133 million kaya lang wala gaano nagse - search nyan. ito medyo madami-dami "computer troubleshooting" no.4 out of 15 million, pero ito ang minimithi kong keyword "computer repair (http://www.sacada2.net)" 140k search per month sabi ng Overture, malapit na ako no.22 out of 79 million pages.

gusto ko malaman kong talagang 140,000 ang nagse-search nito monthly. naisahan ako doon sa "pc computer repair" 8,000 search per month pero wala palang nagse-search ng keyword naito pati na yung "computer pc repair".

Ganyan na ganyan din question namin noon. I have used Overture's Keyword Inventory, Wordtracker, Keyword Discovery and all give different numbers. Generally sa observation ko, Overture ang taas ng numbers and kahit pabalibaliktad mga order ng words, parang pareho lang sa kanya, pati plural and singular minsan pareho. Then the numbers are big. And generally, not always, maskonti ang numbers sa Wordtracker (http://our.affiliatetracking.net/wordtracker/a/18105) and pinaka konti sa Keyword Discovery (http://www.trellian.com/?id=301182). Until dito sa company where I work, we decided to compare all three on common keywords, from real estate, to business, to mortgage and other general terms and compared all three and graphed them.

Ayun ang shape ng graphs nila parepareho. Iba iba lang numbers. So in my opinion...

Believe in the general trend, do not believe in the exact numbers. As long as alam mo some keyword is searched more than others, and it is more ideal to target that, ok na yun. But the numbers they give, not necessarily saktong sakto yun.

Di yn exact.. specially in the case of Overture and Google & Yahoo based keyword research tools.
Kc npanuod ko sa isang SEO Video Tutorial n yng mga tools tulad nyan eh provided for the PPC Campaign.
Kya ang mga results dw nyan eh "more swayed on the PPC". Kaya dapat tlaga extensive research ang gagawin at di lng dpat isang tool ang gagamitin.

thanks Benj sa comments. medyo natututo na rin ako, di na ako gaano nagre-rely sa Overture, pero mas maganda rin masubukan para malaman uli kong totoo.

In a nutshell: Trending tools sila.

These tools are great for getting trends - but not for metrics. Besides, I don't think it useful to exactly measure those to the last click.

Personally, I use keyword tools for trends then tweak and adjust according to what works best along with some inteligent data taken from a decent site analytics tool.
