they use the log files of meta search engines such as dogpile to estimate (fairly well) the usage. hth, cheers, J

My favorite way to find great keywords is to get a list of good looking possibilities in the free WordTracker and Overture tools and then test them in AdWords for a week or so. Only then do you really get a true picture of which keywords are the best.

WordTracker also compiles meta-search engine data to estimate traffic. IMO, its numbers are not too accurate. At least with the Overture & AdWords tools you are getting aggragate data. Another alternative is a service like Hitwise, which buys the log data from a bunch of IPs. This data is supposedly much more accurate, but watch out - it has a big price tag! If you want to try something fun, check out the keyword tool at Spyfu-dot-com. You can enter one of your competitors' URLs and they return a list of their keywords - both organic and paid. I seriously question the accuracy of these lists, but I've used it to come up with a few humdingers I wouldn't have found anywhere else.
