Thx!

I'm pretty used to SEO keyword research..so I always use 3 tools (sometimes 4) just to make sure and also know why overture's data is an overestimation and that wordtracker is said to have a cleaner data base, but does a huge extrapolation, which can be off, too, etc...

Somewhere, I read, that a word/phrase which has about 1,000,000 results in Google turned into a domain usually does lead to some traffic, etc...(given the right tld).

But I bet just like in SEO the number of results in Google isn't really a good measurement and some terms with 100,000 results in Google but nice search volumes and being a word someone is likely to type into the browser can do better than some with 1,000,000 results in Google, which few people search for?

In other words..is looking at what people search for a better way of estimating if there's some money in it than looking at the number of results?

Is there something like a certain ratio of type-in traffic per (REAL) search engine searches? Something like..for 1000 searches done for Google 1 or 2 people type it into their browser with the most-used TLD? (I know this must vary a lot, of course..)
