I read your post from Sept 01
> The Count number from WT was only for the specific phrase "internet security."

I have just been looking for that within wordtracker. The touble with that is then you can only compare exact term searches with exact term competing web pages and this in my opinion is not how users use the internet search engines. It certainly is not how I use them, I just type in what I want and see what I get I rarely use advanced options and very rarely use quotes.

So it seems to me at the moment that the only valid wordtracker competition reports are for exact phrase against web page competing for exact phrase.

For many niche key phrases this shows no competing pages yet when excluding the "" and cheking the search engine directly you find there are tens of thousands of competing pages and sites.

As I think users search mainly without the "" it devalues the wordtracker results and their KEI estimation especially.

What do you think?
