---- Google Now Giving Keyword Search Count?

It is useful if the figures are accurate... it looks like they could be 90% or more accurate (seems to require at least 1 search per day to have sufficient data).

Is overture retired and taken offline? - I can't remember as never used it for a long long time :)

The figures are also not just from google - but include search partners if I read it correctly and therefore numerous other sources aggregated together and providing something very useful for people who are already established and who can work at optimizing things.

This is incredible!
This is really going to hurt some of the kw software/website companies.

What a great tool.

Yeah - it does make it a very useful resource, although I do not know whether Google have any API for this where such websites would be able to provide access to the searches within their own sites for comparison etc.

I suspect that searches are now going to be less accurate when everyone starts playing with the keyword tool - I would think it more wise if Google had made it display numbers only when people had logged into their adwords account - and therefore discount any 'webmaster queries' from the actual figures.
