I was wondering when they were going to update that "150 million" number they've been tossing around for awhile.

Yes it seems Google is very conservative:
"more than 150 million searches"
search on Google groups reveals at least since January 2002 ;)

much more intersting I found 167 Mill. for Overture. Add the 30 Mill for AV/FAST and it's getting interesting.

If that 167 million searches at overture reflects only searches at Overture (not partners like Yahoo and MSN) you can be sure 160 million of those are advertisers checking their bids against competitors.

Frankly, I'm having a hard time to sort those figures. Google with all partners at 250 Mill, compared to the rest at 377 Mill.? Even assuming there's an overlap of the figures for LS, OV and INK, or OV and AV, or OV and ATW, since they often appear for the same query on the the same serp.
