I have noticed that when i check bid price and traffic estimate.Google tells me wrong estimates of daily clicks.
I mean suppose i am talking about keyword "abcxyz".Google recommends $0.05 for this keyword and display figures in table which show it will receive 100 clicks on average daily.
But the clicks i received is not even near to Google Estimations.
So why Google has not correct estimation system?

I am not sure why Rolozo, but more people have stated here that the traffic estimator is completely useless.
I experience the same. They promise me a 100 clicks,
they give jack sh#$!

hi rolozo, welcome to the board. yes, the google traffic estimator is more or less useless, this is a pretty universal thought.

Then what adword user has to do for getting accurate estimates.
Because if you have not right estimate then running Adword campaign for particular keyword is completely useless and waste of time and plans.

Use the overture thing to get idea of monthy searches. The google estimator has been broken for years and Google has made no attempt to fix it.

not to be all mysterious, but there are plenty of tools out there, some paid, some not that you can use to estimate traffic...look around, search google, youll find it.
