In doing a search for "throw widget away" I see 11,000 searches in a month for example. Then, below it I see 12,000 searches in a month for only "throw widget"
In what I was looking up I couldn't believe someone would search for "throw widget" that many times in a month. It is infact, higher, than "throw widget away". Is there some type of overlap involved in getting the number of searches as 12,000?
I had a hard time believing that anyone would just search for the phrase "throw widget" in what I was searching for. It's just something I don't thing people would look up.
Even if you did, you can't rely in the numbers reported (although they should be broadly indicative of trends). There's some kind of scaling involved before the numbers are reported, and a few other factors that influence accuracy (for instance, the content network contributing to the numbers, although no "keyword search" is conducted there in any traditional sense).
