Count figure - what does it mean?

[charliek]

Hi,

I've been using WordTracker and have come up against this problem time and again.

Is the count figure a daily amount or bi-monthly? I know WordTracker say it is the amount of times the word appears in their database over a 2 month period, but what exactly does this mean in real terms? The predict figure is often the same as the count figure, and it is supposed to be a daily figure across all engines.

So if there are any WordTracker experts out there, I'd really appreciate a hand with this one.

Thank you.

The "count" is how many times the keyword appeared in the metacrawlers within a two month period where they get their data from. (What you mentioned above)

The predicted value is the maximum daily traffic you are predicted to get from ALL the major search engines.

They have a simple formula for determining this and it is listed in their tutorial section. Have you read through that?
