Can someone help explain something. I've been basing keyword popularity on ovterture results, just like most here, but google is king and their Trend labs shows very different results.
For example...
a search of 'episode' shows ovt results of 14,500
a search of 'comic book' shows ovt results of 52,800, almost 4 times that of episode
the results for google trends shows just the opposite, they show episode being a much more popular search term...
for the singular search terms -
http://www.google.com/trends?q=comic+book,+episode&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
for the plural search terms -
http://www.google.com/trends?q=comic+books,+episodes&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all
How much 'search volume' is google displaying? Is there a seo expert or anyone out there that can explain the discrepancies? Shouldn't we all be using trends lab results as a better base of importance than ovt?
thanks, mike
