I'm doing some keyword research, can anyone tell me how to find out how many searches are done on a particular search term. I use overture to find out how many searches last month but is there anyway to find out how many searches for other months? any keyword tools would be helpful, cheers

I think for data beyond last month you would need to use one of the pay services. Keyword Discovery offers seasonal data. I'm not sure if WordTracker does.

One thing about keyword research is the absolute data isn't worth as much as it might seem at first. It's more about comparing different terms relatively. I want to know that keyword1 got more searches than keyword2, but the absolute values aren't going to be exact. Each research tool grabs from different databases of searches so none are going to be exact counts anyway.

and Overture is very much less than exact.
