I need to find out from some seo experts which keyword tool is accurate that I can rely on before I spend weeks trying to rank for a exact match high traffic keyword.

Would comparing google's trends & google insights for the keyword
and if they pretty much match be one way.

Here's the results from the seven keyword tools doing a exact
keyword search.

Google AdWords Tool: 110,000
Seobook: 8,307
Wordtracker: 4,710
KeywordSpy: 201,000
Keyword Discovery: 749
Spyfu 3,016
Semrush 27,100

None of them.

And spending weeks trying to rank for ONE word or phrase is crass stupidity!

You should be optimising and promoting for HUNDREDS of words or phrases.

There is no wonder you lot whinge and moan about how "SEO is so difficult" when you do dumb things like this!!!

New people are here seeking help......
The senior members should give help when possible....

Bear in mind that some sources provide different formula results...
For example.... time frame.....month, day, etc...
last week, last month.....
Where they get their information....

Accuracy is very questionable....
Multiple sources and keyword phrases are much safer....
BUT require research...

All of them, but don't expect exact results, keyword research is NOT an exact science, you need to look at data trends not snapshots of data.

Take monthly or bi-weekly results from each tool and chart them.

Use the words and phrases as "seeds" to find other related words and phrases.

Chart the words and phrases that send visitors.

Search marketings isn't about finding "most important keywords" then spamming links for them, there is a bit of planning involved.

For free tools, Google Adwords keyword tool and for paid services, Market Samurai is my bet,. For runner-up, I go for Traffic Travis.

How do you know it is "the best" if it is the only one you are using?
