The data that Google provides is accurate.

I have taken the data from Google insight for some high volume phrases that we also run Google PPC on. We run the ads 100% of the time and are always position 1-3 in Google ads.

I have matched the data over a 6 month period and I can confidently say that the data Google insight produces fits against our PPC data within a 5% error rate.

Google insight does use a factoring system to reduce the real search volume down to fit onto 0-100 scale. But – the factoring system is not complex.

We are just finalising our data and will be publishing the results of our findings on our online marketing blog as soon as we can. Give us a couple of hours.

I have to agree with a lot of the comments here. This is good fun data, but it's nothing you can't find and I can see the people who use it not using it properly. Great just what we need more people with access to data that they interpret improperly. Kyle James's last blog post..Is Hosted Search Really Ready for Prime Time?

I agree with you, I always look at Google's information dubiously. I wouldn't replace Google Insight with actual market research, however it can be a good place to start. Samirb's last blog post..Two New Social Sites: SocialBrowse and Social Median

@Seologia – yes, they’re saying that, as a percentage of searches per country, more people in T&T search for iphone than the US. And, more people in SA search for “reputation management”–as a percentage–than than the US. I just don’t believe it.

Aren't they just saying that almost every guy in T&T searches for iPhone and not all search volumen in the US goes to that single keyword? Seologia's last blog post..Un poco más acerca de Google Knol
