About AdWordsMarket.com Data
This section is provided to give you an idea of how the AdWordsMarket
database is compiled so you can better judge it's accuracy for you specific situation.
This section is updated reguarly as the composition of our data sources change.
Sources
The Database contains samples of real-word searches (done by real people) taken from various
search engines across the world.
Currently, the database contains samples from the following countries:
- US / International
- Germany
- Netherlands
- Denmark
- Sweden
We plan to add samples from France, Belgium, Spain, Italy and the UK soon. Due to the current
composition of the databases, German and Dutch words may seem slightly overrated compared to
English keywords.
Popularity
Please note that the number you see under Popularity is the number of times a search
appeared in our sampes (regardless of origin), without statistical corrections or estimates.
In other words, do not view the popularity figure as the actual number of searches done world wide on
that keyword, the actual number is many times larger.
The Popularity number is your indicator to find the keyword combinations that generate the most traffic.
Competing pages
The Competing Pages number represents the number of webpages (results) found when searching for that
that keyword on a major search engine. Currently, these numbers come from Yahoo! and AlltheWeb. These
indexes are slighly smaller than Google's, but much bigger than most others, so the results found on these
engines should be a good overall indicator of what you are up against.
Please note that Competing Pages data is not available for all keywords yet. If the competing pages are zero,
we have not retreived the information for that keyword yet. Also, some 'adult' related keywords may have suspiciously
low competing pages. This is due to Offensive Content filters built into Yahoo and Alltheweb. We will correct this soon.
Keyword Effectiveness Index
The Index number is an attempt to indicate keyword effectiveness. If a keyword is popular and
is found on only a few pages, the Index will be high (representing a good chance to get traffic from
this keyword).
Overrated keywords
Out of place/overrated keywords can appear in the research results due to automated search scripts (such as position checkers).
Certain keywords are queried many times by automated software, which inflates their popularity when picked up in our sample.
AdWordsMarket attempts to filter out these keywords to give you the most acurated human generated keyword research available.
Usually these keywords are easy to spot, they are out of place in their ranking or have an extemely high search to competing pages
ratio. If you find a keyword that you think should be filtered out, please let us know.
