Overture & Google hits

[lind]

Could someone explain me, what should I conclude from the hit numbers in Domain Name Value estimator. E.g. if a keyword has ca 10 000 hits in Google but 0 in Overture, what does it mean? Is it bad, good or is there some "catch" somewhere?

Just focus on the overture and wordtracker results -

Google results doesnt really mean anything. Google results are just how many pages were found with that search term in them.

Google results are nice, but high Overture means high search relevance.

Yeah, try to get in Overture over Google.

Thanks everyone for comments! So, the Google hits are not real "hits" or searches, but more like what web-developers expect people would type in a search engine:?
I still have some questions:
1. what search engines are represented in Overture?
2. maybe a stupid one, but I'll still ask it: is there any way to know, WHERE the particular searches have come from. It's maybe not so important with gTLDs, but e.g. in the case of co.uk it would be good to know :tri:

I'd also have to agree that Overture #s give a better idea of what people are actually looking for, 10,000 matches in Google for a term is kinda on the low side but that doesnt always mean its a bad thing if its a niche market and Overture #s are on the high side.

Sorry, know idea about ? 1 and 2...
