Watch Out For Inflated Keyword Search Volumes

keyword-research.co.uk have found a number of searches on certain keyword to be way too high in all of Google’s tools from the search based tool to Google Insights for search. We heard that it could be caused by domainers artificially inflating the number of searches for their keyword rich domains, done through processes of automation.

If you are about to invest considerable money into a keyword, you should do the following:

• Use multiple search engine tools and keyword software like wordtracker and keyword spy.
• Carry out a PPC campaign to test the CTR
