What site is the most reliable to find out how many searches it gets per day/month? would google keyword searches be the best?

keyword discover?

and others?
 


There is some debate about how reliable the Google Keyword Tool is, but I still think it is the most accurate. I mean, a lot of tools and other things out there use the Google Keyword Tool to determine their numbers so you are best off just going right to their source, right?

I think you just need to use a little common sense too and you shouldn't have a problem. We all know that "pink fluffy pillows" isn't going to get 31,000 exact match searches each month (I don't know what it gets, but I don't see it getting many).
 
I think Google is a good choice for this, even though they report average numbers and not exact. But you still get good data from them. You can also try Wordtracker. You will see differences between both but using both will help you in your keyword endeavors.
 
Google Keyword Tool is not bad.
Just remember it's not the tool to give you the numbers (yeah, I know there are some people using it for it), it's more useful when comparing different keywords so you can pick the ones with more/less searches.

It's also not bad for trending when you download the sheet and open it in excel... very useful when working on seasonal campaigns.

Also, the numbers are searches, so impressions no clicks, then remember that depending on niche/keyword total CTR won't be 100%, but 300%-400% (less or more, depending on keyword). <-- just realised you didn't ask for it, but was typing too fast... and maybe one will find it useful anyway.

GKT is good for research. If your online earning is not more $1K per month, it's not worth to buy some tools.
 
GKT is not reliable as it is suppose to be. Anyways it goes the same for the saying "you get what you've paid for"

I'm not an affiliate or something like that but "before" I use market samurai for your keyword searches then GKT would be your second search tool just for comparison and backups before getting that right KW.

Currently when I'm need of a Keyword I just hire somebody that will give me huge number of profitable KW which will take me about 3-5 hours searching using Market Samurai and GTK. They will give the project to me in 24 hours but it saves me effort while doing much more profitable things. The money I pay this Researchers are about $5-7 only. Now Beat that!

Hope that give out some valuable input on your query. This is not the question above but what I can say is that - Hire someone then focus your attention to something more profitable.
