Adwords Keyword Tool - Cost and Position Estimate

[projectv3]

Hey all,

Just a quick question on this, I noticed that the position are way off for alot of keywords I put into this tool in comparison to the actual prices and position in my adwords campaign. Am I doin something wrong or is it just like that? Can anyone suggest a more reliable price/position estimate?

for example, a bid over $0.60 shows a position 1-3 for terms like payday loans, but in reality for such a saturated niche you get a position in the 100s...

Yeah, it's just like that for a lot of keywords. The only way to really know the CPC is to run a campaign.
