On: DuckDuckGo is top result for "new search engine"

[axod]

"new search engine": Approx search volume January=18,100. Approx search volume average=22,200

(From google adwords tools).

For comparison, "people search" gets 68,000,000 January, and average of 30,400,000

Sort of off topic, but is the adwords tool the best one to use to find search volume?

WordTracker has a great free too: http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/

Also SEOBook has a decent tool: http://tools.seobook.com/keyword-tools/seobook/

But yes, AdWords tools is among the best to find search volume. No one else has the data to offer the same information.

If you have a point of reference, I find Google trends useful as well. By point of reference, I mean you have some keywords where you know the actual click volume from personal experience, i.e. you rank 1st on that keyword.

Yeah I've used Google Trends and Insights a lot, just wanted to see what everyone else out there is using.

Seems to give logical numbers from what I've seen, How accurate they are I don't know, but they seem to be in the right sort of ball park.

Thank you. I've been using them, Google Trends & Insights and Exact Report (for rankings).

I personally think adwords tool is the best freely available tool right now. Spyfu and wordtracker are other options - paid. More expensive Hitwise reports, can't beat these in terms of depth and accuracy.
