Trying to find microniches for my main keyword and I get so many conflicting results using both tools - SEOBook and MS. For instance, when I find a keyword that has many searches with a small amount of page results in SEOBook, I plug that keyword into MS and get either little searches and high competition or vice versa. Even contradictions in MS itself - when I find a good keyword and the SEOC is well under 30,000 on the analytics page, I click on the SEO Competition button and it is all in red! I'm not getting this. Is there something I am not figuring right? Anyone else with these issues?

Test it in Google yourself. Go and do it manually to make sure you get things right. If i find a good keyword, and 2 tools say different things, then i just go and check things out myself.

Yep, me too. Put " " around your keyword phrase and do a google search on it and you will get a good idea of what you are up against. As long as it's not much over 75,000 sites, I run with it. Others may have different strategies .... and even then sometimes it's a gamble.
I LOVE it when I find a really great keyword nugget and discover that it has very little competition.

margo, I am not sure what you mean by doing it myself? How can one tell how many clicks per day there are on a keyword? This is one of the issues.
I found a keyword in SEOBook that has over 1,400 google daily searches and there are 48,600 google results (when you type it in to google search) and with " ", there are 23,700. Now when I go to Market Samurai, it says that there are 118 daily searches and 58,500 competing sites.
From 1,400 to 118 is a mighty big contrast! Does anyone else who uses Market Samurai and also another keyword search tool have this discrepancy?

I use 3 keyword tools, Google, SEOBook and MS. I go what MS says first, then check it in SEOBook, then Google. I like to export my results to excel, then i start working from there.
Take what is minimum. So if 1400 results is minimum, between 2 or 3 tools. You know this keyword gets at least 1400 searches per month. If you like it, go for it. Then Look for backlinks in top10 etc.
I usually don't worry, why there is difference etc. If i get minimum searches, and i like it...i go for it. If 1st tool shows 1000, 2nd 1500 and 3rd 2000, i know that there is 1000 searches MINIMUM. What is OK for me.
Hope this makes sense

Thanks margo,
You misunderstood the data. 1400 was the highest of the 2 ---
SEOBook: 1,400 daily clicks + 48,600 pages in Google search results
Market S: 118 daily clicks + 58,500 Competing Sites (SEOC)
(30DC teaches to find something under 30,000 SEOC, so according to them I should not pick this one!)
