This thread I started a while ago shows an example (probably a bad example)

More info about the weirdness I found in G's keyword search tool in that thread - but my example then was "occiput":

How can 'occiput' have over 4000 exact searches and 1600 broad searches? Are they mutually exclusive?...

(Also: How can 'occiput' have a CPC of �0.51 when no ads are showing on a Google search page when I search for this keyword?)

Maybe I'm missing something with this tool. On the whole the results seem very plausible and I believe them but I still come across examples that make me wonder how accurate the tool is.

I must admit that Occiput.co.uk looks strange, I remember with overture they used to have some barmy results pop up from time to time.

PS, you got me worried now you sod, just bought a �600 domain with a crap url but high google search results.

So I don't know if I'm telling you the truth of clutching at straws, not to worry though mate for 6 months I was valuing names on google "Broad". Thinking that was accurate

All the best

High Google results are one way to work it out, but -

I registered a name because it got high Google results recently, in a bunch of similar style names, and decided to focus on developing it because it was the highest in the list.

Zilch nada cash later, I looked harder - the results are high because I picked the name of a company that went bust in spectacular manner in 1976.

WTH some you win, some you lose ...

High results don't really mean much until you get get into the top five or three positions in the SERPs.
