It makes your comment about email marketing on the SEOBT blog all the more relevant. Like I said earlier, SEO really appeals to me, but I'm starting to see the importance of expanding my arsenal.

Used in conjunction with ranking data you can make informed decisions, but short of this is relying on data of unknown origins and accuracy. That said, when assessing markets and in first developing a market, that is what is required. The key is to not obsess in the analysis because the precision in the data does not support it. Instead, do "rough" estimation, get into the market so you get real data, and plan to fail out with low financial loss if the reality does not measure up to the estimate.

There's a huge variance in searches for "wedding favors" in both tools. Those sneaky guys at Google are making it harder to do keyword research. I put very little stock in their data.
