When you shop around for top paying keywords, you will find yourself faced with such list providers who sell data based on Overture's bid estimates. They think that if the bids are high in Overture then they must be in Google,
too, and they leave it at that. Most likely they do this because the learning of Overture's bid tool is much easier to get at and understand than Google's.

But things are not that straightforward. Not only that, but such
naive thinking can end up costing you a lot in terms of AdSense revenues plus or minus.

Let's look at an example to see how these two services really compare.

you would miss out on targeting high paying term like 'home equity line'.

According to Google, these keywords are a lot more profitable than what Overture shows them to be.

So, you should go by Google's results, not Overture's, if you want to have a more accurate picture for your top bid
estimates. So, if you are familiar with how to get bid estimates from Google's traffic estimator, then be sure to also check the bid prices for exact matches (e.g., [home equity line]),since exact matches tend to be higher in price than the other match types, and they are often used in AdSense.
