Which tool is most reliable to do Keyword Research ?
I have observed that data in Google Keywords Tool seems to fluctuate a lot.
For instance a particular keyword in GKT had an exact Global Search Volume of 2800 3 days back , today it is around 1200 .
I can not make decisions on such unreliable data ...

Good shout, google insights might help break it down, if you export a csv from KWT then it breaks it down by month so that might help!

its "testing types"

To be honest there is no "singe reliable" source of keyword tool data. I would suggest you use other tools i.e. wordtracker in conjunction with GKT and make the best possible decision.
As acitvity super said GKT uses 12 month average. If there is a fluctuation you can find out more about it by using Google Insights.

Its the past 12 months search volume as an average so I cant see how it can flux that much, what's the keyword?

How is it possible to rank first for a keyword, when the keyword isn't written on the page?
I noticed that one of our competitors is ranking in first position for a keyword but when looking on the page grader. The exact keyword is not used on the page at all (or in title, URL etc.). How is this possible, when other sites have content with those exact words?

Keyword Ranking Research Question
Hi Mozzers,This is probably a nooby question, but I was wondering how you guys end up deciding if a Keyword is too hard to rank for? Also vice versa, when do you decide that a keyword is too low volume to rank for so you try to rank for a harder keyword? Eg.

International Keyword Ranking
I want measure my ranking for keywords in various countries and search engines. If I use a tool such as rank checker to determine my rank for google.uk, google.au.com, etc... is that accurate, or does my IP still affect the rankings I see? If I use a VPS such as Hide My Ass (or another product you would recommend), would that make my ranking results more accurate? I also want to measure my ranking in Russia, where Yandex is very strong so a tool to measure my Yandex ranking + Google would be ideal. What method you would recommend to accurately determine my rankings in different countries? Thank you!

On-page Keyword Optimization
So I have created a page for the term "denver buick" but the next largest search term is for "buick denver." Should I create another page focusing on this keyword, or optimize one page for both? It's hard to come up with unique content since they are the basically the same term. But most importantly, if I make this new page, how do I incorporate it into the site architecture? Thanks!
