Overture Keyword Assistant stats

According to the Overture Keyword Assistant (http://inventory.uk.overture.com/d/...ory/suggestion/), I assume the number of search statistics only include Yahoo searches (no other SEs)?

If so, according to the blog post below can one safely multiply the Overture value by 13 [100/7.72] to get the number of searches per month for all SEs?

Thanks guys

Tools can give a good indicator of a search volume for a specific keyword phrase but remember that they are not 100% accurate - as the SEO Book puts it:

Quote:
The tool can only possibly offer approximations. Exact search volumes are hard to find due to vanity searches, click bots, rank checkers, and other forms of automated traffic.


Still its a good find - and Google's stranglehold tightens once again - surely the Google Dip must not be far off.

On a similar topic here is an absorbing SE Keyword Checker it runs against Overture and uses the Overture result for Yahoo, Doubles it for Google and halfs it for MSN. i think if you take into consideration the above quote about SE approximations then it may not be that far off the mark for Google.
