| For so far I understand, it is only possible for Overture and alike engines to find out how many searches there have been for certain character combinations within a certain period.
It does not mean that people searched for any of the urls. that showed up in the search, and it does neither say if anybody did visit any of the webs and why and what they did there.
IMHO statistics concerning traffic without origin or destination is only an indication for bandwidth usage.
If it is not shown from where the visitors came, and what they did, those visits are in many cases irrelevant.
The truth may very well be something like:
"The more searches with keywords [mumble ...] AND [grumble ...] do will yield a list of urls that contains any one or both keywords, but nobody knows in advance for sure where a given url will appear in the SERP."
