Yes. Be very careful about basing your decisions exclusively on Wordtracker.

Decisions are only as good as the information their based upon and Wordtracker doesn't appear to collate data from Google, who have ~90% of the UK search market.

Presumably this means that Wordtracker is projecting the UK's search behaviour from a sample of very small search engines with negligible market spares.

Given that studies have show considerable differences between the first page results of even the bigger engines such as Google, Yahoo and MSN, there is no reason to think that search behaviour on Google is all that similar to other search engines.

This suggests that Wordtracker provides fairly detailed analysis of reasonably  reasonably innacuarate data!

My advice?

If optimising for Goolgle, stick to their (free) data, or the extortionately priced alternative from Hitwise which is expensive for a reason.
