Tried to use the keyword tool in Adwords - and specifically the search volume indicators - to be able to rank keywords for search volume in Ireland. I'm not too concerned with the actual volumes - just to help me rank the keywords by volume.

It does not seem to be working for me, in that (in my view) it is giving me USA or world stats, not Irish ones. Evidence is that it shows the word "attorney" as having 4 times the search volume as the word "solicitor", supposedly for Irish traffic -and obvioulsy, that is incorrect.

I am using the keyword tool from within my Adwords account and from within an Adgroup, so it should recognise my campaign settings as looking for volume results solely from Ireland?

Any thoughts?

Hi
With the External Adwords Tool, the volumes look fine.

Thanks, Merrill. I found subsequently that it worked for me using the external tool but not the internal one; I've yet to work out why ...
