Trust Google Keyword Tool PollThe other day, we polled our readers asking if you trust Google's keyword suggestion tool. We received a lot of responses, well over 200 and I wanted to share them with you.

The majority, 76% said they do not fully trust the keyword tool. While 23% said they do trust the keyword tool. Trusting Google is not something most people do these days.

Let me break down the results for you.

Question: Do You Trust Google's Keyword Tool?

:: Not Fully said 147 respondents or 62% :: Yes said 55 respondents or 23% :: No said 33 respondents or 14% :: Other answer... said 4 respondents or 2%

But I bet most of you still use the tool. :-)
