I'm using the Google Keyword tool to research a few keyword for a niche site I'm building, and I can't understand one thing...

If I search for 'Army Pension', the top 2 results for local monthly searches are...

'What is army pension'

'How do I get army pension'

Yet they both have exactly 301,000 monthly searches. I think it's too unlikely that both different search terms would have the exact same amount of monthly searches, so what am I missing here?

Thanks to anyone who can help

Note: the term 'army pensions' is not the term I'm actually looking for, it was used as an example.

Hi Shane,

Get the two example keywords and put them in as Exact Match keywords, then see what they come out as.

Its always wise to do your final keyword list using Exact Match inside traffic estimator, Google roughly estimates the values from sample data and if it's a broad match Google might be linking them together based on the word "pension" or "what is" and "how do i" could be producing the same results.
