It's fairly accurate for things that don't go out of style. One major issue that all SEOs should be aware of is that the Keyword Planner will also detect searches from bots.

Let's say you have a "product x review" keyword for a product that came out 3 years ago. You get a MS from Keyword planner of 1,000 even though nobody wants that product anymore. Since people are scraping for that 3 year old buying keyword and a bunch of SEOs are tracking their serps for it, it'll show up as a search to google.

Bottom line is this: None of the data is exact. Use your common sense and make sure that the keyword has current value, not value from a few years ago.

The more money you spend on Adwords the more accurate they make it. Before oyou have any spend it is absolute SHIT. Broad estimates of volumes, incorrect bid prices and terriblke competition metrics
Then spend a grand a month with them and that corrects itself - fills in the gaps.

Do the Adwords certification and even better become an Google Adwords Partner and whooppee do - suddenly the reports you pull off are quite different.
I wonder if there is a term for giving paying customers bad information so that they make poor advertising choices until they give you a lot more money?
Oh yes.. "criminal". that's the word I'm looking for... "criminal"
