    Ill make a list so its not too much of a mess ;) :

    1) I have a question...Ive used overture, wordtracker and SEOBook's overture-based tool before.

    the SEOBook tool uses about 3 or 4 times the overture volumes to approximate traffic across all engines. This makes sense as yahoo is estimated to be 25-30% or something like that of all searches.

    The DP-Tool seems to display the exact overture number (but divided by 30 so its for a day not a month). It does however seem to show the approximated overture volumes across ALL engines.

    In other words it compares overture's data for only yahoo to wordtracker's approximated data for all engines? Thus if I compare those 2 volumes, I have to do mental arithmetics and multiply the overture data by 3 or 4?


    2) Also I typed in one word lets call it abrakadabra. For wordtracker it showed the results for abrakadabra, for overture (also if I use the overture-tool itself) it shows only results for abraka dabra. I know overture counts plural and singular as one, but does it also split words, which consist of 2 words into 2 words sometimes?

    3) Is the DP-Tool's wordtracker data the exact same data from the word tracker trial version one can use for 2 hours? I used it the other day, but Im a bit confused, because there seem to be some slight differences. For example in the wordtracker trial version there's adult filtering. In the DP-tool it seems to not be there (some terms I got 0 results on the word tracker trial if the word 'butt' was involved for example. The DP-tool-wordtracker data gives me plenty of results for them, though.

    Thanx guys
