    No one knows if its accurate, but as what I know, all results was based from the searches/queries made in yahoo.

    Overture is a good tool but the thing here its not yet updated. So its much advisable to use different tools and see the different results

    if you'll compare the results given by Overture it gives more keyword alternative related to the searched query than the other keyword search tools. The only problem with Overture- it's not yet updated so we can't say that it's accurate

    Overture results are corrupted by "automated bots" performing searches to extract some information. WordTracker's results are much better. Check my sig for how I do my keyword research.

    Overture is Yahoo searches...might be totally different from Google searches.

    yes it is but taking a sample from a universal set concludes for the whole...it may be for yahoo but the deviation is so small

    It's okay to get a rough idea of keyword ideas, however with all the automated keyword submission bots out there skewing the system, you can't really use it to establish keyword pop.

    I guess it's not that accurate anymore... but I think it can still be a reference... I use that sometimes... :)
