    So Overture seems to be down again... it's coming back right?
    There are always unspoken fears that yahoo will do away with this too...
    Anybody have reason to believe this is more serious than a short term outage?

    Google's tool is great but it doesn't give number of searches - just the "bar graph" representation. (or if it does I haven't found it)

    Yeah, I've noticed that it hasn't been giving results for like the past week or so... kind of a bum out, going to miss the bugger...

    And yeah, that's about all that I've been hearing too is that Yahoo is phasing it out...

    Yes, Overture is DOWN. I don't know plan what Yahoo (the owner) has for Overture. I heard, Yahoo will upgrade Overture as new keyword research service.

    Try digital point, I think that is better! you can search for the targeted country and choose the right keywords.

    ugh this is a sad day.
    The overture tool was great because it was consistent.
    You could assign it a specific percentage of overall web searches.

    As cool as the other services are it's impossible to know that type of info - and that makes certain "profitability" calculations difficult.

    :(

    Okay. Overtrue is back so far so good.
    However, I if yahoo upgrades it that would be excellant thing. It is found to be consistant and so it is sad if it goes down frequently.

    I just both for my market/keyword reasearch.

    Since the Overture Tool seems to not have been updated since January 2007, I have to also use Google's Tool to see if the search volume has held up over the past months.
