I hope you don't mind me chiming into this thread but as I am a newbie to the domain space I apologise for the noob questions I am about to ask

I presume the Overture data was scraped for the domain.dom, and used as a measure for approximate searches within the Yahoo network. If i am right on the above, I also presume it was used as a gauge (with a multipler) to estimate monthly / annual volumes of traffic without any extra work - IE Type Ins.

Am I correct ?

If so, from my experience in the search industry, there are other ways of estimating traffic, both actual and potential. Is there room in the domaining marketplace for this kind of information, and if so would you pay for it (as there is a real cost in compiling the information and I am not as kind as Yahoo ) ?

Thanks

Jason
