Overture Finally Dead & Buried

Johnp · 28-06-2008, 08:31:04 PM

Dear All

It is with regret I have to announce that it looks like OVT is finally dead and buried, for months it has not updated, responded v. slowly etc. now it responds instantly with a redirect to Yahoo marketing page. Tools such a DRT don't work either & they don't have cached UK inventory data !

Oh well - was good whilst the data was there - any suggestions welcome for.
alternatives ?

Best Regards

I was just wondering why they just let the overture gone. I'm not using it that
much but it was of help specially to those new at SEO world.

Google, MSN & Yahoo - the big 3

"All search terms are collected from the major metacrawlers - Dogpile and Metacrawler."

I don't think any of the big 3 give them data directly. That's not say that Wordtracker isn't any good - it is - as part of a set of tools.
