I know OV means Overture value but how exactly is it arrived at?

Sorry for the newbie question :???:
 
good description JeeWhizz

OV is the Glasses Guide of Domainers

Without it you would often be buying domains in the dark. It's not always accurate tho' - I've bought domains with high ov (and that have stayed high - so can't have been deliberately manipulated) that have never really produced the expected return. On the whole it gives a good indicator and if you're buying a domain for £6 more often than not you'll get your £6 back and more :) if the OV is right.

An OV domain is one where you get a score on there. Type house.co.uk in there - basically, its a count for people who type the domain into their browser, and it actually does a search via Yahoo & MSN - that's my take on it :) Anyone else?

The OV is the amount of people over the month that have typed domain.co.uk into the Yahoo search engine.
