Overture and Yahoo

[SanDiego]

Quick question for anyone who knows...

When you do a check on overture to see how many hits a KW gets, is it based soley on Yahoo or a combo of other sites? The tool I am referring to is here:
inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

That would be the whole overture network, 95% sure of that. Would have to look at old notes to make sure, but I'm sure someone else will confirm.

Yes, you are correct Ken - The data mined for the overture tool encompases all sources of kw type in traffic that the overture network serves.

Highly inflated imo but still a good metric to start with

Can you/anyone suggest something better to gage KW traffic per engine? (beside DP's Overture and wordtracker tool)...

San Diego - when you said DP's tool, were you referring to this one?

It shows Google and Overture separately. Other than that, I think WordTracker is the most reliable one I know of.

Good luck,

Yes,thats the tool I was referring to...
It shows Wordtracker and Overture seperately for me... I dont see google there.

Sorry, I mis-typed. I meant Wordtracker....

Does anyone know of something like that for Google besides guessing in "Adwords"
