| NamePros Founder Administrator | OVT is commonly abbreviated. It is referring to the Keyword Selector tool at Overture http://inventory.overture.com/d/sear...ry/suggestion/ OVT = Overture, or the number of searches made for a term or domain in a month. OVT w/ EXT = Overture with Extension: the number of searches made for the full domain name including extension. For instance, example.com has a OVT w/ EXT of 7163. OVT w/o EXT = Overture without Extension: the Overture number for the term contained within the domain, but without the extension. For instance, example.com OVT w/o EXT is 62344 (just check resutls for 'example') |
