Glitch in Overture Question

Work In Progress · 02-10-2007, 07:46 AM

During recent research, I found a 2 word phrase I'm contiplating regging that is very commonplace. It is used frequently in media and news and has many questions surrounding it. My dilemma is: Wordtraker has it listed as 2,195/day, but Ovt has no suggestions for...Is this common, or is it a possible glitch?

Wordtracker uses a metacrawler, which searches multiple engines... whereas Overture just uses their own. That's why the results are different... with WT you're getting a larger scope of searches.

Thank you manicgirl for the explaination. It seems to me that this is a tremendous difference though. In the instance stated, wordtracker is showing almost 66,000 a month, while Ovt = 0? Is this possible?

Yes, it is very possible. As I said WordTracker is using many sources for their results, whereas, Overture is only using 1.
