Almost a Premium?

gou · 11-03-2006, 09:01 PM

I own a singular form of a premium .mobi domain.
When I type the word into overture in its plural form, the results only show the singular form (40,000+).
How exactly does overture work? I know that they don't disregard plurals because I've seen them on certain keywords.

most of the time they combine the singular and plural for a total.. in that case it's best to check wordtracker.. to get a percentage of both to see what's better, if you're not sure of course.

there are exceptions where they show a plural though.. just can't think of any off the top of my head.

if you don't have a word tracker subscription, PM me the name and I'll look it up for you.

A free alternative (less accurate, I would assume) would be to Google both and compare the number of hits.

Another tool for a quick ballbark between singular/plural:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

Overture has a tendency to combine some similar terms as well as combining singular/plural.

Thanks for the link.
Should I be looking at "search volume"?

^ Yes.

Click on the link for search volume to sort by that column if you are looking at a lot of variations. While G doesn't provide the actual search numbers with that tool, it is still handy when combined with overture.

Wordtracker & Overture side by side FREE

both results are beside each other so you can easily compare them

Wordtracker will show the search the way it was typed and Overture usually blends plurals and reverse word combos (free games/games free)

I love this tool. I sit and check on this for hours. Best tool I have.

Wish it would crash so I can get away from these .mobi's

nice tool at digitalpoint... I sure wish overture/yahoo would get their stuff together and give a more accurate and detailed report of searches.
