This is a great tool to know about, if Overture ever comes back ~ thanks! But it wouldn't work for typos, I don't think, since Overture lumps searches for typos and plurals in with the singular form of the search term. The typos would all show 0 searches (I just tried it and, sure nuff, all the typos had 0s).
That's exactly what I was hoping to avoid!
You may be interested to know that I'm working on a tool somewhat suited for your purpose:
Bulk tool for checking the OVT with extension and search popularity for the term. This will include typos.
Here's a sample output from the current prototype version:
domain keyword OVTw/ext OVTterm/month WT/day
caars.com caars 252 269 14
yhoo.com yhoo 12380 42818 173
All keyword tools are just as reliable as the data that is available to them. Overture data is inherently unreliable and Wordtracker data, although better, is not perfect either. Therefore any keyword tool results are only roughly indicative and do not guarantee traffic.
I'll set it up for public use pretty soon, I may make some changes first. I'd be interested to know your opinion, which would be more useful:
1) input 100 domains, script will find those with OVT w/ext and display only those, along with keyword data for OVT and WT
2) input 100 domains, script will display OVT w/ext, OVT, WT, for all domains, including those without OVTw/ext
Thanks-
