OVERTURE results still show January 2007/ Not functional anymore?

[binaryman]

Has Overture stopped working? Results shown are from January 2007 so it seems they dont bother to update anymore. Looks like Overture has ceased being a functional site.

Exactly my problem!
I love overture and it's awesome to research stuff but it's old data
and 11 months is quite a time ..
Maybe we should start a petition
I just dont like wordtracker or keyword discovery .. and they are both not free.

It was nice to have the overture option as well though... Overture displayed March 2007 results for a bit back in April if memory serves me correct. The results seemed about 80% off what the actual stats should have shown, from previous experience with the tested terms. Haven't seen anything since then.

Yah, unfortunately this is old news and a darn right shame.

It really is a shame that this is ancient data. Some trends are timeless though so the old data is still useful. There are other free and paid services for this kind of info. Also check out adwords.google.com. Unfortunately it only gives relative indications of search volume as opposed to the numbers in ovt. It also has good information on search trends and advertiser competition.

I would recomend as well adwords. I am sorry to say that keyworddiscovery is not a good service, more misleading then other. I honestly think their data are not accurate at all...

Microsoft has a very nice free tool found here:

This tool not only gives an exact number estimate like Overture and Keyword Discovery, but also give you a graphic chart throughout the year and their estimate for the last few months, which you can use at your own discretion.
