Hi All-

Ok, I'm somewhat of a newbie so don't laugh if this question is so basic I should just turn off my computer and go twiddle my thumbs.

I've read about several references and links to some free keyword tools on Overture. However, it looks like Yahoo must have acquired them and discontinued the tools. Maybe what I read is outdated. Is this right or were the Overture tools moved to a different address?

Thanks for your time!

The Overture keyword "tool" has been randomly dead / alive for over a year now and pretty much useless for much longer!

you can find it at http://inventory.overture.com/d/sear...ry/suggestion/

but don't rely on the over inflated, totally inaccurate "results" you may or may not get from it.

Instead, why not use the Google AdWords external tool?

Yes, now that they've added the counts, it's perfect.
