I still asking myself, are overture tools still ok?

But for me, we must use more than one keyword tools and make a comparison among the data we get…

Hey Andrew,

Indeed … Overture is definitely on its way out. I’ve started getting emails from Keyword Tool makers who relied on Overture in the past telling me that it’s time to give up those tools now.

I have a feeling this may have something to do with the new “relevance” score that Panama takes into account for ranking … and like Google, they want to now hide all the data … rather than reveal it. Then, they can run a mysterious system where your ad rank depends on magical things noone knows about (and they can charge you higher).

FYI, in response to the Yahoo/Overture tool problems, there are now free versions of both WordTracker and KeywordDiscovery. You can also use my free meta keywords scraper that sets up links for further research with 3 keyword tools.
