Yahoo retires “Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool”
Barry reports, that Yahoo! has confirmed of decommissioning “Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool”. The Overture tool has been plagued with issues for a long time, and the page now redirects you to the Yahoo Search Marketing landing page. There are tools you can use within the Yahoo Search Marketing console that you can use instead, but it requires that you login.

I loved the hell out of the overture suggestion tool but I found something better recently (and apparently just in time)--

It's also free and very useful. With both the overture tool and the one I have linked to, I think it is important to get some sort of relative feel or perspective for the stats spit out for each search term. Compare values for search terms you are investigating to one that you have a known feel for.
