    Is anyone else experiencing time outs with the overture keyword tool? It's been really bad for me of late, maybe its getting spammed to death?

    Its up and down ALL the time. I hate that thing. Try wordtracker; its far more reliable, even if their new interface kinda sucks.

    If you have an account on YSM (pre-Panama), then just log in to there and use the "Add Listing" function to see the keyword volumes. It's not as convenient as the tool available to everyone, but it's a lot more reliable.

    i have found it to be an absolute nightmare and I agree that wordtracker displays the same info much more reliably.

    Wordtracker does not provide the same data.

    calling it a nightmare is an understatement.

    If you say so :cool: , it showed the same results as overture for the keywords i was looking at, so I assumed it was the same data (for the UK anyway)

    It happened to me as well. Overture's keyword tool hasn't been very stable lately.
