April Ovt w/Ext Messed Up?

[Rarethings]

Has anyone noticed that many ovt names w/ext that should be going up (have shown exponential increases) are showing large decrease margins from last month (and the months before). Is Overture refining its april results, or is this data really correct?

I see no problems myself.

overture no longer has msn on board, they split -- last month... so of course there is a major noticeble decline all across.

I noticed a HUGE drop when looking for typos using STypo almost to the point where the product may not be useful anymore as the data from Overture have been greatly reduced.

At first I thought I had some bad proxies which were banned by Overture but upon further investigation it looks like it is April data.

Yes I noticed too and was afraid but now it makes sense.

Thanks for the info

Well, that explains it.

I am noticing more refinement in the searches now (maybe OVT used estimation software to fill in empty gaps??).

It seems like the data is stabilizing now.

MSN already has something similar.. MSN Adcenter.. Its in beta.. Im a member.. I have a couple (like 10) invites I believe.

^. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't adcenter just a PPC service (think adsense?).

Do they also give tools to analyze keywords?

I dont believe adcenter is like adsense.. more like adwords.

I haven't logged into the account in about a month.. But they have one of the best tools for keywords.

I meant adwords.. Ah the effects of no sleep on a domainer....

Please do elaborate on their keyword tool. Perhaps a link.. Or do you need to sign in to use it?
