Free Alternative to Overture ** Production Release **

[BidNo]

Vurr.com is a free alternative to Overture and equivalent tools. Search data is from 48.6 million searches by 657,426 distinct users and comprises 97 million keywords. Data was collected by AOL on a random sample of US users from March 1, 2006 through May 31, 2006. In the interest of privacy, search information is only available in aggregate and numeric queries dropped.

Differences from Overture:

Overture results based on larger set of Yahoo search data for prior month
Vurr based on smaller sample of static search data described above

Benefits:

Much faster response than Overture
Results not normalized e.g. car insurance and auto insurance are not merged
Typos and misspells are perserved allowing comparision to base word
Word order is retained in the query
Plurals and punctuation are retained for the query
Search frequencies are NOT subject to manipulation

------------
This site is completely gratis and a give back to the domain community. My thanks to DNForum members who's suggestions made this a better tool. Additional feedback alway welcome. And, if you're a geek, please do ogle the search time which is 1-2 seconds on ~100 million records.

Cheers,
BidNo

Very nice tool. I like the fact that the data is raw and contains typo data, etc. it is helpful in finding patterns....
