You may be wondering why I recommend WordTracker , which although it has a free trial, is a paid service, when Overture's keyword suggestion tool is free to use. Well, actually, Overture's tool is supposed to only be available to paying advertisers. They may wise up in time and make it impossible to use without an account, but in the meantime, enjoy it. That said, back to my point about recommending Wordtracker in addition to Overture's free service. Overture also extended its fraud protection to further safeguard against fraudulent clicks.
If an advertiser feels they have been a victim of false clicks, they should alert Overture, who will then conduct an investigation. Needless to say, Overture went on to become a very profitable search engine using its business model.
Then, sometime later, Yahoo discovered that its partnership with Overture was responsible for a large chunk of its income, so in , Yahoo decided to purchase Overture, at which time the company was worth well into the billions of dollars.
Yahoo has since rebranded the Overture name to Yahoo Search Marketing, which features the same Overture offerings, but with rebranded names.
The company also created a more centralized system of its search and contextual offerings, as well as also went on to include the Yahoo Travel Submit option, which is a sponsored service where offers and deals for travel can be included in the Yahoo Travel listings.

No one was likely to check position on Overture unless they were bidding, but on other engines, with competitive serps, this isn't true. I assume that position checking software used on any Overture partner messes up the Overture stats. There's always that mom and pop site in Omaha that wants to check all search engines every few minutes to see how it's ranking for "mom and pops tourist widgets in south omaha.
It used to be, when the bid prices were posted on Overture, that you could get a sense of how close some of the bids were and how much skewing there would be. I look for patterns that suggest automation For existng sites, a test run on AdWords, either with exact targeting, or with partial matching and careful log analysis, can give you a better sense of what ads are clicked on This is called "extrapolation," and it's what WordTracker does.
Since it has a small database, and extrapolation can magnify errors quite a bit, I tend to distrust it. There are obvious automated searches in WordTracker data whose numbers have been multiplied. The demographics of all the tools are different as well. Ultimately, you need to use all the tools you can get
