Yahoo To Build New Keyword Research Tool & Wordtracker Launches Free Tool
There have been recent reports that the Overture Keyword Suggestion Tool has been sporadically offline.
In response to those reports, Yahoo issued a statement telling us that the Overture tool has been getting hit hard by users but will "continue to exist until we replace it with an improved product." The new tool is expected to be released "later this year" and will support an API and be found within the new Yahoo Search Marketing area.
Since we don't have a free tool from Yahoo that is reliable at the moment, Aaron Wall informs us that Wordtracker released a new free keyword tool at http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/. The tool reports keyword suggestions, of up to a 100 related keywords, with search volume data.
