Well, the best news I’ve heard all week – IT’S BACK! Hopefully for good, this time! Now excuse me, I’m off to get researching…

Have heard today that the tool is gone for good – Strange that there’s been no official comment from Yahoo about this yet.

Now what am I supposed to do – every other keyword tool I’ve found has been far too US-centric – We need a decent UK one!

I did realize how much I used the overture tool until the thing went down! It is good to hear it will be back up!

Hi Paul,

That’s excellent news – I do hope they can get it back up soon, as I’ve been forced to sit out in the sun in the garden with a book this afternoon, rather than slave in front of my pc doing keyword research – The hardship I tells ya!

I’m sure they will bring it “in-house”, or at least brand it before too long – Perhaps they’ve just pulled it down for a day or two to see how much people miss it, and therefore how valuable it is to them, or I could just be a cynic

Glad to hear it will be back up. We just spent a lot of time building a new project this week and only got to use the tool for a few hours before it went belly up! Not fun at all.. I am looking forward to a more permanent and accurate solution, even if it takes a bit more effort to use.

Hey John,

Nothing to worry about. I was on the phone to Yahoo earlier today and it’s just some kind of technical problem they are having. They said they haven’t pulled the plug just yet and it’ll be up asap. I do wonder how long this will last as an external tool though before they move it or create something different within Panama itself.

Cheers
Paul
