hello,
what is overture exactly and how can it be used to evaluate a domain name's worthiness ? I've read about it everywhere here but couldn't still catch the real significance of it

thanks!

In other words if the word "search" has a US overture of 1418949, that means that app. 1418949 times the word has been typed in, in the US, and the term "Search.Com" has an ovt. 22912 of search.com that means that app. 22912 times the word has been typed in.

I have several good keyword domains, but the plural form never shows in OT -- anyone know why? E.g.: Check for 'creditors'. Thanks!
