Works like a charm.

I read it on the Warrior Forum. It seems Yahoo is dropping it.

huge difference between "dropping it" and "it's dead".. been rumored long time ago and is scheduled to be decommissioned around Panama timeframe

Something bigger and better will take its place... The standard overture tool was a pain in the ass anyway...

Ovt tool isn't dead. It is just slow and very often timed out. My program to query ovt values still works, but with many more times of retries.

All the other sites online that seem to work is because they retry the submission multiple times. And probably also because they are not in the US or querying from overture.com from a less busy server.

I haven't try it, but if I use proxy to query overture to check ovt, I will probably have a better chance to get result back.

Just to confirm, those who can get ovt values from any other websites, can you please tell me where you are located? Thanks.

I'm using the keyword tool right now. Works slow - but it works.

At times it's just not functional
I have the Japanese IDN Keyword Advice Tool (what they call it in Japanese) my traffic shot from 70 unique users a day to over 250 yesterday just because people are looking for tools that work...
