Question Strange Results from Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool.

I have been using the Overture Search Term Suggestion Tool (see URL )
to try to come up with good keywords to base a web site on. Its a great tool.

Most of the results seem sensible but a couple of results really make me scratch my head. In particular, the number of searchs done on Overture for the term 'best clicks' or 'best click' through October 2003 is meant to have been 98360. On the other hand, the number of searchs done on the term 'best links' or 'best link' is only meant to have been 185.

Why would people be searching on the term 'best clicks' ? Does this term have some special meaning to people in US, Canada or Europe that I (in Australia) don't know about. ?

Why would so few people have searched for 'best links'.

Alternatively, is this indicative of a problem with this tool? I notice that the singular and plural of most words are treated as the same word (whereas in other search engines such as Google they are treated as different words). Is there some funny here where Overture has treated 'best clicks' as the same as some other term?

Do other people here have much experience with this tool?

Thanks for your help on this

I've noticed alot of odd ball things with overture, if you have an account and you do the keyword tool and it shows the est clicks, cpc and total cost that month, often it varies in total results searched.. i find word tracker is very nice, it isnt very expensive but it yeilds out more suggestions and more qualified IMHO.

btw, welcome to the board.
