Should one trust Overture Search Term Suggestion tool?
Should one really believe Overture Search Term Suggestion tool? Its suggestions are not very logical sometimes.
Try looking for suggestions for "Puzzle", The first thing that comes is "game and puzzle". This is not very logical really. Trying with Google Adwords Search Term Suggestion, the term "game and puzzle" doesn't appear at all.

Does overture collect its keywords from terms searched for on Yahoo? or just on Overture itself?

Looks like its working ok to me... when i search for puzzle that term comes out on top and what is probably a search for "games and puzzles" is a few places down.

Thanks for the reply.
I am sorry. i actually tried searching for "puzzle games".
The term game and puzzle comes up as number 1. The term puzzle games doesn't appear at all! This is pretty weird, since trying Google Adwords search term suggestion tool, the term "game and puzzle" doesn't appear at all, whilst "puzzle games" appear in many variations.

Why would there be such a difference?

You could try your phrase at Wordtracker as well and see what comes up.
