As far as where an Overture forum is... There used to be one. It was appropriately renamed to "Yahoo SM (formerly Overture)" and then it was moved or merged somewhere, but I can't find it either. You might want to monitor this thread, http://forums.seochat.com/t44649/s.html and find out where it ended up. | It did occur to me that my title and description as it showed up might be out of kilter with rhe search keyphrase but I have checked and no it seems fine.
I also wondered was this a very recent listing that just appeared but it is now over 24 hours since I discovered my supposedly desirable status and no response.
It wouldn't be the first time I have used the procedure of sifting through Overture's keyphrase results in order to target a worthwhile keyphrase and have had a success or three.So I am miffed that this phrase which as I said gets about a 100 results (a month I think it is and not counting related phrases) brings me no joy when my site is already positioned to take advantage of its position.
I have heard people say that the Overture keyword tool can be unreliable though -although it has worked for me before- and that the number can be inflated.
So it remains a mystery so far.
I know I am not making a typing error as I just copy and paste from Overture into the Search Engines to see where I come up.
BTW I am also surprised that this term should get me #2 in Google UK and as good as useless in Google.com
