However, and I am sorry to bring the bad news but OVT is dead. There's no such thing as "the number of overture searches the term had last month". "Last month" is May/2007, I think. Also you are giving away the full source code... Thanks for the tool. However, and I am sorry to bring the bad news but OVT is dead.

I'm sorry, but that isn't even close to being believable, and not all is being told. I have clicked on several links throughout page one. Sometimes on page two. And so have you! I have asked a lot of people if they stopped after clicking on the first one. The answer, every single time was "no." Look at all the porn sites out there. You think all those guys are going to stop at the first link and not click on the others? Nope. How 'bout all those "funny news" and "funny pcitures" sites? Nope. What about singles looking for dating and sex advice? Not even close. And how 'bout during the holidays, and fathers and mothers day? You think many of those shoppers are going to click on JUST one link? Sorry, but those figures aren't right. Not even close. So there is much more to that "research" than meets the eye.
