SEO Tool Update: inventory.overture.com Gone

Because Yahoo officially dropped the inventory.overture.com tool, I've stopped linking to it from this SEO tool for keyword research. That SEO tool still sets up links for further research using the free versions of these SEO tools: Wordtracker + Keyword Discovery. Consider this output:

SEO Tool Output

Notice the keyword phrase overture suggestion tool used in both the meta description and meta keywords tags. With the Overture suggestion tool now gone, Keyword Discovery will need to position itself to compete with Google's upgraded keyword tool.

So, what is Yahoo doing now with all of that inventory.overture.com traffic? Let's see:

inventory.overture.com redirect

First, they redirect inventory.overture.com to a searchmarketing.yahoo.com URL.

searchmarketing.yahoo.com redirect

Then, they redirect to a sem.smallbusiness.yahoo.com URL. Eventually, that URL will likely redirect to either adwords.google.com or adcenter.microsoft.com, depending upon this outcome. ;-)

I thought this tool has been dead long time ago, never thought that it might actually be alive. Anyway now i'm using the too from seobook, it's the greatest one so far I think. Do you know any other tool we can use?
