Yahoo Keyword Selector Tool Down?

[smartfinds]

Does anyone know why the Yahoo Keyword Selector Tool is not working? It is continually timing out, inconsistent for a couple of months it seems and there have been some rumblings that it might be going away? Anyone have any information about this?

Hello Everyone,

I basically found out that Yahoo is taking the Keyword Research tool at this URL down. Below is a response from Yahoo Search Marketing group.

They have some information about upgrading accounts to access the new keyword research tool within your account. I think this may easily wipe out quite a number of applications that were providing keyword research too.

Hello Melih,

The Keyword Selector Tool is no longer a valid research tool since it
gives information about bit to position statistics. Once you have
upgraded your account you will have a Keyword Research Tool available for
you to use. We apologize for any inconvenience that this has caused.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if we can be of any further
assistance.

Sincerely,

I wouldn't use Overture because its not accurate. I recommend using Wordtracker or SEO Book's keyword tool.
