The Google AdWords Keyword Tool is very, very useful as well. The Overture Tool was getting unusable lately anyway. In regards to WordTracker, it is affordable if you have to have that kind of data.

[...] The Death of Overture I for one have relied on this tool, so what does this mean for all of us as it relates to value on keywords, and domain prices? The Death of Overture Tuesday, January 9th, 2007 Yahoo’s new search marketing platform will eliminate Overture as a domainer’s tool. “Overture” is a well-known term to domainers. Yahoo (NASDAQ: YHOO) purchased Overture, a pay-per-click search marketing company, and renamed it Yahoo! Search Marketing. But the moniker “overture” has stayed in the domainer lingo. More specifically, the domain industry refers to the “Overture Score” of a domain as the number of times the domain was searched for on Yahoo properties in any given month. For example, if a domain had an “Overture plus extension” score of 100, then 100 people typed the domain name with the extension (e.g. domain.com) into a Yahoo-related search box during the month. The theory is that if that many people mistakenly typed the domain into a search box then many more people managed to type the domain into the browser. Thus, the domain gets a lot of type-in traffic. Although an unwilling participant, Yahoo has helped bid up the value of domain names by providing third party data about type-ins. For example, the typo expired domain Voyuer.com sold for $112,100 in 2005 thanks in part to its 2,549 Overture+Ext score. But the gravy train of valuable data is coming to an end. Late last year Yahoo released its long-awaited “Panama” update for search marketing. It is a completely overhauled search marketing system. Among the changes is removing specific data about the number of searches a particular keyword receives. Instead, advertisers only see a bar graph with one to five units indicating the amount of traffic.

If I recall correctly it's from a much smaller data sample. Mike, although many people rave about WordTracker, it does cost money…which Overture didn’t :)
