Protecting commercial information. If Yahoo give information about their search volume then competitors can make inferences about their business 2. Privacy. Their may be an issue about saying what people are searching for. This kind of data can be obtained from providers such as hitwise but this costs $$$$ or ££££££ I can think of 2 reasons why this might have happened

We spent years over here at Advoca using that thing as a touchstone for figuring out best practices for different keyword sets. Relative rankings for keywords just don't cut it when you are doing precision seo work and you need to know if web design is more popular than web development and the relative engines just call them both "average". Someone please call out if a precision oriented and reliable keyword results tool rears onto the scene...for now we'll have to make due with the UK version of the Overture Keyword Assistant, located here and still operational: http://inventory.uk.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ Boy,
