I am still very new to Overture but have found that the hits on very targetted keywords are not quite what I would have expected.

Plus when moving into the UK overture compared to the US the hits drop dramatically.

We are premium in all our keywords.

Does anyone have any comments or thoughts on this?

Have you tried the Overture Keyword suggestion tool?

Overture US
[inventory.overture.com...]

Overture UK
[inventory.uk.overture.com...]

It can help you in finding the most searched keywords to target on ( of course compared to your business ).

Yes I have wolfy, and I find the drop of in hits from the US to the UK version to be a lot. I really am having a hard time understanding it.

The UK is a big internet users and in our keywords should be equal to if not more than the US counterparts.

I had good conversions with Espotting regarding UK market, have you tried it?

Well you should consider the fact that in the United States there more searches than in UK and that the web sites that are powered by Overture US has a lot of searches than the one powered by Overture UK.

UK is a much SMALLER provider of traffic than the USA.

I have spent a lot of money on PPC over the last 18mths, and the UK works out about 10-15% of USA.

Good luck.
