Has anybody ever seen anything like that. I know it is in spanish but how would that many words be typed into OV 170 times.

Overture's suggestion tool for Spanish is terrible. When we made our Spanish site, I thought it'd be easy (since my spanish is really rusty), to select OV keywords through their interface.

Instead, words like 'red widget' weren't there, it would be things like: widget good tree bad.

Only 2 of our 100+ KWs had Spanish equilivants in the suggestion tool - yet when we just translated our KWs into Spanish, we got a lot more hits than OV suggestion tool would have realized.

Another thing we found, because the OV suggestion tool is so bad for Spanish, we had to discontinue most broad matching options, and several phrase ones, as Gs broadmatch looks focused compared to OVs.
