I’m sad that all the great free tools out there are fading away. I know for me SEO and SEM is incredibly difficult because of lack of resources for tools and PR. Lets face it, organic SEO is impossible without quality inbound links, and if you don’t have the resources to generate those links, you don’t have much. At least with the free tools those of in this boat could make some progress, but if we have to ask for a budget for the tools, its not going to happen.

So, farewell Overture, you were a good friend. I hope others like you don’t meet the same fate.
