OVT chinese now displaying greatly reduced figures

[gammascalper]

For August I received an OVT of 1490049 for 小游戏

For September I receive an OVT of 2865 for the same term

Is the OVT broken or was it broken before?!

I don't seem to be getting anything at all on mine.

Overture CN was never announced and was only running in Beta. Even with the main Overture tool things can be quirky. It not unusual to get a new month only it to revert back several days later. Not sure what is going on, but I think that the higher figures are more in line with what we are getting from Japan.

You could try converting the characters to Traditional using:

and then using the Taiwanese version:

It appear to me that they may be upgrading from the Beta version to a fully operational version:

When typing in:

http://inventory.cn.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

the tool then converts to:

http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/?mkt=cn

which is it wasn't before and this is more in line with the operational TW version,

but on search it then goes back to doing what it was doing before, i.e.

http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/

but the results are not there!

My guess is it will sort itself out shortly!

Thanks - the cynic in me thinks they forgot to distribute the list of top searches to their mates before releasing the tool!
