As many of you are by now aware, Overture’s “keyword suggestion tool” has gone dead this week after about a month of sporadic behavior.

She is found for over 12,000 keywords related to Anguilla and has one of the “Big 4″ sites about Anguilla. The site receives thousands of visitors per day and has the highest Alexa traffic ranking of any Anguilla-related site.
