I have an overture account and overture says that they feed MSN, but if I search for my keyword (I'm #1 bidder) I don't see any sponsored links on MSN search results.

Yes, Overture feeds "sponsored" results to MSN. Is your account new? Perhaps it takes a couple of days for your ad to be syndicated on all of Overture's partners?

I also depends on what keyphrase you bid on. MSN does not show all of Overture's keyphrases. Only some of them.

Thanks for your reply. I've heard that before and wondered if it was true. Should I contact Overture to find out if my keywords are ones that MSN does not post?
