Hi Guys ... Nice place you have going here... I should be doing some real work but have found myself glued to this forum for the past hour or so... Anyway...

If you pay for a top spot on overture I assume that you also get a top spot on MSN... Do you still get charged for the click through on MSN??

TIA

Welcome to the forums jab-tech! :hi:

If your bid on Overture is .15 or above per click you will be on MSN as well. Oh yes, all bids with Overture are charged for clicks no matter where they are located.

The .15 is what I understand what is happening. You overture people can correct if necessary.

You get charged for whatever your Overture bid price is if your Overture listing is shown on MSN.

If you're talking about a LS 15cent charge, I don't believe they've hijaked those listings (yet), although I surely wouldn't put it past them. For now, there doesn't appear to be a LS tracking URL on the Overture listings, however. I think they'd get into a lot of trouble if they attempted to do that one.

What I heard is that the Overture listing will not appear in MSN if the bid is less than .15.

We have a couple of overture keywords that are above .15 but no MSN listing. My understanding is that MSN looks at the amount of traffic for the particular keword/phrase and makes its decision from there as to whether to include the overture result or not.

But MSN only lists the top 3 Overture listings, don't they? If you're number 4 on down, you will not be listed on MSN via Overture. Correct me if I'm wrong, but this has been my understanding.

oh, thanks Jill. I hadn't realized that.
