If edit 5 cent site does it go up to 10 cents?

[1Lit.com]

My question is this: if I edit the URL of a site which has gone up from 1 cent to 5 cents, does it instantly go up to 10 cents as that is the new minumum bid now?

That's the way I interpret the changes, but I just want to make sure. Spent an hour checking Overture's FAQ, but it doesn't address my query. 10 cents is unaffordable for me.

Reading what they sent me, I assume that any editing at all would raise the bid to 10 cents.

Thank you for your reply.

Just got an answer back from Overture USA. Will post it here in case it helps anyone else:
"We appreciate your concern with regard to your account. When making changes to the URL and not the bid amount the only changes will apply to the URL. You are correct, the bid amount will remain 5 cents."

Thanks, that's good info. So we can edit the listings as we see fit, and the bid changes won't kick in until we actually edit the bid amount... I may toss a few more dollars in my old account if I can change the URLs.

Glad to help.

Warning! Warning! Don't delete your 5 cent listings. What I did was delete 1 cent listings which had gone up to 5 cents and were not earning me much money.

As a test, I edited the description of one of my 5 cent listings. After being accepted by Overture I logged in today and it is still 5 cents!

I can't believe Overture had us believe that if descriptions were edited they would go up to 10 cents; otherwise I would not have deleted most of my 5 cent bids with poor descriptions. Maybe Overture haven't got around to implementing the changes, but for the meanwhile you *might* be able to even edit the descriptions of listings under 10 cents and they'll remain at that amount.

Instead of deleting 5 cent bids why not make the descriptions 'tighter' so that more shoppers visit your site rather than those just surfing for fun?

I think you nailed it right on the head - they want folks to delete those listings....

Good advice!
