Findwhat/Espotting Merger

[Net Wizard]

I just got an email today from findwhat that they are merging with espotting.

We are pleased to inform you directly of today's announcement of FindWhat.com's plan to merge with Espotting, the leading PPC advertising medium in Europe. Together, our two companies create the largest international footprint in the PPC advertising industry!

It's a done deal :)

I'm hoping that others are starting to find ways to compete with the likes of Overture and Google Adwords. I think competition is good for webmasters who want to pay for advertising, because it drives the competitors to offer competitive pricing. Right now Overture and Adwords can pretty much charge whatever they wish.

Minimum bids keep rising on Overture but that is mostly due to costs to "expand" the network. As advertisers using the network you should pay for that or at least partly and that is reflected in the minimum bids.

I thought this was great news :). It will really knock Overture for six. Together FindWhat and ESpotting create a formidable global rival :thumb:. I don't think it will impact the market dominance of AdWords though.

So what happened? I've been watching Find What and they do deserve some success......................
