Espotting is now present in Spain
es.espotting.com/ [es.espotting.com]

First partner is of course Yahoo. On a quick glance anyhow I didn't see paid listings - anyone?

I just made 10 searches on es.espotting.com with keywords that usually have high bids but I couldn't find any paid listings. Looks like there is an short term first mover advantage here :)

"Looks like there is an short term first mover advantage here "

Espotting seem to think the same - this is from an email they sent me as an advertiser:

Wonder if they'll do the same in Italy later this year?

Neat. Do they have a spanish keyword tool? And if so, is it publically available?

Well, can't say I'm impressed!

Searched well worn keyword groups and came up with next to 0 results and the next to were :

Registre su sitio aqui (LOL)
+
1 site offering cultural info about Africa

The same search in G****e gives 4,610 results (just happens my ex-client is Nº1 [man, I was good then :) ]).......

and in Spanish, I get 52 results (my clients sell to Brits and Germans....so nothing much here [yet]) :)

Results from Inktomi it says......

Typical chicken and egg perhaps. I'm not sure what this is worth, now I have searched and found little result I doubt if I'll go back (as a searcher..) And as a web promoter..... until they get some results I have less than 0 interest 'cos maybe the searchers won't use it and it seems expensive enough just to enter and then you are only as good as you have paid..... I'M SORRY......
No mola....
Has anyone found or seen 'off-web' promotion, or even on web promotion.¿¿¿

Maybe that's the place to promote.. LOL

Back to your question, the short answer :)

>On a quick glance anyhow I didn't see paid listings - anyone?

The thing is I can't seem to find any Espotting on Yahoo.

I certainly wonder if the market is ready for PPC in Spain. Undoubtedly it's a clever move to go there, before things get rolling. If you have the reserve, that is.

Apparently Espotting is willing to make it easy for customers to sign up. It sure is a bargain right now...

Espotting has to do something very quick, I suppose, after losing one of their two major partners:
