MSN Netherlands: Sponsored Results?

[avmgeo]

Interesting stats. As regards msn, anobody knows who is providing sponsored sites in MSN.nl?

I checked the European Search Engine Chart but I can't find anybody in the Netherlands PPC.

On the top of my head I'd say it is Overture. Have to check for sure though..

Direct sales I've been told when I asked.
Not sure if this is the whole truth and nothing but.. etc.

[avmgeo]

For sure it is not Overture. I double-checked with them...

>not Overture

Right. Seems like it's in-house sales. Let's see if our resident MSN sposored sites expert is around..

those listings were/are sold by MSN (EMEA Agency Sales) who were last HQd in London if I remember correctly.

UK MSN featured listings are being passed over to Overture, not sure what will happen to the others.

Hi All,

I know that the following sources power MSN.nl

*Looksmart (sponsored results, through the Looksmart UK office)

* Inktomi

* ODP

MSN.nl and overture are busy preparing their cooperation on msn.nl (and msn.be) but i'm unsure when that will rollout.
