Oh, yes - very interesting.
As I posted in another thread, overture is listed on t-online now. But not on dino or freenet, yet.

On dino-online.de you see a logo "powered by overture" but i cannot find the overture-results.

Dino and Freenet - not exactly what I'd call major deals.
Freenet is a large access provider, right, but their searchbox is not even on the frontpage.

Nevertheless - Overture is catching up on Espotting in Germany.

heini,
of course the searchbox is on the frontpage!
Click here [freenet.de], and you´ll see it.

OOOPS

I swear they put it back on frontpage after reading here, hehe

[oLeon]

Okay - available!
Type in: "gesundheit" (health) and you´ll see on Freenet [freenet.de] the first Overture.de listing!
It almost cannot be seen that it´s a paid result, just a little link that shows the result comes from overture.

That´s not good. The users could feel mislead, the fact is well that this result is advertising. Now the discussion around pay-listings is back again, because you cannot easily identify this kind of no-regular-result.

The same listings on Dino-online [dino-online.de]. (The results on Freenet come directly from Dino-online.)

What amazes me: Overture listings for english sites! Only thing german is the Overture description. So much for relevance, highly qualified team of editors etc.
Apart from that: Wasn't PPC supposed to be about ROI?

[heini]

Overture listings are up on Dino-online - apparently no more than 2 at the top. They look exactly like regular, Inktomi provided, results, but for the word Overture at the end of the description.

Looks like the implementation is still somewhat faulty - for a top bid that produces 8 overture listings at T-online, on Dino there's none. Problem might be that Dino, as one of the large german directories shows results from the directory first, above Ink results.
