If you charge clients the pay for inclusion fees charged by Inktomi etc (rather than include them in your fees), do you simply pass these on at cost as disbursements or mark them up?
To those who mark them up, what margin do you add?

We include the fees we currently know about, and a disclaimer that if fees increase or new fees emerge (i.e. Google starts charging) such fees will be billed over and above with client approval.

No markup here either.

most of our clients are well aware of the price, couldnt really get away with it even if we wanted to.

Looks like I'm in synch with everyone else in treating these costs as straight disbursements. Thanks for your various replies.
