For example, my bid term on "fluff fluff fluff Search term", bid at .01 was ignored. and my listing "search term" appeared, at .40. I could not replicate this moments after it appeared, testing must be going on.
Yet another thing to watch.
I like GoTo, I hope they figger this out without costing us too much.

>In order to maintain your competitive advantage in the search results, we take your highest bid on any form of that search term. That way, you maintain your highest position in the search results. You may see a decrease in the number of terms listed in your monthly reports and in DirecTraffic Center. This is because you no longer have to bid on all the variations of the search term. If you’ve bid on a search term that is part of Match Driver, your listing will appear whenever someone searches on a variation of that term.
So, to recap, If your "search term" is subject to Match Driver, and you have bid on that "core term", you will pay the same amount for any lesser permutations of that search phrases that include that "core term."
I just checked a few of my bids for November, and due to the "miracle of Match Driver", terms that were giving me visitors for .01 in November are now producing the same visitors for .40 and above.
