Overture Editing times

Are they ever going to change this?

I was wondering if anyone knows if Overture is ever going to allow immediate changes to a listing like Google does? Or are they always going to take 3-5 days before approving your changes?

Thanks

Even a small change to the destination URL requires a days wait.

I was wondering the same. They have not improved in this area in years.

yes I agree it's very annoying but unlikely they are going to change it

I submitted 57 new terms, and 40ish listing changes yesterday, 35 new listings were approved within an hour, and all of the listing changes were done within 3 hours.

I've seen a huge change in Overture turn around times for listing changes in the past couple months. It's the customer service when you have questions that seems to take forever...

ewisper,

Your very lucky! I submitted changes to 2 keywords on Sunday and I have still not gotten approval. All I was changing was the price!

I have never had a quick turnaround time and I have not noticed any customer service improvement

Guess I'll consider myself lucky, the rest of the changes I submitted yesterday have already gone through. Now the questions I submitted to Overture last week, I'm still waiting on - and the investigation team (which should be a open and shut case in this matter IMO) has been working on the same issues for 5 weeks now...I've always found listings to be quick, and anything that takes the slightest bit of thought to take forever...
