Well, O is about to get another chance from me. Used O for a while.

Pros: They'll talk to any advertiser for 1/2 hour and more about their campaigns.

Cons: Picky, picky, picky

Of course, I won't leave AdWords, just wasn't comfortable having the proverbial "too many eggs in one basket".

This isn't a big deal to me. I never understood why Disney bought the search engine from Infoseek in the first place if they were going to run away at the first sign of trouble.

The bigger question is, will Disney be able to survive with all the problems on their own door step?

Does anyone actually use Go.com anymore?

I bet the search share breakout for go.com is probably below 1%. I could understand the newsworthiness of something like Ask.com or AOL switching providers, but go just doesn't seem like that big of a deal.

Just checked my biggest account, and go.com has provided 0.1% of AdWords clicks since the beginning of the year. Trivial. And go.com has provided less than 0.02% of total clicks to my two biggest websites.
