Either that or you have been penalised for something. It could of course be something as minor as you dont have the content to get listings etc.
DO you have listings in any other SE's?
It's not a direct saving from where i sit. "Paid listings" such as PPC, premium, etc. are generally displayed on the part of the page that is most likely to attract people primed to buy. "Natural listings" as you put it, are placed in the part of the page most attractive to "information seekers". And of course with Overture you get placed on some sites (such as AV etc) where a Google placement counts for nothing, though of course with a placement in Google you will get in places that your ov listing will not get you seen.
There is no direct correlation between the value and cost of a click on PPC with the value of a position in the Google index just for these reasons from the analyses we run. I suspect you will have to continue paying OV (or Adwords) to get similar ROI.
I'd appreciate any spam reports of pages with hidden text or hidden links over the next couple weeks. If you've already submitted a report on a page, you don't need to re-submit it though
GG does that mean that you are about to crack this spamming technique - you will have the eternal sympathy of many of WW members!;)

Amazing how well this spam has helped them in rankings with Google, AV, Inktomi, etc...
To spam, or not to spam: that is the question
