Anybody tried AV Trusted Feed program?

and is AltaVista now quite alive for 500+ pages inclusion?

Is this really a PPC program?
Is there a min amount per month?
Will my listings receive an additional click in comparison with Express Inclusion program?
Thank you

Yep - it's a PPC program.

We checked it out over a year ago. The numbers are a little fuzzy but it was something like .75 per URL for inclusion each month and then around $0.25-$0.65/click. It takes a minimum of 500 URLs. They may let you aggregate a few sites to reach 500 URLs.

Monthly minimum spend was around $2500.00 I think. Seems like it would be tough for AV to deliver enough traffic to hit that minimum in some kw areas at $0.25/click.

Ink was much cheaper at $0.25/click and lower.

Thank you for reply!
So - there's no guarantee that AV will generate the number of searches that will be enough for reaching minimum spent limit?

But I think that though it is a loser in portal wars (is it in Top50 now?), it is still quite strong player as a search service. Is there any statistic for its share in general number of search queries (the last info for Google was 55-60%, as I remember)?

Has anyone else had experience with AltaVista Trusted Feed?

Did the clicks take you past the minimum monthly spend?
