I got an email saying they had changed the look of the ads on Lycos. I am not very pleased with it.

It looks like lycos has decided to try a new approach to their sponsored ads. They are doing both the OV/MSN looking sponsored listings above the regular listings and the tiny box on the left side like the google type listings. The thing is that it looks like a mishmash of their own sponsored listings and overture's. OV's comes first followed by adbuyer ads. But both OV and adbuyer ads appear in the OV/MSN looking space with overflow to the side.

And why they are doing this while still using overture is beyond me. Since I have listings on both, I now appear twice in nearly the same spot. I almost think I should ditch the lycos ads so that I don't pay for clicks twice.

Anybody else have any thoughts on this.

BTW, I meant right side, not left. Brain is fried today.
