Suggested Search Listings for Your Site

[Mike_Mackin]

What percentage of these Overture "Suggested Search Listings for Your Site" are being approved?

[pageoneresults]

Hey Mike_Mackin! I just submitted two separate additions this morning based on those Suggested Search Listing emails. Both were approved (multiple listings) and posted within an hour after I submitted.

In these two cases, 100% were approved.

OK, it's time for me to put something back into WebmasterWorld. I'm writing this post while (re)searching.
[searchenginepayperclick.home.ro...] lists various European PPC. They give searches per month for 3 of them, but no indication of the date of the information:
Espotting 540 million (unsure if just ESP UK or all ESP)
Mirago 20 Million
Turbo10 6 million

[clicksindays.com...] give Alexa ratings (date not specified) for UK PPCSE. (although of course this is junk info at the top as it doesn't include syndication partnerships which drive most of e.g. Espotting's traffic). You could combine it (if you understood how the Alexa rating worked, and I don't) with the ratings for UK SE given on [clicksindays.com...]

[visitracker.com...] gives an example of one of their tracking reports. They don't say whether the data is real or fabricated, or what KW is comes from, but it gives
Overture UK 17
Espotting 5
Mirago 2
They're might be something useful in that ratio if they took their example from real data.

[payperclicksearchengines.home.ro...] gives a list of 17 UK PPCSE
(not including OVER UK or Google ADW!). [payperclicksearchengines.com...] gives Alexa page visits for these engines.

[payperclickanalyst.com...] reviews turbo10 (favourably) and [payperclickanalyst.com...] reviews Splut (neutrally).

And some WebmastwerWorld threads on Mirago PPC (generally positive)

About 80 %.

I don't if it is a coincidence, but the "refused" 20 % had not the suggested terms in the description.

[TomWaits]

I didn't dare submit any of them to OVER. I looked them over and I *know* at least 90% would be denied, they had nothing to do with our sites. Those OVER folks have been laugh riot this year.

[AmericanBulldog]

Just used it last week and had 39 of 39 rejected.

[bigjohnt]

Its a desperate attempt to boost revenues. What do they care if you waste your time submitting according to their automated emails?

I got a kick out of a few of them. They were suggesting that I submit terms that I already have in the account. Not likely.. any tweak or resubmission invites disaster.

[Tropical Island]

Almost all of the suggestions were for very low search terms. If the cost was 5¢ we would consider them but not at 10¢.

[sem4u]

I submitted 1/3 on them and they all were accepted. Had I submitted the other 2/3 these would probably have been rejected.

[Jenstar]

I had a huge list, and I think all but four were approved. There were quite a few which I thought would be denied, because while they were related, they weren't exactly on topic - but most were approved.

The bad part is, I am sure my competitors got a listing of all the obscure terms I use :( And being grandfathered in at 5 cents, all of them would be ahead of me with the 10 cent minimum bid.
