Automated Bid Price Data

[ShaneRbn21]

Does anyone know if there is anyway to automate logging into the overture bid price tool or some other site or 3rd party tool or code/application etc. that will help in collecting data of current bids on overture search listings.

Basically I want to ensure my results pages are showing the best bids for a group of relevant terms.

I have a list of keywords category by category and would like my system to collect the data of the bids for each keyword in the list and then display the highest page value for the phrase, obviously the phrases are all very close but the difference can be quite dramatic, ie

credit card £1.40, best credit card £1.85 etc.. highly relevant and either term will give the user what they desire but a 30% uplift in profit for me, the next day it could be the reverse scenario hence the need for bid price checking.

The system is already built and works fine with miva but the need to login to overture manually is holding us up from nailing the max profit on overture.

Any help gratefully recieved as my programmer is going blind looking for a way to get overture bid prices in this automated way.

thanks...

Overture's API is not open to the public, and only 3rd party providers that have license agreements w/ YSM, can directly access the backend.

If you were willing to pay a substantial amount each month to justify the custom programming resources on the 3rd party provider's end, they might be willing to create a pass through for you, to pull/send the keyword/bid data.

Overture seem to have their head in the sand on so many areas, they are a very inflexible and dated in their outlook.

It's as though they go out of their way to make it hard to spend and earn money with them on purpose.

Does anyone know of any 3rd party that may be able to offer us a solution? a point in the right direction would be most appreciated
