Can canyone tell me where on MSN.co.uk are Overture-uk terms listed?
or how do people find: search.msn.co.uk/spbasic.htm ?

BACKGROUND:
I am new to 'Pay for Click' services. Just signed up at Overture (for UK).
My weblogs show the highest referer as search.msn.co.uk/spbasic.htm (which seems to be a frame in a main MSN page.

However, I can't see my search term on search.msn.co.uk
but I can find it on search.msn.co.uk/spbasic.htm.

OK - just got a reply from Overture. It wasn't me being stupid:

"...You are the only client for the term "blah-blah" on Overture UK and unfortunately, we are having a technical problem with terms that are the
only listings on Overture. Our technical department is aware of this and is currently working to resolve the issue. In general, under the current agreement, Overture's top 3 listings will be displayed in the section marked "sponsored sites" directly under MSN's
"featured sites".
Thank you for your understanding!

I'm glad you posted that I was wondering the same, mind you have you seen that ugly banner running along the side of the home page

I wonder how much they paid for that

I can find no way of reaching the page: search.msn.co.uk/spbasic.htm
yet that page is shown as a referer in my logs. If you can't get to that page how can people click on my search terms from that page?

Does anyone know if I am losing money due to an technical problem? (I havn't yet received a clear answer from Overture).

The overture results are showing now, but in the past you accessed them from the shopping page
