Grandfathered Overture 1 cent bids

Are there partners that don't show Overture 0.01 bids?

Kanoodle, at one time, made you bid 7 cents if you wanted your bids to show up Metacrawler. I think.

FindWhat had something similar (maybe it was 2 cents) going on.

Are there any partners that don't show Overture bids if they are below a certain threshold? I know that MSN is doing some funky things with whether they include or exclude Overture results, but besides them, are there others?

I'm trying to determine whether it makes sense to increase our hundreds of 1 cent bids to 5 cents, before Overture forces us to at some future date, especially if they already aren't showing up somewhere and we don't know about it.

Tom, I loved "Temptation". Thanks for the terrific music.

Re. bid minimums, we're running tests by changing our bid amounts on Ah-Ha and Overture and testing searches across several search engines. I'll post them when we figure it out - but it seems to be changing as we test...

Just spoke to ah-ha today - bids below 5 cent wont show up on Dogpile. "Most" of the other ah-ha partner sites show all listings, the kind lady said.

I have numerous one cent grandfathered links, and they appear on all the major partner sites. :)
