Yep :eek: - http://overture.com/d/search/?mkt=us&type=topbar&Keywords=web+hosting

Crazy, aint it? :rolleyes:

I've seen 14 per click for 'dedicated servers' :)

not bad eh? those companies have a nice marketign budget

Well it's more than crazy, i visited the first 4 links and that took around 25 $ from the advertising sites??? puh :confused:

Hmm, I wonder how OverTure became so profitable :D

But they seem to have tons of customers, even rackshack is paying 15 $ to be listed.

the keywords for casino, and gambling are pretty high too. I didnt have any idea how high "dedicated server" was though, thats utterly rediculous!

I take my hat off to Overture.com [the PPC SE formerly known as Prince ;)]. They have a good business model. They can be extremely cost effective if you can find the right keywords and you gotta love the control you have as to what rank you are listed. Not to mention their syndication deals with most of the SEs around looking for a slice of the Overture pie.

But they are not a search engine. IMO, the only true search engine left is Google. Long live King Google!! :D

Okay, it's time for the truth to be known. How many of you clicked on the first result under Dedicated Servers just for fun? Come on now, be honest. You know you did it.

Hm Dellhost have nice site :dgrin:

*whistles* nah, not me :dgrin:

If we are ever pissed of at a company, how about clicking the same link 1,000,000 times?

I guess it could keep your cookie, but maybe we can make them go bankrupt :rolleyes:

I think they register a session for some time. you can always use some proxy servers and then you can 'eat' their marketing budget and make overture more profitable .)

(1). It will only record your click once every 24hr cycle etc, or something like that anyways.

(2). Even if you could, you would only drain what they had in their account. They have to pay Overture.com upfront and once those funds are depleted, their link is removed from the listings.

You get it, you have a high probility of dieing within 1 year. It's a lung problem that is caused ( i think ) by asbestos.

these first 2 links on overture are lawyers.

I messaged around 50 ICQ contacts to click the DellHost link. They should be out of business now :D :rolleyes:

15.50 x 50= $750. I don't think $750 is going to bankrupt dell :rolleyes:
