There is no "cost for advertiser = 17,99$" anymore, :bawling: it only shows sponsored link, or am i missing something?

It used to be interesting to see how much particular company was spending/per vistior.

Yep, they changed that a couple of weeks ago, and put a security code screen into the "get current bid" function -- both intended to block "unapproved" third-party bid management software.

Heh. Good move for them. I used to be right in the PPC scene. I started writing an ebook on getting the most out of the PPCs, but lost interest. I think the domain for that was PayPerClickOptimization.com. [how's that for a keyword rich domain? ;)]

There were a lot of third party auto-bidding apps out there that were IMO taking money from Overture etc. I think they provide their own bidding management software. Not sure. It's been a good 12mths since I've used them. A LOT changes in 12mths. :D
