Overture Site Match

[DaveM]

Has anyone successfully signed up their OP site with Overture Site Match? I have a site expiring at the end of the month with AltaVista and was curious as to whether to even attempt to sign up?


Thanks in advance.

Overture is being really stingy with who they're letting advertise these days. On two different occassions, they told me they couldn't list my site but then I see other people promoting narcotics. Maybe I should wait until my budget is big enough...

I've always had much better results through natural SEO. PPC is good but at this point, only the OP will be able to turn a profit. CPC rates are just too high and conversion rates are getting lower and lower!


Us marketers better find some new tricks or move on to something less saturated. Know of any similarly profitable, non-OP affiliate programs?

Just another tool in the tool box DecoRx!


I'm waiting for the promised VIPPS certification with RxAffilate so that I can really stick to Drugstore.com.
