A $50 initial deposit is non-refundable and will be applied to click-throughs or to the minimum monthly spend. Each account has a $20 minimum monthly spend. There is a minimum bid requirement of $0.10 per click-through. Sellers of certain legally restricted products may require certification at extra cost. Can you believe all of those ridiculous charges? With Fast Track, you're already $240 in the hole, before you even get started! Does that seem fair to you? Well, in order to be fair to Overture, before I wrote this article, I talked to 25 past and current Overture advertisers. A handful were extremely happy with Overture. The rest, however said they had made no money and that Overture's service was extremely slow or non-existant. I also had a lot of people e-mail me complaining that Overture's Keyword Suggestion Tool is inaccurate, and misleading, and that the results they got were a lot different than the figures Overture claimed for many keywords. In conclusion, I say "run, don't walk away" from Overture's pay-per-click program. Remember, this is the same company that signed an agreement with "scumware" giant Gator. I think that should tell you all you need to know about Overture!
