    I would like to know the answer to this question to as my company has been approached. While it seems like a very good deal excite are only the 14th best SE trafficer to my site.
    Point to consider however is Ask are buying them out so it will probabally run on their algo.

    They spam us by phone every 2 months. Them and Lycos, similar deal where you reserve the ads for certain categories/terms. Never sounded interesting to me. So, nothing I can share besides their crappy telemarketing scripts.

    Yeah but for £500 the deal is potentially good, for the kind of keyowrds i compete for on Adwords I would only need 3-5 clicks a day to make it even.

    How about you buy it and report back in a few weeks with the results? ;)
