Default Overture vs. Google

We have been using Google for our pay per click ads for the last year or so, we have recently been approached by Overture very aggressively to get invovled with their campaigns even getting a $100 credit coupon.
I know the mininum is 10 cents per click ? It think?
Does anyone have any feelings about Overture advertising, good or bad?

I have asked this question on another forum, because like you I use Adwords but haven't tried Overture.

Is the minimum really 10 cents per click?

On the UK version of Overture, the last time I looked, you need to start your account with just over $100, and then use a minimum of $38 a month. That wouldn't be a problem for me, but the principle is that I don't believe I should be told I have to use over $38 without a choice.

I would like the option of using Overture, but I think it's wrong to impose these restrictions, and if others took that view, it might force them to change.

Aren't Yahoo and MSN bringing out their own ppc programs soon? I will wait to see what happens there.

That may be the minimum but kw's in my industry can range over $10 a click. I am exactly opposite I have always used O not G. I can not seem to get the G/ads down. I see nill for traffic from G/ads. All my traffic comes for free from Google anyway. O seems much simpler to initiate and maintain.

I've heard that Overture is very understanding about click fraud, whereas google will adjust you automatically. Is that true or just a rumor?
