Imagine how much money they send to adwords though, many many millions a month not really surprising they would be offered special treatment i dont think.
Besides the irritating Ja'makn (me'crazy) Search Bash spot it was a good show. It cracked me up when he said 'in case you weren't listening, I'm gonna repeat myself.'
It was interesting to hear what the big players are up to but the answers to Jon's question helped me the most. I'm going to try more niched keyword terms in hope of a better CTR with PPC. I believe it was Kris that mentioned AdBrite (MSN was also noted) - I'm liking it as well...lots of bang for your bills.
