I’m taking a break from Overture for now. I turned "OFF" my account and requested for them to refund me my money. I will turn it "ON" at a later date when I have better knowledge on how to use it properly. I fear if I go on learning this way, its going to cost me a lot of money. I’m looking for some kind of ebook on Overture…. I’m not sure if I can find one. Most people talk about Google AdWords and not Overture.

I was recommended by someone to purchase John Reese’s Traffic Secrets course because he covers Overture in detail but the course costs too much for me at the moment.

One of the things I can’t stand about Overture is the way they make it sound like they are doing you a great favour by charging you money. Here’s an email to show you what I mean…

Well, I really need to understand their system inside out or else I would be at their mercy. I would rather use Enhance or Findwhat at the moment because I feel they are more honest, straight forward and less "sneaky".
