Notice I received from GoTo today....Ouch! This hurts!
------------------------------------------------------


The first change is a minimum bid requirement. As a
result, all bids for new listings created after March
1st will need to begin at a minimum of 5 cents.

The second change is a minimum spend requirement.
Effective March 1st all new accounts will be required
to spend a minimum of $20 a month in clickthrough
charges. Accounts with a monthly spend of less than
$20 will be charged the difference between their
spend and the $20 minimum.
-------------------------------------------------------


Maybe those of you who said it was only a matter of time
before they knocked out small businesses were right. This
is just the beginning and they are grandfathering, but
still, paying 5 times what was being charged before is
not a "modest" increase!


Sincerely,
Linda Rocco
