Overture -- if you're not getting approved/rejected within 72 hours, rest assured that they've lost your order (they call it a Search Listing Request). When their systems work, they work well -- but they're known to drop an occasional order here and there. It's lame, but it happens - believe me, I know.
Other important Overture-thing-to-know: if you're bidding on a search term that's not in their "official" list of adult terms, you're not gonna get it. What they do: They check to see if your site is rated X (largely automated process), then check to see if your search term is on their Adult List. If both the term and your site are rated X, you're fine. If one's not, you're rejected (another automated process). So don't bother coming up with the most obscure search term you can think of -- it's probably not on their adult terms list, and it's probably gonna get rejected without a human even seeing it...
As for FindWhat... who cares. They lost Yahoo to Overture in Europe and they're gonna blow the eSpotting deal. May as well spend your time with Kanoodle or Aha or any of the other, cheaper also-rans...
