Overture has removed all my 533 listings today - GoFuckYourself.com

Damn, overture has removed all my 533 listings in all my 11 categories today that were in my account for nearly 12 months. Nothing has changed with the listings or the landinpages. They were reviewed many times, but today they wrote me that all listings are removed for reasons like "Term Is Not Acceptable for an Adult URL" for terms like "transsexual porn" and "anal porn videos" which were all on their approved adult keyword list of course, otherwise they would have been rejected after submission.

Anyone experiencing the same? What's going on at overture?

Bush might be giving them some consultory

You're making too much money and you need to slow down, it's a sign from up above!

What a bunch of stupid fucks.

Have you noticed that we are in a "regression mode"

Hell in a couple of years we'll be more constipated then we were in the 50's

This is just the start of things, soon we will be singing I pledge of allegiance to the bible instead of our flag...

Wow, no idea what happened although it wouldn't shock me to be honest.

Thanks guys.
I hope they anwser my email and tell me more about it, cause I still don't know why this happened all of a sudden.
Although overtures 10 cent minimum clicks never converted really googd for me, so it wouldn't be a big loss

Just drop them, their traffic nowadays is no good.

I spend a lot of time on the phone with them to get things like this sorted out, just over the past 2 weeks I must have spent 4 hours or more talking things through with my rep and their editorial team. You may want to try opening a fast track account just so you can speak to a rep.

Be warned, this is Yahoo and they are extremely disorganized. You will probably have to face massive bureaucracy and fight the red tape like you never did before. If you can keep your frustrations under control, you will have your way, especially if your requests are legit and you fully comply with their TOS.

Thanks. But is this possible?
