We pre-announced it to give you time to prepare. We will be requiring short descriptions later this month but will not begin truncating until June. Stay tuned. You may also contact Customer Solutions if you have more questions, (866) 924-6676. - M2 Robert,

Please see the following example, ad copy today ( and everyday from this particular company) from the search page: Translation Services - Save Over 40% Now www.VerbatimSolutions.com - SAVE Over 40% for Professional Translation Services and see why more than 25,000 companies select our Translation Services-Quality Guarantee-Fast Service-Click here for a Translation Quote As you can see, it is clearly over the 70 characters that the rest of us are allowed to place in short ads. Why is this? I am looking forward to your response. Also, if there is another contact address that I should be sending this inquiry to, please let me know.
