Beyond the standard distribution partners FindWhat always list (CNET's Search.com, Excite, Webcrawler, MetaCrawler, Dogpile, and Microsoft Internet Explorer Autosearch), does anyone know who some of their largest deals are with? Where is most of FindWhat's traffic coming from? Also, I hear that a large portion of their revenue is generated from porn/adult advertisers, since Overture and Google limit this type of advertisements across their Networks partner sites. Can anyone provide support to that claim? Thank.

I don't have any keywords that are likely to have connotative meanings in porn. Over the past year I have used findwhat on and off. I am not familiar with any partners that have any reasonable popularity other from the ones mentioned in the first post. From what I can tell many of their others partners seem to be from companies that are using some sort of homepage hijacker or toolbar. One example is isearch.com, which appears to be partnering with a number of other ppc companies in addition to findwhat. They seem to have a toolbar which they seemed to have managed to get installed on a fairly decent number of machines.

I haven't received any traffic recently from porn sites but I don't think most people want to be sponsoring the peddlers of spyware/adware. Given the relatively limited traffic their partners receive I probably would be reluctant to recomend them to anyone.
