Our company runs a search engine. A fairly small one at the minute - only 700 to 800 visitors a day - but still, it's ours and we like it.
We want to affiliate ourselves with a PPC engine and show a certain number of paid listings above our own results. We've run into problems while researching this, because most of the PPC engines seem to ask that take *all* your results from them. Which companys don't? We're espiecially interested in the smaller PPC engines that won't demand more visitors than we have at present.
Anyway, I suggest you personally contact small Pay Per Click search engines (do a quick search on Google or DMOZ) and discuss your idea with them.
At present, the searchengine we're running isn't a major part of our business, and we aren't making any money from it. There *are* no advertisers at present, and we don't have the time to invest in setting up our own PPC system (or truly enough of an audience yet to make that worthwhile).
What we're looking for at present is something along the lines of what Overture offers affiliates - somewhere with two or three paid results to set above our own results. The reason I'm asking here was that although I looked at a few, most small ones I found seemed to wanted to replace our free listings entirely, and we don't have enough traffic for Overture itself yet (One day we will. Just not today)
As mentioned before, try contacting small PPC search engines first! Here is a small list you can work with -
