Read the FAQ. I am still not sure whether I understand how their system works. Can somebody explain their new system in a less complicated manner?
Also, what do you think of the new "revolutionary" system anyway?
Not sure if I'll participate. They never sent that many sales my way and they want just under $100 just to start.
From my understanding, when you make a sale you login and credit a commission to them. They must calculate a EPC value and do rankings by that.
huh? Are you sure?
Quoting from their website -
We rank our search results based on the average income we receive for a listing and the number of impressions it has received.
Let's say you assign $10.00 to this listing and it has received 500 impressions. By using our formula above, we can work out that your IPI would be $0.02 [$10.00 divided by 500 impressions]. If another advertiser has a higher IPI value, they wil rank higher and likewise, an advertiser with a lower IPI would be lower than you.
How is this any different than PPC?
Dygo is no PPCSE because advertisers do NOT pay per click. If I have read the description right, Dygo is now a pay per impression search engine.
What I fail to understand is how their ranking works. The IPI stuff is way over my head.
If a keyword 'red widgets' has three advertisers, won't all the three advertisers collect the same number of impressions? That means IPI value of all three listings will be the same. Then how are the listings ranked?
You may have a listing than is dropping down the results, and you need to increase it's position.

If the number of impressions is the same for all listings, the only other variable is the amount allocated. So even though you don't pay per impression, the sites are still ranked by IPI....I think....
here is my take on it...
it is a search engine...the only way you get listed is if you pay their fee.
now lets say you have 3 sites that buy the keyword "beans"
company 1 pays $10
company 2 pays $25
company 3 pays $1
now "mr customer" comes and does a search for "beans"
the results are listed as:
company 2
company 1
company 3
since only sites that pay are in the database you are always listed when a search is done.
i may see if i can get some budget to test it out...if i do i will let you guys know how it works.
i just wonder how good their statistics and tracking are on the site.
