Hello,
I checked the old messages about FindWhat, and there were some concerns about fraudulent clicks in the past - is this still the case?

Can you please share your experiences with FW, I am about to spend some money with them and need some opinions.

Also, what sites do they serve results to?
I know of Excite, Webcrawler and Dogpile.

Thanks very much.

Really bad experience.
Unprofessional PPC and no traffic.

defanjos: I have had problems with fraudulent clicks in FW. It was of the type that no PPCSE catches: one or so a week over a period of time. With Overture, I successfully got my money back. FindWhat "did not see a problem." Thankfully, it was only about $5 over a few months time. As far as the exposure you get, you named the big ones I know of. There are several small ones.

I have let my funds run out intentionally. I will replenish my account soon, but I will keep the bids low. My recommendation to you: Give it a try. Keep the bids low. It is worth the min $ you have to put in there (unlike the really small PPCSE). Watch your clicks. And, if you advertise with Overture and others, try different wording with each. You may find one that works better.

Good luck!

I found their interface to be just aweful. Ah-ha on the other hand has a very nice admin interface. I did see some traffic from using them, but none that lead to any $$$
