7Search then and now

Just looked at them for the first time in 2 years

A couple of years ago I experimented with 7Search and put a couple of my best affiliate links there. One was for web hosting and the other inkjet cartridges. I got lots of traffic and not 1 sale.

I checked them out last night and noticed 2 major differences than 2 years ago. 1. Their home page looks a lot nicer. 2. The bids on the top position on the keywords I was bidding on 2 years ago quadrupled. It leaves me wondering if this is a reflection of the quality of traffic getting much higher?

After that experiment I told my self if you find a PPC engine and the number 1 spot for a keyword term like web hosting is 15 or 20 cents and that same term is over $1.00 at Findwhat or $2.00, at Overture something like $5.00 it must reflect the traffic volume, quality or both.

Not at all. Jaguars were notoriously expensive POS's for years. Did being expensive mean it was better?

Remember, lots of markets get "owned" because someone comes in and does things BETTER at a lower PRICE *NOT* because they come in more expensive.

The quality of the network is based on your ROI. Your ROI has no reflection upon MINE nor anyone elses.

You lost me on the Jaguars and POS's? I see your point. I guess I have only had luck so far with expensive PPC engines. I have tried a few cheaper and always flopped. Kanoodle, 7Search and Brainfox. Using affiliate links I never got a sale or a lead from any of them. I guess my results don't mean traffic quality for the cheaper PPC's are bad. Thanks for the reply.

I don't recall specifically but I remember reading somewhere that 7search was downgraded by Google sometime ago..

At one point they had a PR of 0 now after a few months a "Once leader" in their field they have a wopping PR4 site.

Something is wrong...something is very wrong. Unfortunately only the weary uneducated, still wet behind the ears Webmaster will understand this.

Oh..by the way..yeah they have a redesigned the site..look goo actually..but I wonder if the furniture inside the newly painted home is still the same..I'm not the one to venture in and find out.. :)
