Besides Google Adwords and Overture what PPC Company would you say returns the best ROI...

Kanoodle is out of the question because I install trackers on my landing pages and they are scandelous by far.
They use Extremely shady search engines in which some (ive tried) you cant even make a search. Also about 65% are run by the same company.
I Highly would recommend anything but kanoodle. At least their keyword precision program is scandelous!

What other ppc search engines have you tested and got the best ROI on? And also got decent clicks.

Looksmart?
Enhance Interactive?
FindWhat?
GoClick?
E-Spotting?
And the rest of them....

Have you tested any of these with tracking software?

Thank you!

I recommend any PPC engines that doesn't look like a scam at first blush and has a low buy in ($10) and your conversion costs are less than the buy in.

Hello IntegraGsrBalla,

We're very sorry to hear you’ve had issues with Kanoodle in the past. Please note that we've recently removed some search partners from our keyword distribution network which we determined to be poor performers for our advertisers. We also have a separate product, ContextTarget, which receives premier destination traffic from sites such as CBS MarketWatch, MSNBC.com and The Motley Fool. We are striving to provide advertisers with the best possible experience: from ROI to customer service to user reports.

In the last several months, we've also made some new additions to management (from Sprinks) and new sales and partner teams. There have been lots of great changes and innovations here this year. We would love to talk to you about them and about any specific issues you may have had.

I would say FindWhat then LookSmart. Enhance has a lot of fraud.(For me)7search is good too.

LookSmart?

Yikes! I guess everyone experiences something different. You are pretty much the first person I've seen to ever say LookSmart worked out for them..

I would rank Looksmart as the worst. A lot of clicks, no conversions. Business.com has good conversion, but the minimum bid price tends to be pretty high, especially for featured listings. Enhance has problems with click fraud, but has still given me good results over time. What works for some, doesn't work for others, you just have to try out different options, and work hard at optimizing your listings.

I rank Looksmart as the worst based on my personal experience. I also got very poor results with Findwhat, so I stopped using them also. That was about a year ago I believe, so maybe their quality has come up since then. Is anyone using Findwhat with a good ROI now?

Also, Enhance was a waste of money also. I wish they would quit calling me. I only used them for a couple months but my ROI was almost 0%. Never used Kanoodle much. I checked them out and I was ranked #1 in their organic search, but I get no traffic from them directly. I can't really say much about them.

Be careful with E-pilot, Kanoodle, Wordsmith and Aha-ha. Your funds could flush down the toilet. Give it a try and you'll find out.

KanoodleDood, I got a hit from the following search engine...
searchnewsites.com
I think kanoodle should remove this site from there partner list because it don't even let you perform a search.

Try and see, you have to browse..lol

Thats not a targeted hit.
