Mirago referals?

Does anyone make money with them?

Just done a quick search using Mirago and as usual our site is at the top for our main keywords, however, looking through this months stats, I can only find 1 hit from Mirago from over 13,000 search engine and directory referals.

Did you check to see if there were any via ask and partners?

Engine: Ask and partners? Who exactly are there partners and what part of Ask is using Mirago results. I know that my Google Ad Words are now used on Ask. I already run Google Ad Words, Overture and Espotting campaings. Would using Mirago actually get me more traffic and customers?

Not withstanding the performance, our experience of Mirago has been pretty poor.

They are really slow at responsing to e-mails, are the only PPC provider that we have not managed to obtain a bulk submission spreadsheet from (if one exists and somebody has it could they sticky me) and although we get traffic from them, it does not convert at anywhere near the level of an Espotting, Google Adwords or Overture.

That being said I have been told that the results are better in different sectors more of a B2B, but have no hard feedback.

Do any of their parners' referals appear in your logs as a result of being in the Mirago DB.

Mirago Partners:

Ask
Tiscali
Dogpile
Etc.

I cannot imagine using any of these, however, I accept that some people do.

What % of these people would then choose the option at the bottom of the page to search another search engines results if they are not happy with what they have been given.

Also is it not also true to say that the Google Ad words, Overture and Espotting results must also be overlooked before the Mirago search results are shown.

I was only trying to establish if you're geting anything at all via the Mirago paid entry. Sometimes the referrer string can be a nightmare. ;-)
