7search says that their Predictive Search tm [patent pending] allows you to promote your site with search terms that, while not directly relevant to your website's products or services, are relevant to the associated and adjunct needs of searches. "If you are selling flowers, why not promote yourself under greeting cards!"

Is that the opposite of MatchDriver2 OR WHAT

On the other hand it makes me wonder just who will be making those associated & adjunct CALLS.

If used effectively it could be useful. For example, If I'm buying a digital camera I could use prompting for accessories. On the other hand, I suspect it may become more annoying than useful.

I agree with engine here. It can be useful for MOST keywords.
Moreover, you have nothing to lose since you pay only for clicks and you don't need to bother about CTR (unlike AdWords)

Sounds good. I call this cross-indexing. I have viewed many times what people are typing in through the word tracker system. A lot of times on some of these portals the keywords are like "buy flowers for a wedding" By cross indexing you can pull the keyword "buy flowers" and "wedding". Two keywords that are still associated with your products and/or services.

I do agree with the above post... who decides what keyword are cross indexed. There is a potential for delivering those keywords that may not be as targeted for what you are selling.

Guess we will see.
