Our site gets quite a bit of traffic and came across a search engine that would pay us when our visitors clicked on their featured (pay-per-click) advertisers.

The income from this has been consistently VERY good.

We would love to put more of these types of programs within our site. Does anyone know where to find them (not slimy type sites with millions of pop-ups? Also no spyware companies.)

I am not sure if posting this type of info on the forum would be proper so please send a stick note if you have some info!

Thanks!

I presume that you mean that you are looking for more affiliate schemes?
In my experience, pay-per-click advertising is the only kind of affiliate scheme that actually pays well without requiring vast amounts of time and effort.

My apologize for your misunderstanding. When a site is able to provide a pay-per-click company with a vast number of quality leads, don't you think they should be paid for their prior time and efforts creating the large traffic flow?

If a product is not worthy of being shown to our visitors we would not list it on our site.

Just to clarify : You want visitors to come to your site ( I presume) so you spend advertising money on pay-per-click so they will buy "something". If a site that provides information, has large amounts of traffic and can send the advertiser "quality leads" is a scheme, than I think you may have missed something.

Regards!

Most of the PPC-engines have affiliate programs you can join if your website meet the minimum requirements they have (usually in terms of number of visitors/page vioews or searches).

I know they each have very different programs some of which is designed to small sites and some for larger sites. You should go to each of the major PPC-engines and evaluate the options they have to see which ones will make you the best profit.

gogetter, now I am confused. I *think* that we both agree that PPC can be good for search sites to earn income from. Beyond that, I am not sure what you are asking.

My previous point was that other kinds of affiliate schems such as Amazon etc. can take a lot more effort in order to make them pay off, in comparison to say Overture or Espotting.

Sorry bobby, I was the one who misunderstood you ;) I heard the word "scheme" and thought "trickery".

I have used some affiliate with little success,linkshare CJ etc. I just found out about the theifware and affiliate commissions and wonder how much of this has to do with commissions. This pay per click thing was a big eye opener!

Thank you all for your help I will be reviewing these options!
