Welcome nima

2 years ago I spent MY MONEY testing 12 PPCs

I came to the conclusion that Overture and FindWhat were worth the effort. Currently testing adwords/select.

I read at WmW that others drive quality traffic but I'm not sure that this list will grow to as many as 10.

Hi thank you for the reply. I have tried overture and I did get results but out of the 50$ that I spent I got 60 clicks within some hours as I had my links in the top 3-5 positions and it made only about 30% of the 50$. So what I need to know if some other PPC's where I can get a good amount of clicks but lets say with spending only about 10$. The keyword that I bid on gets about 150,000 searches a month on overture.

Did you bid on only ONE competitive word?

This is how I'd rank some of the ones I've used or am using (I've tried about a few dozen others):

Overture
FindWhat
Google AdWords or Select PPC
eSpotting
Overture UK
Ah-ha
Kanoodle
Sprinks
7Search
Bay9
ePilot
SearchGalore
OneSearch

[payperclicksearchengines.com...] shows how each PPC ranks on Alexa

My opinion is that these are the only ones worth the time:

Overture
FindWhat
Google AdWords or Select PPC
eSpotting
Overture UK
Ah-ha
Kanoodle
Sprinks

sprinks requires a 100$ deposit is there any other one you could recommend besides the ones you already listed? also is espotting only for the UK? or would it also work for people that would require a visa/master card/ discover

to order something on my website?

[TomWaits]

Nope, no other recommendations.

[espotting.com...] lists where their results are distributed.

On Overture, Did you bid on only ONE competitive word?

[nima]

Hi no I bid on several. I would say about 20 which were the only ones related to what I was advertising

[Mike_Mackin]

hi nima

Was there one word or one phrase that eat up most of the money?

[nima]

Hi Mike,
they were mostly 2 word keywords, but 2-3 of them got me the most clicks which were of course the highest bids =(

[Mike_Mackin]

Well I'm answering this in the blind.

Try it again
Start with all bids at #10 and inch them up until you see a problem in term of "burn rate" and ROI

Balance the program to your desired outcome.

If one KW phrase seem out of line, trash it.

when we set up an account we research terms (clicks,money,relevance) and then fire up the account. We wait 5 to 7 days and look at the clicks/cost/value and reassess the words and either drop or add words depending on what we find.

we monitor them every few days after that and then do a full assessment every month
