Hi,

I have been using adwords for awhile and I was just wondering if there were any other search engines that were as good or better than adwords or overture. By better I mean price, and features?

Thanks

Christian

Christian,

There are plenty that are cheaper, but traffic is generally MUCH lower and often MUCH worse. Click fraud measures with the big two are generally accepted to be much more robust (though not perfect).

Basically, I stick with Adwords (and some "Overture"). I try and spread it thin and imaginatively, as a way of coping with the prices.

Hope this helps,
Charlie.

P.S. For Adwords try Perry Marshall or Andrew Goodman. The devil's in the detail. Wink

Charlie is absolutely right about that Christian. A lot of people prefer Google. Wide coverage and absolute ROI.

Enjoy!

Google Adwords and Overture (now - Yahoo Search Marketing) are fastest traffic method on internet. But they are expensive, $1-10 per click. Please consider smaller PPC services, their ROI better than Adwords and Overture.

Google Adwords is the best of all options available. The other option is to go for yahoo..and the least preference to MSN.

So far..Adwords has the widest coverage and if use effectively the cost is well worth it.

There are alot of ppc search engines that cost much lower cpc, but you have to watch these as alot of them send fraudulent clicks, especially the 3rd tiers that offer affiliate programs.

Google adword is expensive, but if you want targeted traffic with some ROI Google and to a lesser extent Yahoo Search Marketing are the two best ppc options.

I tried MSN, trust me it doesn't deliver the traffic or sales anywhere approaching adwords. Cool

Hi,

I have tried Google, Yahoo and several other search engines, most of them do bring lots of traffic to you website, some sales too. However the cost is awful. you could spends thousands trying to get sales and traffic to your website with these.

I have discovered a new search engine called Search Big Daddy, It brings good quality traffic to my website and opportunities I am promoting.

The best about Search Big daddy is, you get paid in ppc just for searching on your own portal, post articles to a free blog and more. I really recommend it.

To Your Success,
Les
