PPC Marketing on small search networks?

[tihomir]

Hi guys!

I am just wondering if somebody had any success running campaigns with 7search, MIVA, Searchfeed, Abcsearch or similar?
These networks implement some fraud protections but I am not sure if traffic is any good (some of them get most of their traffic from Affiliate XML feeds).

I am interested in them coz their prices are way lower than major search engines. Also you don't need to care about landing pages.

What is your experience? Is it converting well?

Tried them. Its hard to make a profit with them... a lot of the traffic is pretty poor quality.

Really awful quality on most of them, however enhance.com is the best I have come across.

Geez- first post - dont bother reading any of the other threads about this - just start your own, really we dont mind.

Test the waters and see if anything works in your particular niche. Some of these 2nd tier engines have some pretty crap traffic, but in the right niches they can actually be okay.

Remember, you get what you pay for. A $0.75 click from Google that converts 10% of the time is worth more than a $0.08 click from 7search that converts 1% of the time.

Here is a tip for those shit PPC networks. All their traffic comes from their affiliates who spam doorways to get organic listings. Find out what keywords their spamming affiliates are targeting to rank for in the organic listings and place ads in that market/niche. Another thing is that most of their affiliate redirect all longtail organic searches to the base keyword so bidding on longtail terms is a waste.
