      You would think that traffic coming from people who knowingly click on an advertising link in yahoo or google would be great. But at nearly or ove r10 cents a click, that traffic sucks and is getting very hard to make profitable.

        I used them for a couple of years w/ great success, but as of the last 6mo. or so, click costs are up and returns are down to the point that it's a waste of time and money these days for me...

          Try some of the smaller PPC SEs that are still big. $0.02 - $0.03 can get you top10 listings for a lot of adult terms. $0.10 will get you top spots for words like sex and porn.

              I tried Kanoodle a while back when they had a PPC account special, and converted like crap. However, now that they improved their system, I heard a few reports that they were not bad.

                  They are not what they used to be, esp. that now the min. click is $.10, but you can try them for highly proftable niches you think you can convert, you'd better take first the expertise of their specialists in having links placed and then you'll know their rules and how to get things listed.

                      with Kanoodle, you have to wait few business days before they approve your keywords or ads and IMO that sucks.
                      Moreover, since a few months they have a min. of 5 cents per click for adult terms.
                      The sites that are bidding less are old listings.
                      The fact that currently the max. bid for "sex" or "porn" is only 6 cents, makes me think that their traffic sucks...
                      But I haven't tried them yet.
                      That means I submitted a site few weeks ago, but I waited about 6 days for approval and I prefer more flexible PPC SE's.
                      I don't use ICQ anymore.

                        I use a lot of PPC. Kanoodle, Overture, search123. Each does well in its own way. It takes some manuvering arounf to get everything flowing right. One of them...I am thinking Kanoodle has a desihnated adult marketing guy. I can't think of his name but I met him at the last 2 Internext shows. He helped me get going...

                        All 3 of them take a little time to get everything loaded, but its just theor procedures. If you do use PPC, make sure you do it right from the get go...It can me very profitable.

                            Overture is a fantastic source of traffic, worth every penny IMHO.

                              I call bullshit on you buddy. Why don't you just come out and say that's your site, instead of trying a "I used these guys, they're great" spam? You fucking clown shoe, I bet you don't know your head from your ass when it comes to SE's if you're that desperate for clients.

                                  We tried Overture for both adult and main stream sites and it was a total waste of $
                                  The sites all convert well with our own SE traffic but Overture was a wash.

                                          yep, PPC traffic on SE's is getting way too expensive. Especially when you consider the higher you're ranked, the more click fraud you experience (from competitors or other webmasters).

                                          Webair Hosting

                                          I use and recommend Webair for hosting.

                                              WTF?
                                              Take a look at 7 Search. The min. bid for sex is only $0.05 , but there are only two advertisers who are bidding at this amount per click. So why do you think that people don't wanna spend 6 cents per click with 7 Search and prefer spend 12 cents per click with Overture or Ad Words ?
                                              PPC traffic from different SE's has different quality !
                                              I don't use ICQ anymore.

You fucking clown shoe, I bet you don't know your head from your ass when it comes to SE's if you're that desperate for clients.
                                                Rich I own the domain and the server but not he service. Latore owns the program. But I do truly stand by the service. The same way I stand by Chocker, Sexzity and UCumSeeMe. If your service is hot I'll promote it. Latore's a friend a really nice guy and those who have done business with him wil tell you the same. They also would explain to you why I would hook him up with a server space and one of my domains. He know's his shit, and he is one of the easiest guys to work with. You contact him and see for yourself.

                                                As far as SE's yes I know fairly a lot about SE's. I also know how to spend money on Overature and get the hits I want. Not just Surfer traffic. I know a great deal about PPC.
