Well yeah I've been using findwhat and google adwords. Now I'm NOT knocking sex.com but as far as PPC it did nothing for me. Google and findwhat have done the best for me.

When I contacted findwhat to find out what's going on....she basically said we have no control over where our affiliates place you on their site. Cause I was bidding 14 cents on a keyword/phrase and other sites were ahead of me...at 14 cents...my site was not even showing on the first page of some of the major affiliate sites. So they said well you're number one on our site, and I'm like what good is it to be number one when I have NEVER had one visitor from your site come to mine. Anyway, big run around and now the affilates are not even listing me on the first page in some cases and my bids are still higher than people who are placed before me...doesn't make sense.
