Hello!!!

1. Why some off firms can pay for 1 search 1c and other pay only 0,1c or points with can be redemed for adv.
2. Whe some firms can write how much 1 search is worth and other do not that i think it,s dishonest ( i must check it personaly).

And i want to ask who makes searches for 0,1c i think it,s a wery cheap.

Some webmasters are cheap LOL.....sorry....but you dont have to search for that amount....

I try at my site to have them as High as I can to promote activity...I start at 1/4 cent and go up....I have sent some out has high as 5 cents....

Seriously though.......it depends on which search engine you use and how much they pay..so that depeneds on what you can pay your members....but..... .10 I agree is TOO LOW

Why has AC Search NEVER returned one valid result for me, EVER?
Always says "too many clicks from that IP", even though not ONE has ever resulted in a listed site being displayed!
grrrrrrr........

If I know it's a search and it's less than .10c then I usually do not click them.. unless it's for one of the few sites that i've opted to search for. I only do it then because usually you get rewarded later somehow if the click/ search ratio is high.

I pay 1 cent per search link.

Furthermore, my members CHOOSE whether or not they want to receive search mails. The option is in the member's area, a box has to be manually ticked to recieve search mails.
By doing it this way, one would surmise that members who have chosen to receive search mail would do the searches.

About 150 members have chosen to receive search mails.
About 30 members are actually clicking the search links.
About 10 members are actually performing valid searches.


Here is part of an update I sent to my members yesterday.


QUOTE
I have been telling you searchers that I AM able to track who is
clicking all the way through to the results pages. I am watching
the searchers to see who is doing what.

Some searchers are clicking the search links, but they are NOT
searching. It is not fair to me or to the other members to pay
you 1 cent to click a search link and then you don't even search.

You MUST do a search and visit an advertiser's page from
the results page for revenue to be generated.

Those of you who are not searching and clicking results, BEWARE!
If you don't begin doing the searches properly, I will begin
penalizing you.

I'm not trying to be mean, I love my members, and I love
to reward ACTIVE members. But if you are clicking search
links and then not searching, you are stealing money from me
and the other members, and I will not tolerate that!



Did I sound harsh? Am I not being reasonable?
I am working out ways to penalise invalid searchers. Like maybe deduct 2 cents from their account for each invalid search (only if they consistently perform invalid searches. I understand that sometimes a page doesn't load or something, I'm NOT going to penalise good searchers, or those who are obviously making an effort.)

What do you guys think?

Any comments? Suggestions?

I understand what you mean. I even made a search club to try and alleviate that problem so that persons who want to search only join up.


Still only a percentage of searches get done. ac.gif



I found this great little site that is just for searches. may help you get a bit more from your search engines..

I too pay one cent for a search and sometimes I do not even make 1cent per search on average. I guess the members just do not understand it.



I am looking for new ways to get others to do thier searches. If I come up with a good brain storm I will let y'all know

I have a totally seperate Idea for searhes at Z-cash...not only do they make money for clicking.....but they get a chance to send out thier searches for Free......For now its restricted for US and Canada with more counties being added soon...

So far the click threw rate is 85-95%
members got a chance to send out thier search link too for Free but paid to members, with a few restricitions.....And they have all made money off thier search links too..so everyone is happy.

If any webmasters want more details....or members who would like to join....and are from Canada or US...you can feel free to PM me or Email me....

I dont want to post it here....for my own reasons!

I will write tomorow haw ideal serach should look's like in my opinion ofcourse.
rayang
Hello!!!

As I said, I present my several ideas obout searches.
1. It can be wery usefull to create terms of serach.
2. Searches should be send separately
3. It must be written how many is directly search worth.
4. The Name off serach engine - some off them have daily limit-and country limit.
5.From time to time it should be show the actualy click thru rate.
6.The mebers with the highest CTR should be rewarded - and they with lowest -they cant get money - as a last resort they can be deleted from searches (it's unfair for hard-working searches).
7. Perhabs some caind of contest with prizes?
That's all for now .
Anybody gots other idea's?
What u think about my?
Good day to u.
