I vaguely remember trying them out years ago when I was publishing ebooks. Nothing much to rave about, if I recall. Anyway, I'm in a new field now and just received a solicitation from them in my email. Among what they pitch, here is what I was interested to learn more about: "Industry experts estimate that Yahoo and Google reach 80% of the online search audience... Why get less than 100%? As a leading pay-per-click search engine, ePilot targets the remaining 20% of the internet search audience." Now is this just marketing hype or is there some fact or statistical information to back up their claim? They mention LookSmart, Searches.com and Index.com as part of their network. Anyone using ePilot?
I have used and continue to use ePilot. However, I can not comment on the conversion ratio or quality of the traffic. I use them to just push lots of traffic around and they are great for that. I get decent traffic in their lower bid levels, usually 0.02 or 0.03 is all I do. I haven't every tried their 0.07 recommendation to get in the whole network. chad
I used to use epilot on the other side of things (as a feed). I can say after that I would not pay to be on epilot, but they agrigate a few other feeds so they may not be 100% avoidable once you leave the top 2.
I tried ePilot for one of my pharmacy sites. They flooded me with traffic -- burned up my entire budget -- and as far as I could tell I never got one conversion. And this is on a site that converts very well.
