I'm looking for an alternative to the three major pay per click companies. If anyone can tell me about the, I would really appreciate it.
goClick.com is an inexpensive one. My results with them started out okay and went down from there. You'll get plenty of clicks, but my conversions weren't good enough to justify the investment. Findology.com is another one. I had absolutely no luck with their traffic, but their customer service was first rate. They helped me try to identify keywords to bid on that had good traffic for my niche. Not sure why the conversions never happened. Edit: Forgot to mention that goClick and Findology ads often appeared in each other's results. Not sure of the exact relationship between them. Jay
AdBrite (review article) and ExoClick (review article) would be my recommendation. AdBrite, although paying reasonably well, does only pay by check (USD) a month in arrears. ExoClick, despite paying a bit less, pays weekly and by PayPal at a modest minimum payout level. These services don't mind if you display their ads alongside those of competing services.
Nothing really converts besides the BIG-3 regarding my opinion or when using 2nd tier engine do Arbitrage in order to make profit!
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but try MIVA... I would consider them right behind Google and Yahoo.... They offer conversion tracking, and pretty solid Click Fraud prevention. I know they have worked in the past for me. I hope this helps
