Other search engines for PPC

    Has anyone found a decent PPC search engine other than the big three? In reality I have only has good return from Google. Yahoo and MSN have provided very poor ROI. I would love to find a good one with few invalid clicks.

    Why does it have to be a search engine? Lots of websites outsource their advertising with non-search-engine advertisers. I use Adbrite.com myself and it works great for what I need it for. They are on hundreds of thousands of websites and are easy to get setup. (Note: I do not work for Adbrite)

    I had been using Google and MSN and Yahoo for many years but the return was next to nothing. At Mondo Food in fact we turned off all advertising and had the same amount of purchases over a given period of time. I feel search engine PPCs are overvalued and over utilized by the big folks (ebay, amazon, etc...) that the results are so diluted and worthless.

    Isn't ask.com a partner with Google, therefore if you are advertising in Google, you are advertising on ask.com?

    Ask.com does show Google ads, but they also show direct ads (much, much cheaper) and they have a great network of other engines like - MyWebSearch (http://search.mywebsearch.com/mywebsearch/default.jhtml), etc., etc.

    The point is that they do show Google ads, but at a much more expensive cost and if you go direct you will save money and get additional coverage - just an FYI.

    Hi Mate,

    I am agree with your opinion about Yahoo and MSN.

    I think now days Google Adwords is batter with placement and local business advertisement. I hope this will only help you to achive your target. No need to go here and there.

    Thanks
