    what are the list of PPC's that you have had success with and what topic is your field?

    I am having a hard time find a legitimate ppc campaign besides google and yahoo which gives us quality traffic. Everything else we haven't gotten any conversions.

    What would u suggest using?

    That's about it (Y! and G) depending on what you're selling.

    What are you selling?

    I would definitely stick w/ Adwords and Yahoo!.

    I use the business.com PPC once in a while (for "industrial goods").

    Search123, Miva (formerly called FindWhat) and SearchFeed call all give decent returns. What works for one person may not work for another.

    I've had success with FindWhat (now Miva), but only by taking the performing terms from Google and Overture and using them.

    I always start with G and O. Onve I figure out what's working there, it will usually work in FindWhat.

    Never tried Mamma.

    Never had any success with any of the other second tier: SearchFeed, Search123, ePilot, Enhance, Findology, Kanoodle - they are just too full of click fraud.

    AskJeeves now has an offering that I'm trying out for a client. Still, only with words that have a proven track record in G and O.

    I eagerly anticipating MSN's offering, due sometime next summer.

    As some have suggested FindWhat/Miva is good as well as Mamma.

    I'd also recommend LookSmart and Kanoodle.

    They don't have the popularity of G and Y but they can help you to really flush out your earnings.

    i just worked with findwhat (Miva), had their account manager work with me to set it up and got horrible results. over the weekend had 263 clicks and 0 conversions, plus the first time we used them, before they changed to MIVA had 450 clicks and 0 conversions. At least they were trying to help but nothing works for them. Everything we used, was the same as google, and we close at 12% on that. Must be click fraud or something

    Adwords are good but too many Click frauds..don't spends more than .20 cents
    on any keywords, you could spend 10k with adwords and get only 1 client or maybe two. but if you are serious about getting people on your website, hire
    the Best SEO guy and get your website number one..and please not just any SEO..(ya I know of other website owners who also spent thousand with paying webmaster but never achieve anything-so interview, ask people etc...)
