Search Fuel Results - geek/talk: Signature-free discourse for serious web publishers

hobbnet · 03-12-2001, 10:59 AM

Have many people switched over to SearchFuel after what has recently happened in the SI program?

I have and I am seeing great results. About 14% of my users so far are using the search boxes. I am using text links right below the search box which is most definitely raising my CTR. But for 700 uniques yesterday I made $5 (which on average turns into 2,100 pagviews). Pretty good CPM I'd have to say.

Kaycee · 03-12-2001, 12:09 PM

I'm using the plain HTML box with no pre-entered terms, or text links, and seeing very good results.

If I see a check next month to match the great looking stats, Long live SearchFuel.

Maybe I'll even put a few pennies in Sprinks to see a few of my own sites showing up in the Search results, and to help the program to continue. Who knows.

Just playing by ear. Almost always, when you find a program you think is it, they change things the next day. Be prepared for change, and do what is needed to feed yourself.

Always remember your worth as a Webmaster. You're in demand, and they're nothing without you.

I was using SI for months but went to search fuel after they changed the rules. I was making 5 bucks a day from SI and about a dollar after they changed now im using search fuel and making 10 bucks a day with text links, i didn't pre enter any words in the box.

Im using the same words as text links that i used to pre fill in SI's box and my traffic is the same i think SI has a bad search results page filled with ads and that's why i can do so much better with search fuel.

You don't have to use the two search boxes search fuel gives you i made my on and they gave me the ok to use them http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif

But isn't SearchFuel also a second page click?

demae · 03-13-2001, 06:26 AM

Yes, SearchFuel is second page click through. They are more flexible than SearchTraffic in their rules, however:

- can open search results in new window
- can customize look of new window
- can open search results in a frame

They pay 5 cents for any second page clickthrough, however their search results only return bidded listings.

If there are no bidded listings, it'll show something like this:

I wonder how easy it is to get a second page clickthrough. Judging by the results of hobbnet, Kaycee and Saver1, it might not be as hard as we think... Comments?

a1022, SearchFuel do pay for only second-page clicks, yes. They do allow greater flexibility in both linking techniques and the customization of results pages, though, which explains why some publishers are seeing better results through this system

Hmm.. I should give them a try then. I am currently fooling around with AdSearches. They pay no matter if your user clicks on the results or not. So far so good with this company. Anyone else had good experiences with it?

What IS the best out there now? AdSearches or SearchFuel?

**Czar** · 03-13-2001, 07:15 AM

I am personally a big fan of AdSearches, for their attractive searchboxes, ease of use and first-click payment scheme.

More creative users may prefer SearchFuel for the ability to customize the appearance of the search results. To be sure, the AdSearches results page is very ugly, and does spawn popups, so SearchFuel and SearchTraffic may be better in this regard.

Does searchfuel have a webmaster referal program??

cybmike: Just do a view source on the page you like and see how others are doing it.

a1022 · 03-13-2001, 09:24 AM

How do I sign up if I don't have a TAX ID# or SSN because I'm Canadian? The form won't go through without a number... http://geekvillage.com/ubb/frown.gif

@ a1022

Just fill in something like "123456789" - it worked for me...

a1022 · 03-13-2001, 10:43 AM

trader: The only problem with that is when it is time for them to pay. If they see that they might not pay so I am going to e-mail them first to be safe. It seems like a lot of us webmasters are being had these days.

cybmike · 03-13-2001, 12:54 PM

Yeah thats me http://geekvillage.com/ubb/smile.gif

Are there any limits to searchfuel since they don't have a long term section. Can they be used on any type of site with any type of links?

Too bad they don't have a forum for discussion
