Search feeds

[Lene]

I just thought.. all the search engines that we keep joining seem to
be at the bottom of a chain.. So I thought, why not check if it's
possible to join as an affiliate for their feeds.
Did anyone try this? I just did a quick search and found one
search engine with minimum 5 cent bids for advertisers.. though, I
don't know if they again have feeds with lower bids.

I will look into it some more. The one I found claim to pay
instantly to paypal.. So it shouldn't require too much of a wait
to see if they actually pay and is worth beeing affiliated with.

Sounds interesting i have never thought of that. I will take a look also.

I see a lot of poeple posting they have their own private search engines that may be worth looking into. :)

I thought about that last night too.
Not sure how easy it would be to get feeds for the search engine,
but definetely would earn more.. And it would be easier to just promote
one url

I came across this in my email im wondering how easy it is to get good feeds.

I think we would need more than the standard script, but I can't remember what exactly.

Here is the original site:

Might be better to join as an affiliate for them, they will probably pay more pr sale.

I guess we would also need some traffic to be accepted by any feeds in the first place.

I was just reading about Veja,
hope you didn't loose a lot of $$ :(

[fanfwar]

I lost a very big amount :(

[Lene]

That sucks big time.
I have been lucky so far and not lost on a scam.
The only one I have not yet been paid by is wired24, so I wont promote
them more before I see if they pay..

[fanfwar]

Have to cut the middleman out and get direct from the feeds and get better bids , then hopefully this wont happen again.

[Lene]

Yes, but you can always be scammed by the feeds as well..
It seems from the Veja-thread on GPF that many search engine owners
has lost between 10-20 k because of scammers. I think I would freak out if someone
scammed me with such a huge amount

[fanfwar]

Just have to get a feed from a respected/good feedback source

[Lene]

yeah, and not use only one. I find it hard to beleive that veja can have not been
paid the 15 k.. At least I know I wouldn't be smiling..

[Lene]

I am looking for more info, let me know if you find something interesting :D

[Lene]

I found this list of feeds, not sure if they are all reliable, as I didn't look into it and
have not heard about them all before.. Though it seems like a reliable list, I would
check them for sure before starting to use any of them:

7search.com
Allfeeds.com
AbcSearch.com
Blowsearch.com
Brainfox.com
Enhance.com
Epilot.com
Findit-Quick.com
Findwhat.com
Genieknows.com
GoClick
Kanoodle.com
Search123.com
Searchfeed.com

Some of those i have heard off, AbcSearch i read somewhere that someone had a problem with all there clicks being registered.

Kanoodle run the feeds for searches on sites CBS MarketWatch.com, MSNBC.com, USATODAY.com, CNET's Search.com so i guess they should be trustable.

Show some extras plus a few different options , i would imagine would be best to pay the additional $20 for unlimited updates.

[fanfwar]

I finally decided to launch my own search engine. :)

[Lene]

congrats :)
what's the name of your engine?
