What
is 347Search.com?
347Search.com allows advertisers to
list their site in our search engine and
receive visitors at a cost-per-click basis, as
low as $.01 per click. Our service is much
more cost
effective than other advertising methods
because our service is highly targeted.
Instead of having your banner show up randomly
on different sites and hoping people will
click your link, surfers visit our site
looking for specific content using keywords
you relate to your site, just like any other
search engine.
How
much does it cost and how many visitors will I
receive?
A
minimum deposit is $25, but in return, you
will receive $30 in bids to use for keyword
bids. You must bid at least $.01 for each
keyword you list. Traffic to your site from
347Search.com depends on many factors.
For example, if you listed all your keywords
at 1 penny each, and your $30 balance was
spent on clicks to your site using the
keywords you had bid 1 penny on, that would
give you 3,000 visits for only $25!!
How
does your ranking system work?
All
ranking is based on advertiser bids. Follow
this scenario: Let's say John places a bid on
the keyword "games" for $.01. If
there are no other bids on that keyword, John
would automatically have the #1 ranking for
that keyword. If you come into the picture,
and place a bid on the keyword
"games" for $.02 , you would then
become the #1 ranking site for that keyword,
and John, saying that he is still bidding $.01
for "games," would be moved down to
the #2 ranking site. So basically, the highest
bidder for a specific keyword will always
receive the highest ranking for that specific
keyword, and lower bidders' listings will
appear under the highest bidder in descending
order of their bid amount.
How
many keywords am I allowed to bid on?
As many as you want. There is no limit to the
amount of keywords you can bid on, as long as
the keywords you bid on are related to your
site.
How
exactly is my balance spent?
Every time a surfer clicks on a link to your
site after searching with a keyword you made a
bid on, the bid amount for the keyword used to
find your site will be automatically deducted
from your account.
Can
I take money out of my account after
depositing?
No.
At this time, all deposits are non-refundable.
Do
I receive bonuses with any deposits I make
into my account?
Yes. All accounts will receive bonuses for any
and all deposits made. With a deposit of $25,
you will be credited with $30 to spend on
keyword bids. With a deposit of $50, you will
be credited with $75 in keywords bids.
Special
bonuses are given to accounts who spend $100
or more. With a deposit of $100, you will be
credited with $150 in keyword bids plus two
weeks free banner advertising. With a deposit
of $200, you will be credited with $300 plus
one month of free banner advertising.
What
kind of banner advertising do I get with a
deposit of $100 or $200?
All advertisers that spend an at-once deposit
of $100 or $200 will be allowed to place one
banner in our banner rotation. Banners must be
approved by us first. Once approved, banners
are displayed at the top of every page at
347Search.com, except for our main
page, where banners appear right about our
directory. All sites' banners are rotated
equally and fairly, and may be mixed in with
our own advertising banners. For an at-once
deposit of $100, you will receive 14 days in
our banner rotation. For an at-once deposit of
$200, you will receive 31 days in our banner
rotation.
Affiliates
Who
can become a 347Search.com affiliate?
Anyone
is allowed to become an affiliate as long as
their site(s) do not contain anything related
to warez, porn, hate, or piracy.
Do
I need to deposit money into my account to
become an affiliate?
No,
you don't. If you would like to only become an
affiliate, just sign up for a free account and
visit our affiliate section. No deposits are
required to become an affiliate.
What
types of affiliate programs do you offer and
how much do they pay?
We
offer a pay-per-search program which will
automatically deposit $.04 into your
347Search.com account for every daily
unique search made by a surfer from your site.
A daily unique search is defined as a search
made from one unique IP address each day. All
you have to do is place our cut-and-paste code
in your HTML and get it up on the web.
How
do you pay your affiliates?
To
simplify the payment process, all affiliates
are paid straight into their
347Search.com account. In the future,
we may start sending actual checks in the
mail, but for now we are sticking with our
automatic crediting.
What
happens if I am caught cheating or spamming?
If
we find out you are artificially sending
searches or using any method that is not
acceptable to send searches(e.g. spam), you
will first be notified and warned of your
actions. If we keep getting complains or
suspect you are still cheating, your account
will be immediately terminated, and we may
contact the proper authorities.
