Welcome to the forums donds! :hi:
Well, nice, clean look!
Big problem with the affiliate program:
http://www.lookquick.com/affiliate.html
That will spur affiliates to search on their own site just to get the money. This happens all the time and not a good idea. You will have lots of fraud. As a consequence, your advertisers will not get quality visitors for their money. Unfortunately, there are many ppc engines out there like this one.
Good luck to you!

Here's a hint. In the long run, trying to advertise your site by posting come-ons in several SEO forums at once, like you have, is going to cause serious damage to your business.
[edited]
It would also help if you could restrict yourself to starting only one thread on a topic in each individual forum, instead of creating duplicate threads (http://www.ihelpyouservices.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5115).

Nice Job customizing that script, The Admin is right tho. You should not use the affiliate program included in the script for an incentive to promote searches within your PPC Site. It Tends to Promote Fraudulent Clicks and useless Traffic to your Sponsors.
If you remove that option, you will be able to apply to Searchfeed and RevenuPilot as an alternative Affiliate Program to enhance the Profitability of Your Site.
I also Suggest using the SmartFrame Addon.
Hope This Helps,

Doug,
I was surfing for a good forum on search engines when I came upon your forum.
I happen to own a ppc search engine which has been online since Jan 2000 and I agree with you 100% on the abuse that enters the system when you reward affiliates for click throughs.
On the search engine I have operated over the past two years, we have an affiliate program which pays someone (who is a clickbank affiliate ) a referral commission of 40% at present on any deposits the refered person makes.
We however do not reward anyone for clicking through on our links. I saw this as potential problem when this type of affiliate program was first set up.
The fact is that most of the independent ppc search sites use that type of affiliate program in order to build a much higher traffic flow to their site. I don't know if any other privately owned ppc search site refuses to use the program or not since it does slow the growth of traffic experienced.
It is also hard to get webmasters to understand that there is a difference in the quality of traffic delivered by a site that rewards for click throughs and one that does not. So sometimes a person feels like just throwing in the towell and joining the group, and probably greatly increase my own revenues by doing so.
The thing that keeps me from doing just that is because when I set my site up, I wanted it to deliver as much value as possible to my customers. That is not always the best thing for making money, but it makes me feel better. Value to our customers is another reason we give a free entry into SharedProfit with a minimum $25 deposit.
So when I found this forum and this particular subject, it was really refreshjing to see someone that shared my view about the watered down value of the traffic from a site which does reward click throughs.
Whether you approve this post or not at least since you are moderating, I am sure you will see it and my main purpose was to commend you on the answer you gave.

Hi there.
I know I started off on a few forums like this one in the past…
This was because I KNEW NOTHING and not knowing the main factor in posting and how to go about doing so.
So I agree with all the Vibes.
This cause me and my company harm in the pass for not knowing how, due to this I have took a back step and redirect my focus on my company script and power to bring out a faster and better SITE with lots of great stuff added in the accounts area for advertisers and still adding more…with our new improve “affiliate program”
(Which I will explain later) so we have a better running site today and faster also.
And with better understanding how these forums work…
PHP POWERE AND MYSQL…DATA …..POWER IS THE LIMITS...
I plea to take a look at it…..demo on the accounts upon request.
Affiliate Program.
Ok about the affiliate program which so many of us way on TWO sides.
Some of us think that paying on click bid” hurts U while others say paying just on deposit. Only!
I don’t think any one hurts you just how u run YOUR program and who is your affiliates that’s what matters.
There are many BIG players in this game offer just “as” or the same ….
Security is a major factor if your site can’t provide…then this becomes a big problem for you and the only way to go which best fits your site...security...
For Us..WE HAVE MAJOR SECURITY IN PLACE.
e.g...
What security we offer advertisers..
Here is just a small taste of what we offer and there is more upon request
1.)
Allow / Deny traffic from Countries
We now put you in control of "your traffic" and where it comes from. You can now personalize country protection for better targeted leads.
2.)
You will only be charged for the first visit to your site (within a reasonable window of time24 hour} per IP.)... so if someone visits your site, backs up, visits another site, then comes back to yours, you will not be charged a second time. We actually go one step further. If someone searches on "Computer" and finds your site, then clicks on it... and then does a different search such as "Electronics" and finds your site again and clicks on it, you will not be charged a second time.
So many of us started out with smart search script. I did also.
So if U using the “smart search” script you don’t have this feature to offer your advertisers ( I know) and the affiliate program has holds in it..
But we don’t use the “smart search” script anymore and know we can offer you this type of security….
They are not many search engines out there that give the advertiser to allow or deny users by country.
I think this is TARGETED VISITORS to your site.
With the security....
I want to say thanks to “Doug” and the rest of YOU” for your comments. And I will be more active in these forums.
Thanks

Thanks for that Bobby! :)
By being a good member in here would give your site credibility.
Your biggest problem is that anyone can buy a script and be a PPC search engine. It is not hard with thousands of these sites springing up on the net. It will be difficult distinquishing yourself from all the rest.
By posting in here regularly, you build up things.
Good luck to you!

You are 100% correct anyone can buy a script and have a site today..like a search engine.
I started out with the "smartsearch" script and got my self in to some problemssssssss...
This i why i re-group and come back<
with what i think is better.and faster..
And better understanding.
Also a major part of running any company is how U run your "ship"
you would not let your SHIP sink or run on EMPTY. but at the same time you want a stable ship..for "ALL"
A emty ship create's problems ..
A sinking ship ..is going" and is vital to do anything to get help.
So balance is a big part of running a company.
We at LookQuick has the balance, and can say" we are a more understood company and how things work and how to create a more advertiser likeness...
Thanks agian DOUG..
Yes i will be lot more active.
Thanks for your support..
