2nd & 3rd Tier Engines( Looking For Reviews)

I couldnt find a thread with something like this and I could really use the advice/ reviews. Im looking for ANY reviews, tips advice on some 2nd and 3rd tier search engines. I currently am using, obviously google, yahoo, msn, but 2nd tier im using miva, enhance, ask (which shows googles ads instead of their own, so im not sure why im using this still) and 7-Search. If You guys have any other engines that you can recommend and maybe give a bit of advice on them it would be appreciated. Basically im looking to expand a bit more. If you know of anymore legitimate engines please let me know. Thanks.

anyone, anyone at all.......

Here are few of them:

Info Is MUCH Appreciated, but from what ive seen, and this just may not be possible with 2nd and 3rd tier engines because of googles massive network, Do ANY 2nd and 3rd Tier Engines have their OWN advertising meaning not pulling from google or yahoo? Because from what ive seen out of the top 5 search results on any engine i can find, I am Top 2 of out of 5,them because they pull from adsense or yahoo. Im not complaining about this, Im just trying to conquer and build upon untouched ground. Just wondering if anybody knows of any engines not doing this? Info much appreciated. Thanks

As far as I know Jayde and ExactSeek don't pull pulling search results from google or yahoo.

hi! i've found a chart where you can find relationships of search engines,, http :// www. bruceclay. com/ searchenginerelationshipchart.htm ... hope this will help in this thread....

The problem is this "untouched ground" may be worth less than 1% of the search market in general, and with 2nd and 3rd tier SE you are more subject to click fraud resulting in a very low ROI. I would stick with the major ones for PPC (Google-Yahoo-MSN-Ask) and try out only niche engines such as industry specific portals or country-specific search engines if you plan to go international.

Yes this is true about the 2nd tiers having 1 percent total search volume, but I feel that I cannot keep growing on google / yho etc. at such large increases, eventually it will stabilize which means if I want more money I need to find other sources ( new search engines) of traffic. And I havent really experienced fraud dats, just horrible conversion rates on most of the 2nd tiers, I wouldn't necessarily call it fraud just horrible traffic that doesn't convert, different business models convert completely different than others on any engine. for example my google acct is basically all content traffic, not because I dont get search traffic , but because its more expensive and it does not always convert, thus I push on their content network with an average cpc of 7 cents which gives me a lot ofbreathing room. But yho msn all convert on search and i have a few other engines that work well but are content only. any suggestions of more would be appreciated. Thanks
