Which 2nd Tier PPC Search Engine Gets the Best Results? Take Our Poll!
March 9th, 2009 | Joe | 2nd & 3rd Tier Search Engines


Google, Yahoo, and MSN are the dominate PPC search engines. Okay, Google is the really the dominate search engine and Yahoo and MSN try to keep up. However, there other PPC search engines that can generate results – but with nowhere near the volume of Google (or Yahoo or MSN).

We know that 2nd tier search engines have gotten a bad rap in the past, but we’d like to find out if you (our wonderful readers) have had good experiences with these lesser-used, lesser-known search engines. If you’ve had a good experience with one of the search engines below, let us know!

    I don’t think of Business.com as a second tier search engine. Sure, they have less traffic than the ‘Big 3,’ but they’re more of a niche engine serving a particular audience. For my B2B clients, Business.com is a top producer, not only for conversion rate & cost/lead, but also for lead quality.

    Is there any way to change the display of the results graphic? When I view it I see many of the values in the pie chart too close together to read. It would be great to see the absolute numbers in addition to the percentages. Thanks!

    @ Lindsey: That’s a good point you make. Thanks! Yes, I guess I was thinking in terms of volume (click, leads) as compared to Google.

    @ Andy: Let me see if I can get this to update on the results page. And we’ll post the results of the survey in the next day or two.

    Great poll question! Ask has solid traffic that converts. 7Search works well too, but the traffic trickles in. I don’t currently use AdKnowledge, but it seems to be working really well for people here. Please be sure to post the final results as the chart is hard to read. Thanks

    @ Ryan: Thanks! Actually, as of yesterday there have been some false submissions for AdKnowledge which we will remove from the final survey results, which will be posted in a couple days. Thanks again!

    @ Joe: Can we see how many people answered the survey?

    @ Lindsey: C’mon, you obviously work there.

    @ Anon: I’ll have that information posted with results next week! Thanks for participating!

    Not trying to be cynic but charts can be easily manipulated. I never even heard of adknowledge until today. Throw this poll over at wickfire, digitalpoint and warriorforum and let’s see how they vote.

    @Jake: We welcome cynics! I will post the survey to a few forums today. You are correct: charts can be manipulated easily. We’ll take this into account when tallying the results. Thanks!

    Joe do we know who won yet?
