Question for successful 7search marketers

3 replies
Hey everyone,

We're new here, so here's our story: we developed a proprietary platform powered by a series of algorithms, allowing us to generate up to 4,000,000 intent-relevant text-based PPC ads for networks like Google Adwords and Bing. Without going into too much detail, we can create specific account structures and ad formats automatically, allowing us to create intent-relevant text-based PPC ads. The more relevant the ad to the search query, the more likely a conversion will occur.

Our goal with 7search is to primarily measure the success of Ad --> to --> Offer funnels when used in conjunction with our algorithms. As many of you may know, Google Adwords doesn't allow direct linking to offers, so 2nd tier networks are great testing grounds for our technology.

I've spend the last few hours reading reviews about 7search, and I really don't care about all the bad reviews. Since I don't have enough information regarding someone's account / campaign / keyword selection / match type selection / negatives / ads -- I can't really say whether or not their "bad review" is due to bad marketing strategy. So I'll do my own tests to gauge 7search's performance. I do have a strong feeling that marketers who don't understand PPC on a fairly advanced level, can make costly mistakes and give up quickly.

What worries me about 7search more than anything at the moment, is the "bad traffic" coming from bots. So my questions to the community are:
  1. Is bot traffic really an issue with 7search?
  2. Is conversion attribution between 7search click data / conversion problematic?
  3. Are there ever discrepancies between 7search clicks and clicks reported by affiliate program dashboards?
  4. How can you solve bot traffic if directing traffic directly to an offer page? (not our own landing page)

    Well Bot Traffic is an issue with 7search and Many Others. That said 7search has good traffic that will cost you low.

    You need to advertise get Data and Then Blacklist the Bad sources in your 7search Platform.

    Thank You

      Hey Sameer,

      Thanks for your insights -- As far as being able to identify the bad sources, we'll need some kind of tracking tools in order to identify the sources driving traffic to the offer page? Remember, we're planning to direct link to the offers, so we can't technically install Google Analytics tracking pixels to measure things, since we don't own the domain.

    IMO the biggest thing with 7search is it takes good tracking and some time to weed out the bad traffic.. also they don't have as much traffic as others (such as Bing and Google)
