List of Weird Sites that Waste Budget on 7search - Check it out!

13 replies
I found a bad performing sites on 7search (using Prosper202) that waste tons of my clicks/budget and look totally weird like single-page sites made specifically for search:

At the same time - they are the highest traffic-makers.

If you need - i can provide list of subIDs (###AFFID### and ###RID###) for the above as well.

Are these sites on your blacklist yet?
Any comments are highly welcome.

    I check that post - it's only technical guide on how to block bad subIDs. I knew that before.
    The reason for this thread is to show people what weird sites 7search have for PPC traffic and if someone has also identified those as poor performers - add them to a common blacklist.

    Does anyone really get results on 7 search? I feel like it's just a glorious old school FFA farm with existing traffic that the owners feel that sell traffic still.


    I think the best part about them is their daily magazine.

    I have only had active campaigns with 7search for 2 days, but I do notice that most of my clicks are coming from the same AFFID, and so far no conversions.

    I still have a lot of testing to do before I go blaming traffic quality, however.

    I'm doing appropriate tracking. The hard part for me is coming up with good ad copy to test...

    Your list is too short. I have a longer list of these crap domain names. You'll take some time to gather enough data to keep your campaigns profitable with 7search.

    I think you should focus on brand names and trademark keywords with 7search to ensure quite quality traffic as most generic keywords send almost crappy traffic and need a lot of optimization (negative keywords + blocking bad domain names).

    So, i think blocking domain names (not just SUBIDS) is a must with 7search to get satisfying +ve ROI.

    Blocking subids is not enough as those subids sometimes come from the same website at different placements for example you can get something like this 5541-596 and another subid is 5541-9877 so it can be the same domain name have sent the junk traffic.

    I hope that helps.

      7search is nothing but a conglomeration of weird sites. It draws traffic from a sort of b-rated segment of the internet, so to speak.

      This doesn't mean the traffic won't convert. I won't say it is the greatest quality traffic, but you can get a lot worse.

      7search is best used as a test bed for your offers, ads, and keywords. Once you find a winning combination, you'd do well to test it on a more reputable PPC network.

      Or, just keeping using 7search. There is money to be made there...
