Lol, I'm getting traffic from "Publishers Clearing House"

I could find someone on fiverr that looks like Ed Mcmahon & holding a big check.

I have no idea If PCH traffic is converting, I just noticed a few traffic hits from their search pages. I would imagine PCH traffic would convert really well (with the right product) since most of those people on that site are dreamers.

What are you talking about mate?

It's called google search partners.
The point is that they show the same results just like google, exaggerating though on adword results.

They get paid from their adwords text ads, and google gets the share. That's how it works.

The other question is how do they do get the traffic - most of the "google partners" get traffic from adware and all sorts of dubious toolbars that sneakily replace your homepage and search providers to these of the "partners".

Most of the users still don't give a shit, they just type their search wherever they could, as they launch their browser, so as a publisher you would still get your quality traffic (and even at a much lower cost, if you run the adwords ppc).

You can bet I'm ranking pages, PCH is scraping the best (read that) ranked pages in Google & Yahoo SERPs.

That traffic might be searching because of the contest but they're still searching for keywords that have nothing to do with PCH or any contest, I know, I have the search strings/URLs/keywords the traffic used to get to my sites pages.

PCH is doing the same thing ask.com has been doing for a couple of years, partnering up with major SERPs (Google, etc...). When you rank a page in the real SERPs (Google, etc...) the partners scrape the ranked page/s, you'll see when you rank a page on Google, it'll happen, have patience.

I already knew that ask.com was doing this, I've been getting that traffic for a long time, just thought it was funny PCH even had a search page, let alone people using PCH to search the web.

You might think that PCH traffic is minimal, but I'm sure that's the exact type of traffic that would buy into MLM products (dreamers). Anyone that doesn't think MLM is big money, take a gander at Amway (almost $11 billion in 2011).

BTW, I'm not suggesting to go all MLM on anything, just saying PCH traffic most likely has a dreamer mindset which is more likely to convert into a sale with the right products.

Party on...
