Heather posts some rather </span><a href="http://www.greeneyewire.com/ppc/why-yahoos-overture-sucks-for-agencies/"><span style="color: #0d1f6b;font-size: 1.2em;">damning criticism of YSM</span></a><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1.2em;">Ive talked with many other people who have basically cut back on Yahoo/Overture and put that money into Google adwords, thats a wise choice in my opinion. Not only does Google adwords produce more focused and qualified traffic, but you have more control, its easier to manage and Ive never had a problem with customer support.&nbsp; </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.payperclickuniverse.com/">Pay Per Click Universe</a> is a <strong>free resource</strong> dedicated to providing <strong>unbiased information</strong> to the small-to-medium sized business owner interested in exploring the world of <strong>pay per click advertising</strong> (PPC).</p>
<p>They have a section where they review each of the pay per click search engines and give what it considers the <a href="http://www.payperclickuniverse.com/top-pay-per-click-search-engines.php">top ten pay per click engines</a>. </p>
<p>They don&#8217;t really list them in order but give each PPC search engine a rating. Google ad words has an overall rating of 8.4, Overture 7.5, Findwhat 4.0 and Kanoodle 1.0. Those are what I always have considered to be the top 4 and really only Google and Overture seem to produce real results. So I would probably agree with those ratings, even though I would put Google at about a 9 and Overture a 7 at best. </p>
<p>They give <a href="http://www.searchfeed.com/">Searchfeed</a> a rating of 8.2 and the user reviews are all pretty favorable, so that might be one to check out. I will sign up for an account and see how it works out and write a review next month.</p>
<p>When doing pay per click projects for my legal clients, I usually try and test out the smaller pay per click engines, but normally what I find is that I get a lot of so called clicks and visitors but no real conversions. </p>
<p>I&#8217;ve also had problems in the past, where the pay per click engine says I got 30 clicks at 25 cents a click BUT my stats program doesn&#8217;t back that up.&nbsp; &nbsp;Ive never had a problem with that at Google or Overture and no doubt those two are the ones to focus on when doing a pay per click strategy.</p>
