Searchscout.com makes me want to

Searchscout.com

crime does pay, number 21 on alexa, all overture results.


if I could see the search revenue reports, or get a screenshot, I'd jack off to it all day long.


maybe scruples ARE for suckers....

For some traffic he will shve his ass and walk backwards... ya know those popups killed that profit margin.

Looks like Froogle tied into an Overture back end. Interesting.

[slavdogg]

yeah Searchscout has a big chunk of the market.
i believe Gator, the parent Co makes about $100 million a year.
and most of it from PPC rev

[Dravyk]

Gator? As in the original scumware folks who stole everyone's traffic with their program that added links to people's pages? Figures.

[pushpills]

Didn't realize that was gators, figures.

Alot of heavy hitters in the top 100 of alexa are scumware. Interesting overture will deal with anyone to raise profits.

true enough. interestingly though, for the highest bidded ppc, they will do business with ANY scumware related site. $$$$, i'd get into scumware but I doubt any webmasters would want to be involved with me over the years. I also think it's wrong to ruin peoples surfing experience, except with popups.

[slavdogg]

i wouldnt call Gator a scumware

im calling 10 out of the top 100 on alexa scumware.


gator not be the legal defenition of scumware, but it's very scummy ware

[RawAlex]

Gator is scumware. They use the download for a "keep your time on your PC correct" tool as a way to then load a whole bunch of other shit onto your system.

If you download a certain file sharing software, you have to have and KEEP gator loaded, or it stops working.

It's scumware.
