Altavista vs Google

[AzteK]

Alta Vista's traffic is better or Google's?

[redbomb]

I'm assuming by better you mean "will use my dialer and make me cash".

AltaVista is probably much much much better, because most people who use Google are big linux-heads, and know a thing or two about computers (and finding free porn).

The dumber the better, you want the people who are new to the net, and searching for the first time. I don't think that's Google http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

I participated in Googles AdWords program, and concluded basically the same thing, the surfers are pretty smart. I didn't do very well with sales...

You do have a point there :-) but what about yahoo that uses google? I don't think people who use yahoo's search are as savvy...

what do you think?

[richard]

you have a point Aztek, surely the Yahoo/Google partnership would mean most of googles searches are made by yahooers? (/any other partners) ?

[AzteK]

mmm I wonder who their other partners are too...I'll have to find that out...

[magnatique]

google is a really big SE if you consider yahoo/netscape uses it...

[Hustler1]

Yea i think the majority of the good traffic that is sent to Google is from yahoo and netscape ... considering yahoo probably has the best source of SE traffic... just my 2 cents

wow Hustler1 we live pretty close to each other ;-) I live in one hour north from you... but anyways I do agree with that I'm better of optimizing my pages for google first then others...

Thanks!

I think Altavista is a lot worse than Google, seeing from the reason it's meant (I mean to be a SEARCH engine, not a dead link depot). Now, if it's good for CJ I dunno, but due to the way Altavista's bot works I doubt you'll get a high listing with a CJ . I got good results with sites like Bomis (http://www.bomis.com/ ) and 6finder (http://www.6finder.com) since both are oriented to adult surfers, but I don't know if they accept CJ sites. 6finder has a search bot, so maybe it's easier to be listed

I wasn't thinking about optimazing a CJ and submitting it... I was more thinking about mini sites, then linking those to my CJ..
