Smart Search v4.35 Deluxe Package.
Not a Deluxe Price!

The professional pay-per-click search engine script for your site!

Smart Search is a unique search engine script like none other available for sale on the Internet. It's called a pay-per-click search engine; advertisers bid on specific keywords to get their websites listed on your site. This is the search engine style that was made popular by Goto/Overture, it has been adopted by Internet giants Yahoo and AOL, and is now used by thousands of other search sites, from small to big. This style became so popular because advertisers can bid as low as $0.01 per click, and work their way up by bidding higher. On sites that use this system, some bids are known to go as high as $5 per click! Believe it or not, but it's the result you get from competitive advertising. Smart Search is absolutely perfect for small to medium size businesses, because of it's low requirements and incredibly low price. This script has become very popular on the Internet today. In fact, we wouldn't be surprised if you find that more than 50% of pay-per-click search sites now use Smart Search. Everyone who buys this script makes their money back in a month, often less, that's what a quality product at an incredible price should do for your business. You will not be dissapointed.

Features:

• Simple, yet effective. Runs fast with or without the optional MySQL add-on (included free).
• Can handle thousands of listings per keyword. That's more than enough (Goto.com has an average of 40 listings per keyword).
• Free MySQL add-on is optional (for those with high traffic websites)!
• Web sites bid money to get listed, and they only pay every time someone clicks through to their site from your search.
• Only daily unique clicks are counted (to prevent fake clicking).
• Fully customizable templates for everything, including the search listings.
• Clicks are counted, the site is charged according to how much they bid, and the visitor is redirected to that site instantly.

Earnings are added to their account and they can view affiliate stats. The program can also pay a commission on deposits made by referred advertisers, as well as earnings made by referred affiliates. A great way to increase hits to your search engine!
• Very unique feature: Optionally let members bid on a "catch all" keyword. This means the listing is displayed for any keyword that has no bids on it, anything from "computer hardware" to nonsense like "aekjfdsjkfds". This is an excellent option for members who don't need targeted traffic, and you can make lots of extra money.
