Does it cost anything to become a member?

It costs nothing to start, we give you $1 to become a Member and open an account. Your account will be debited by the amount you bid on a keyword (most cases a few pennies) each time your listing is clicked and Potter County Pa sends a visitor to your web site.
Top

Why would I want to bid for top keywords?

Potter County is a search engine that allows website owners to pay a small fee (in most cases only a few pennies) in order for their web site to appear in a top search position above other listings. This position can be yours as long as you hold the highest bid. Studies have shown that the top 10 search listing gets clicked on more than 3 times as often as lower listings! If you're looking for a way to advertise your product, service or opportunity to a very targeted online audience, and within your budget, Potter County is your answer. Sign Up Today!

If I bid on a keyword like "computer" and someone searches for the "plural form" "computers" will my listing appear?

No. Searches by keywords and phrases are EXACT. A search for "computers" will not result in a return for keyword "computer". If you bid on a keyword like "computer" and someone searches "computing" or "computer hardware" you should not expect to see it in the top search results if your keyword bid is actually "computers". Our search results are designed to give the searcher EXACTLY what they want. This is one of the reasons we give you the option of having unlimited listings in your account at any time. You can register singular, plural or short phrases that will result in totally different search returns. Bid on as many as you want as long as the keywords you choose are relevent to your website.

If my website is ranked first, second, third, etc... do I hold that position as long as I keep an active account?

No you will move lower in the rankings if someone else bids higher for that keyword listing. In your member area there are tools like the "Keyword Bid Search Tool" and "Manage My Sites" to check rankings and bids so log in and visit from time to time. It pays to be Number One!
Top

How many people or companies will be allowed to bid under a keyword for the top search listings before it is no longer available?

We have no set number at this time. We do know that the top ten search results will get MANY more hits than those below.
Top

Can a web site be listed more than once under the same keyword or phrase?

No - If a web site is already listed under a particular search keyword or phrase, the web site will not be allowed to have another listing under the same keyword or phrase.
Top

How do I determine where I'll be listed under a specific keyword search?

Use your "Keyword Bid Search Tool" located in your members area to search current bids and keyword popularity. Also on the "Manage My Sites" page in your members area there is a button to automatically rank your site number one for a your specific keyword or search phrase.
Top

Is my account refundable?

Due to the fact that a your bidded keyword position may have dissuaded someone else from bidding higher, we can not allow refunds. You only pay for what is delivered since this is a Pay Per Click system. However, the funds deposited in your account are not refundable but must be used up. You can always abandon a keyword and select another if you choose. We feel that this is the fair and equitable way to provide you with assured satisfaction so you'll always be happy with your membership.

How many keywords or search terms can I bid on?

You can have as many listings and bids as you want or need as long as they are not duplicated and relevant to your website.

How much traffic does Potter County receive?

Potter County Pa Search Engine beta launched in April 2004 and had over 50,000 page views during it's first month. Unlike other Pay Per Click Search Engines that charge hundreds even thousands of dollars to open an account, our business model pays website owners $1 to open an account and our generous affiliate program will drive more visitors and page views. Potter County is part of a network that has been in the search engine business since 1998 and our other sites receive over 14 million visitors a year so we are confident Potter County will hold it's own in our network.

Can anyone just keep clicking my listing and deplete my account balance?

A visitor can keep clicking but only one hit per day will register and your account will be debited for only one click. For security reasons we can not divulge how we control this.

What happens if my account balance reaches $0.00?

You will receive an email 3 days prior to your account reaching $0.00. It will include instructions on how to add money to your account. If you do not add money to your account your website listings will automatically be removed when your balance reaches $0.00.

Why would you refuse to let me register a keyword or phrase if it's on my site?

It may be on your site but may not be totally relevant to your site. Relevancy is of the utmost importance to Potter County. Greater relevance results in targeted consumers to your wesites, and more repeat visits by those visitors. That's good for the visitor and for you, our members. Our goal is to create a local search engine in which both our users and members benefit. Users win because they find what they're looking for quickly and easily, and advertisers win by getting heavy targeted traffic to their websites.

A search for Computers would produce the same result as a search on computers.
