How do I list my website with Slamdunk Search?
First you have to sign up.
Deposit as little as $5 into your account and begin bidding on keywords.
You can also use your affiliate earnings to advertise your site with
Slamdunk Search. Up
How do I bid on keywords?
After you have signed up and made your deposit, click on "Manage
Listings" then "Add Listing" just fill in the information
then submit! Up
How many keywords can I bid on?
As many as you would like. There is no limit to the amount or type of
keywords you can bid on. Up
How does the bidding system work?
All ranking is based on advertiser bids. Let's say that you place a bid
on the keyword "gardening" for $0.01. If there are no other
bids on that keyword, you would automatically have the #1 place for that
keyword. If someone else places a bid on the same keyword for
$0.02, then they would become the #1 ranking site for that keyword, and
you will be moved down to the 2nd place.
So basically, the highest bidder for a specific keyword will always
receive the highest ranking for that specific keyword, and lower bidders'
listings will appear under the highest bidder in descending order of
their bid amount. Up
Who can become a Slamdunk Search affiliate?
Anyone is allowed to become an affiliate as long as their site(s) do not
contain anything related to warez, porn, hate, or piracy. Affiliates'
sites MUST be written in English.

Do you pay for searches from all countries?
Since our feeds only pay us for searchers coming from specific
countries, as their advertisers have directed them so, we too can pay
for searches coming from specific countries only. These countries
include:
Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Greece, Iceland, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom and United States.
Searches coming from any other countries than the ones listed above in
most cases will, unfortunately, not make any contribution towards the
affiliate's earnings. So please make sure the majority of your traffic
originates from the above mentioned countries. Up
Can I perform my own searches?
You can do a certain amount of searches for yourself, however, you
need to understand the following: PPC Engines in the industry usually
do not allow their affiliates to make searches for themselves. Unlike
a Paid to Click program where users/members just sign in and start
clicking on the link to make money, PPC Search Engines work in a very
different way. We get the search results from certain companies who
are paid by their advertisers to show their results on these companies'
member sites. These companies are also known as feed providers or
feeds. The advertisers pay these feeds, so that they will get visitors
to their web sites and purchase products/services from them. If,
however, PPC engines start allowing their affiliates to search for
themselves, The affiliates will just be visiting these sites to make
money for themselves. This apparently seems fine, But if such is the
case, no one will be doing any purchasing from the advertiser's sites
and there will be no use spending huge sums of money to advertise.
Therefore, All PPC Search Engines pay their affiliates to send other
people to their sites, using their ( affiliate's ) search links/searchboxes/portal
pages, to search for a particular keyword they are interested in and
then view the advertiser's site.

What will happen if I'm caught spamming or
cheating?
Any artificial means of generating traffic including, but not limited
to, hit bots, multiple clicking scripts, open proxy server, targeting
specific keywords, hidden links and incentivizing surfers in any way
or any other similar activity will result in forfeiture of all monies
owed. Spamming or any other such
practice that could reflect negatively on our program are strictly
prohibited. Failure to comply with this request will result in the
immediate cancellation of the account from which the clicks were
generated and may also result in the forfeiture of any funds owed to
that account. Up
Do you allow incentivized searches?
NO, incentivized searches are strictly prohibited. You MAY NOT place our search box on any incentive site or in a paid to search section. You MAY advertise a link to YOUR PORTAL page, as long as your portal page is not placed on an incentivised site. Any member who uses
these practices, risk the termination of their account. In any doubt,
please contact us. Up
Can I target keywords that I know will make more money?
Absolutely No, you can't. Targeting certain keywords is strictly
prohibited. If you are caught targetting keywords you will be warned, if you do not comply then your account will deleted and you will not be paid your earnings!
Targetting keywords is a form a cheating and it will not be tolorated! Up
Do you allow more than one affiliate account?
NO. You are allowed to have only one account. Anybody found to
have multiple acccount will lose all accounts and earnings in those
accounts. Up
I see the following stats in my members area "Your
account balance", "Average cost per day", "Estimated
account depletion" - what do they mean?

affiliate, or how much money you have left in your account after your
deposit. Average cost per day only applies to members
who has listed their website(s) with Slamdunk Search. Estimated
account depletion also only applies to members who have
their website(s) listed. If any of the information does not apply to
