I agree with some parts of the article. We have a bid system for our search

engine and from 2p per click you can get listed in a day.  Banners are an

expensive but I do not see them being a complete waste of money.  We used

them to kick start the site and get some start up traffic.  Banners get

under 1% click through and our search results first page of links get 47%.

About 80% of users take our first five links. So you would need a hell of a

lot of banner ads to direct the same traffic as a listing in our site or any

other search engine.


Thank you,

I've just read an article in Internet.Works about how search engines are the

main method to generate traffic and that banners are a waste of money.


Is there any other way of getting listed on main search engines apart from

manual submission? What's the secret?


And are banners a complete waste of money?
