What
is HoundDog?
HoundDog
allows advertisers to list their site in
our search engine and receive visitors at
a cost-per-click basis, as low as $.01 per
click. Our service is much more cost effective than
other advertising methods because our service
is highly targeted. Instead of having your
banner show up randomly on different sites
and
hoping people will click your link, surfers
visit our site looking for specific content
using keywords you relate to your site,
just like any other search engine.
How
much does it cost and how many visitors
will I receive?
A
minimum deposit is $10. You must bid at least $.01 for each
keyword you list. Traffic to your site from
HoundDog depends on many factors. For
example, if you
listed all your keywords at 1 penny
each, and your $10 balance was spent on clicks to your site
using the keywords you had bid 1 penny on,
that would give you 1,000 visits for only
$10!
How
does your ranking system work?
All
ranking is based on advertiser bids. Follow
this scenario: Let's say John places a bid
on the keyword "games" for
$.01. If there are no other bids on that
keyword, John would automatically have the #1 ranking
for that keyword. If you come into the picture,
and place a bid on the keyword "games"
for $.02 , you would then become the #1
ranking site for that keyword, and John,
saying that he is still bidding $.01 for
"games," would be moved down
to the #2 ranking site. 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.
How
many keywords am I allowed to bid on?
As
many as you want. There is no limit to the
amount of keywords you can bid on, as long
as the keywords you bid on are related to
your site.
How
exactly is my balance spent?
Every
time
a surfer clicks on a link to your site after
searching with a keyword you made a bid
on,
the bid amount for the keyword used
to find your site will be automatically
deducted from your account.
Can
I take money out of my account after depositing?
No.
At this time, all deposits are non-refundable.
Do
I receive bonuses with any deposits
I make into my account?
Yes, but only for a limited time. Go HERE to learn about this month's specials.
Affiliates
Who
can become a HoundDog 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.
Do
I need to deposit money into my account
to become an affiliate?
No,
you don't. If you would like to only become
an affiliate, just sign up for a free account
and visit our affiliate section. No deposits
are required to become an affiliate.
What
types of affiliate programs do you offer
and how much do they pay?
We offer a pay-per-click program which
will automatically deposit .25 cents for every click through made from keyword searches originated from your site, deposited directly into your your
HoundDog account. A click through is defined
as a search made from one unique IP address
each day. All you have to do is place our
cut-and-paste code in your HTML and get
it up on the web.
How
do you pay your affiliates?
To
simplify the payment process, all affiliates
are paid straight into their HoundDog
account. In the future, we may start sending
actual checks in the mail, but for now we
are sticking with our automatic crediting.
What
happens if I am caught cheating or spamming?
If
we find out you are artificially sending
searches or using any method that is not acceptable
to send searches(e.g.
spam), you will first be notified and warned
of your actions. If we keep getting complains
or suspect you are still cheating, your
account will be immediately terminated, and
we may contact the proper authorities.
