Searchanyway application question

[greenscape]

is their anyone who might be able to give me just a bit of guidance about a request for more info from searchanyway..?

Any help would be appreciated...

I'm going to simply use one of their templates as a search source and click through for PPC with Google adwords as a start....

no need to tell me I'm "green" I know I am...!

I submitted an application to searchanyway, and received what I assume is a standard response letter asking about intent and how I will proceed, with 13 questions(I'm sure they don't expect exactly 13 answers, but still I'm not sure about the general flavor of what they need in response from me).....;

Affiliate Questions

1. Where does your traffic come from?
2. What clickfraud guards do you employ?
3. Do you have your own Affiliates? How many?
4. With whom else do you partner (other PPC?s)?
5. How many clicks a day do you receive?
6. How many searches a day?
7. How many visitors a day?
8. When do you expect to start sending us traffic?
9. What methods of promotion do you use?
10. Do you use incentivized traffic?
11. What email address did you use when registering for an account?
12. Please provide me with the URLs where our feed will appear.
13. What is your Instant Messenger contact info? (ie MSN, ICQ?)

I had indicated on my application that I did not currently have a site, but would have one soon and that I would be using "Google Adwords PPC"

Hey I'm new at this , gotta start somewhere.

I really have no idea what type of reply they are expecting to receive...

I'm open to any help...thanks..!

Never heard of them.

How did you find them?

Even I don't know what answers they're expecting with some of those questions.

Thanks for taking the time to respond, it's appreciated.....
I'll just paste here searchanyway's "about us" kind of
their "mission statement"...;

I've heard of them a lot and have known about them for awhile. From what I remember it was all good. Don't think I've heard anything negative. I think I've talked to them too.

How to answer is easy - just tell the truth.

5. How many clicks a day do you receive? Just starting out
6. How many searches a day? Just starting out
7. How many visitors a day? Just starting out
8. When do you expect to start sending us traffic?
As soon as you approve me and I figure out what I'm doing.
10. Do you use incentivized traffic? Just say no!

In part they are trying to screen for fraud or shady affiliates, in part they just want to see what level you are at and how you plan to promote them.

I'm wondering though if you've run the numbers on doing PPC to this program? Not saying it can't be done, just asking if you've run the numbers? Lets say you are targeting "best car insurance rates". Let's say it costs you 90 cents a click on Adwords. Lets say they can only get 50c a click from their advertisers (because they aren't Google) and pay you 50%. You are paying 90 a click to earn 25 a click - or in other words you are losing 65c a click. (Totally made up the numbers just to throw out an example).
