Anyone using 7search? (14)
Does anyone using 7search to promote offers from cpa affiliate ( peerfly,ewa network)?
does it still works ?
thanks 
i've used it out of curiosity. didn't make any money but make sure you get the account rep to enable traffic id blocking so you can turn off all the bogus traffic sources. I've heard mixed reports on 7search. Some people have made money with it apparently
ok thanks lancer ....
It might work after you optimize off the bad sources, but you're really limiting yourself in terms of volume potential.
So even if you hit something it's hard to scale. You could expand to other 2nd tier sources, but they all have the same traffic and get their inventory from the same sources. So there's only so much to go around.
It's good for learning maybe but I'd move on as soon as you can. I think AdCenter is a better place to to begin PPC/Search.
ok goodrich i assume you used ad center . I just .. became a member 1 day ago. I m still trying to figure out ( also ...following 40 steps guide) ... i am really motivated and want to take action ..!
I've tried my hand at 7Search a while back, was able to get a few things profitable after some testing. The volume is really lacking though and they used to have a ton of bot clicks and bad traffic that can eat up your budget if you don't optimize them out quick. They're really lax in terms of what they'll let you run and you can get some really cheap clicks even after optimizing but keep in mind they have a revolving door of publishers that push traffic to them so you'll experience a lot of peaks and valleys in terms of traffic quality. Not sure how good their traffic is these days but I heard there were a few guys crushing it with them just last year.
The key to making them work is using A LOT of kw's and getting in touch with your rep and asking them to enable a few interface features that aren't default for most traffic buyers. At the end of the day, for myself, it just wasn't worth the time and effort to keep plugging away with them. But there is definitely some lower hanging fruit out there if you want to put in the work for it.

So which one you use to get more traffics ?
I had the same experience as 403flux. It was the first source I tried. Lots of bot clicks, and I found myself sending in click fraud reports often and blocking pubs a lot, which was frustrating. Also frustrating: no way to easily and accurately split test ads. You've got to basically run one version one day and another the next, assuming you stay in the same position. No automatic bidding is a pain too for campaign management. You could be a in a bidding war and get up to 25 cent clicks, only to have your competitor gone and you're still paying that until you update it.
Dating worked well there, as did polls, but it was very unpredictable. The traffic quality is poor, which I'm fairly certain caused me to get shaved off a dating offer. If I were to use it again, it would only be to scale an already profitable campaign, or to try out polls with zip/email submits again.
I found this post about 7 search by Luke Peerfly pretty useful.
Hopefully it would add more information to you all.

The Luke recent interview with his publisher is using 7 search too. Hence I believe it is still working on certain vertical even of it's not-so-good quality.
I dont think i've ever heard good stuff about 7search...a lot of fake traffic apparently. Its possible to make money with them if your prepared to test from what ive seen on other forums.
Yep, like others have said, it is entirely a case of identifying the sources that aren't frauding clicks/scamming and sticking with the profitable ones.
Like most network traffic sources, rarely is it the case that the entire network is bad, but it can seem like it if you take it as a whole without segmenting targets.
spent 150 usd for gambling niche with 0 lead (not a sale). I think 7search is not a place for gambling. Traffic quality is very low.
