Buying Colloidal Silver Products And Generators

Not all brands of Colloidal Silver are equal or of the same quality. Select a brand which is produced by the electro-colloidal, non-chemical method.

? Look at the ingredients to see it contains only silver and de-mineralized or distilled water. If the ingredients include a stabilizer or any other trace elements, it might be a good idea to research this product well.

? If it is suggested that the Colloidal Silver be refrigerated, this is an indication of another element present that could spoil. Colloidal Silver needs no refrigeration and should always be protected from freezing.

? The ideal color of Colloidal Silver should be a golden yellow, unless it is produced in concentrated form to be diluted, in which case it may be a dense looking greenish gray with an orange cast in the light. (Concentrated Colloidal Silver should return to the clear, golden yellow after dilution) A darker color could indicate larger particles of silver, or that the water used contains minerals... so check the product out.

? Colloidal Silver should be packaged in amber or cobalt blue glass, and the product should be stored in a cool dark place.

? Question the product if the directions state: 'shake well before using'. Colloidal Silver should not be shaken or stirred.

Colloidal Silver is sold and packaged in a variety of ways. There are sprays and misters; nasal sprayers and droppers; salves and compress solutions.

Colloidal Silver- Particle Surface Area: Other factors to consider when researching a Colloidal Silver product are: Particle Size and Particle Surface Area, if the information is available. Colloidal Silver products which are actually compounds do not accurately reflect the amount of Silver in the product. Also, it is the surface area of the Silver that must be exposed to the bacteria or microbe, and proteins or salts attached to the Silver particle actually block the Silver from it?s environment.

So, Particle size is extremely important, but for a reason you may not expect. When it comes to Colloidal Silver, the smaller the particle the better.

Typically, manufacturers of Colloidal Silver list the Silver concentration in ppm's- parts per million. This measurment actually refers to weight; the weight of 1 part silver to a million parts water. If the particles are large, the surface area is actually smaller than if that particle were broken down to smaller particles. Picture a Rubik's Cube. In one piece it has a definite surface area; but take it apart and measure the surface area of the smaller parts; break those down again and so on... and the surface area is multiplied exponentially.

Colloidal Silver Production at Home: There is good reason to purchase a generator and produce your own Colloidal Silver at home. You can control the quality and the price. Colloidal Silver can be made at home for the cost of distilled water and your time. These days Colloidal Silver Generators practically run themselves once they are turned on and will turn themslves off, so your time may not be a factor. There are other generators which may require constant attendance to change the voltage polarity every couple minutes when producing concentrated Colloidal Silver to be diluted into large volumes.

If you have decided you are going to produce your own Colloidal Silver at home, there are some things to consider. If you want to produce good Colloidal Silver, a suggestion is to choose a system that uses silver rods and distilled water as the only ingredients.

You will want to use high quality distilled water in producing the Colloidal Silver. Not tap water, well water, mineral water, purified water or de-ionized water. These waters all have too many chemicals and minerals in them and de-ionized water is not sufficiently conductive. The water is very important if you want control over your production. Choosing your brand of distilled water can sometimes be a gamble. A good rule of thumb: don?t buy the cheapest. You may also have to experiment with brands of distilled water. If your Colloidal Silver turns grey or brownish, the distilled water has too many minerals remaining and will not do. If this happens, you should start over with your production.

If the generator manufacturer suggests adding salt during the process to increase electrical conductivity and lessen production time, be warned that you will be producing a silver compound and not pure Colloidal Silver. Silver Chloride will always form in the presence of any salt. Also, by speeding up the production time with salt, you risk having silver particles that are too large to remain suspended in the water for very long and the silver particles will settle to the bottom of the container. It also takes longer for compounds to pass through the body.

As a sidenote? a typical suggested dose for Colloidal Silver is a teaspoon a day. This topic will not be dealt with here, because that is up to the individual. But start out with a low dose to keep the body from detoxing too quickly. Once the Silver goes to work and the body starts dumping the toxins into the bloodstream to be eliminated, you might actually begin to feel under the weather if you ingest larger quantities. If you are sick at the time of starting to take Colloidal Silver, you still want to keep your consumption rate reasonable.

In Closing: Everything we need was given to us from the beginning. Silver was given to us for a reason, and probably not just for fancy dishes and jewelry. There is an abundance of information available on the topic of Colloidal Silver, both positive and negative. Decipher the information carefully and keep in mind, there are no documented cases of a human being having negative consequences from true Colloidal Silver that has been produced with good water and no additives, stabilizers, salts, or proteins. But don?t stop your research here with this writing. Read more; and then some more, and decide for yourself. I did.

Free Viral Traffic Generator


Make Money Using Free Viral Traffic Program

About a month ago I was surfing through all the get rich quick junk I find sent to me in my emails. As usual most of the stuff was the same ol'same ol'- send off money for some fantastic new ebook that ABSOLUTELY will make you rich or some new program that POSITIVELY GUARANTEES overnight wealth without you so much as lifting a finger! We all know how these things turn out - the only good thing about ebooks is that they don't need to be dusted like my hardcover collections. You know you have too many ebooks when you are reading about a new super duper ebook and it dawns on you that maybe you bought the dam thing last year - I hate to admit it but as I was reading a new ebook that I had just bought and downloaded I suddenly realized that I had bought it once before - that really sucks! I am an internet marketers' dream come true!

So anyway...

I was going to say that in the midst of all the crap floating around in my emails I came across a gimmick that I hadn't seen before or at least I couldn't remember seeing it before. I have long since forgotten who sent it to me but that doesn't matter anyhow. The jist of it was a way to get up to one million visitors to your website WITHOUT spending a dime... Yea Sure! Since I am a confessed get rich junkie I just had to follow the link to see what this scam was all about. I buy tons of crap on the net simply because I can't resist finding out what the latest twist is, not because I actually think any of the crapola will actually make me rich.

So what was the twist?

Well, the webpage loaded and I was pleasantly surprised to see a well designed and professional looking site - not the usual garish looking one page sales letter we are all familiar with. A second surprise was the fact that it had a Google page rank of 4 - for the uninitiated this means a couple of things; the site has been around a while and it has a lot of backlinks which means that it is not a fly by night. Good stuff to know but I still smelled a scam and quickly zipped to the bottom of the page, without reading anything, in order to see how much money this "Free" program was going to cost me. Surprise number 3 - NADA, ZIP, no mention of cash at all - holy cow could this be real?

Being a cynic I have got things for free before and got what I paid for - more used up storage space on the hard drive and zero dineros in the bank account. A genuine freebie is always worth a read though, for the entertainment value if nothing else, so I read the 'Free Viral Traffic' spiel. I can't say I did a handstand when I finished but it was an interesting twist on the whole viral/MLM/Pyramid scheme and unlike the usual forms of these projects this one really was free so even if it didn't work at least it would not cost a cent.

So what is it?

Basically it's the old pyramid scheme but instead of you sending money up the chain you have to view 6 websites for about 30 seconds a piece. After viewing each site you are given a code and when you have the six codes you use them to join up and get your own page that allows you to put your ad or website in the first position. The idea is simple enough, over time your ad will get viewed by as much as a million people before dropping off the list. So what? Well most people view the sites and just get the code and move on to the next one - but a small percentage of people will see a site that does interest them and check the site out as well as get the code. If just one percent of the people check out your site you are looking at 10,000 visitors to your site. 10,000 potential buyers for free is nothing to sneeze at. I, of course just had to try this and quite frankly, thought I'd be lucky to get a hundred visitors. That was a month ago... so the results are in.

What happened?

To my amazement the site I used went from about 50 hits a day to an average of about 600 - no sh*t. Now being a complete loser I wasn't selling anything on the site, just giving away free ebooks (to build up a mailing list that I can use one day when I figure out someway to take peoples' money) but I did convert a lot of those visitors (10 - 15 a day)and now I have a fairly good size list. I have re-enrolled on the site with one of my sites that does sell something and after one week I have made 6 sales (yea, I know - I'm not getting rich) but what the heck, I made a little money from something that hasn't cost me one thin dime and I have a decent email list to boot.

So how do you get others to join?

This is always the problem when it comes to these schemes but since there is no money changing hands it is a lot easier finding people to join up. When you join the program you are given a whole bunch of promo tools and ideas. My method simply involved sending a letter to a small list of people I already had. (less than 50)I'm not sure how the folks in my group went about promoting the program but they must have found a way and quickly as it didn't take long for my hits to increase (about a week after I sent out the letter). If you have a website write a little blurb or you're welcome to steal this blurb and post it on your site with a link to your Viral Traffic page.

If you're interested you can join at the link below and it is free so you have nothing to lose.

Note: When I joined I really expected nothing as far as traffic increase - I joined simply because the Viral site is a Google page rank 4 and I wanted the backlink. This is a nice bonus because you will get the backlink as soon as you put your site on the Viral Traffic page.

Later folks and Good Luck,

Join FreeViral Traffic Generator

Article Writing as a Traffic Generator

Article writing can be a scary prospect if you are new to internet marketing and maybe never thought of yourself much as being someone who could write an article and have it published. Something else that many people allow themselves to be put off by is that there are so many methods of promoting products, these days, that it may seem like the most time consuming and yet least likely to be noticed. This perception is false, don?t allow yourself to be misled by it.

For example, think of a more conventional advertising method, like a magazine. Maybe even pick up a magazine rather than just thinking about it, scan its pages and before long you?ll find an article of some kind that highlights a certain product or problem that needs a product to resolve it, and lo and behold, right nearby you?ll also find an advert for the product that will meet your needs in relation to the article you just read!

Just think of how TV advertising is set up to tell a short story about how the product being advertised can benefit the people using it. This again is the equivalent of article writing for the internet. As you can see there are several reasons why article writing is an essential part of your internet marketing:

- A well written article will highlight your business. If your business is new, this can be a great way to introduce yourself to potential customers. An article can tell people what they need to know about you in order to build a rapport with them, what you do, why and how you do it. It will also inform people about your products.

- Article writing, although time consuming, is cheap. Unlike the use of more conventional advertising methods, article writing does not require spending a lot of money to promote your site or product. In fact, if you do have writing skills article writing is free. You can get your article published on websites and not be charged a single cent despite the fact that you will have a one way link back to your site and your product within that article or the resource box that accompanies it.

- A well-written article can generate traffic to your site. Unlike when using banners and classified ads, if people choose to visit your site after reading your article you know that they actually liked what they read and they are already warmed up to your product before they reach the sales page. Articles create a way for people to find your site without having to know your domain name or see your site within the first 10 listed on a search engines results page.

- An article really can prompt a sale, if it was written to explain how your product can solve a problem or meet a need. Sometimes it?s just not enough to put a picture of your product along with a few lines of copy that describe it. This won?t always be enough to get people to visit your sales page.

The best way to use articles to get people to visit your site include:

- Write about niche topics. There are a whole lot of general topic articles already out there on the internet. This leaves a high possibility that your reader might have encountered these before, if your article covers the same points, they may not stay long to read it through and more importantly, may not be interested enough to click through on the links to your site. Your article should have a specific target.

- A good way to grab peoples interest is through story telling, try to talk about your product or service in relation to an anecdote or an incident that really happened to you or to someone you know, (if you are going to do this, be sure to observe the necessary anonymity rules to respect the individuals? privacy). This type of approach will give more credibility to your article and also will give it more emotional impact.

- Use appropriate tone and language when writing, consider your main target group and then ?talk? to them, through your article, the way you would if you were face-to-face with them. Use the language associated with this group. For example, if you?re targeting highly technical individuals, don?t be afraid to talk in technical terms which may be unique in your field of study. Alternatively, if you?re a technical person targeting laymen, make sure you don?t use the technical terms, explain things clearly and simply so as not to bore people because they don?t understand the terminology.

- Submit your articles to the well known. reliable ezine sites where you know that the traffic is heavy. Ezines split their submitted articles into categories and they like you to submit to the one which best suits the nature of your article. Most ezine sites are free, they do not pay you for your writing, neither do they charge you to publish your article and relevant links. Once your article is published and given exposure to the regular clients of that site, if your article is of interest, they become almost like a captive market.

- Ensure that your articles are useful. Remember that people browse the internet for information and that?s the goal of your article, to provide them with good, reliable information. Some of the most successful articles are the easy to follow how-to ones or those that provide easy to follow, yet detailed guides to a particular hobby or resource. If your article is easy to read and understand, people are more likely to read it through (and then be interested enough to click on your links to find out more.

- Sometimes it is a good idea to offer something for free and mention this in your article. Your article should always promote your website?s benefits but not in a sales letter like way. You want to subtly inform people what they?ll get through your website that they won?t get anywhere else. Think about what makes your web-site different so that it stands out from all the rest and then promote that factor.

- As well as including a link to your website, you can encourage readers to email you with their comments and suggestions, if you have written an interesting and stimulating article, people are likely to contact you.

In summary then, I hope to have shown that article writing is an important weapon to add to your internet marketing arsenal. It? cheap, relatively easy to do and it can generate already warm lead traffic to your website. Don?t ignore this.

Choosing The Right Type Of Generator For Your House

Nowadays, can anyone live without electricity? Me neither. If the power goes out for even a short time, it?s pandemonium around our house. No television, no microwave, no dishwasher, no dryer, no stove, no hot water. How will we survive? How will you? If you have a generator, you may never have to find out.

Portable and permanent are the two basic types of generators. The names say it all. Portable generators can be carried with you, and permanent generators are just that ? permanent.

Since portable generators can only generate a small amount of electricity, they will only allow certain small appliances to run. Obviously, you will not be able to use a portable generator to apply power to your entire house in the case of a power outage.

Portable generators usually operate on gas or propane. Fuel tanks are built into the generator. Some portable generators can be plugged into an outlet. These are great for activities that require electricity without having to run three or four extension cords.

There are a couple of disadvantages to using a portable generator. One is that you have to manually start it. The other disadvantage is that you have to be sure to have the fuel on-hand for immediate use of the generator, if the power goes out. Once the main power has returned, you must also manually turn off the portable generator.

Portable generators can range from delivering less than 1 kW to delivering 15 kW. Of course, larger generators are available that can be towed to wherever you need the generator that produce 200kW or more. There are some portable generators that will produce up to 6,000kW!

Permanent (or standby) generators can power your entire house or business in case of a power outage. This type of generator is direct-wired to the building?s electrical system, and it is fueled by the city (or other entity) using gas or propane lines.

The advantage of having a permanent generator is that you don?t have to manually start it, and it can produce up to 20,000 kW of electricity. It automatically comes on when the power goes out and goes off when the power is restored. The disadvantage is that you cannot remove the generator, once it?s installed without a large sum of money, time, and manpower.

Regardless of which type of generator you use, be sure to install it with a transfer switch. This will turn off the home or office?s electrical current connection from the utility company before the generator starts running. By doing so, the generator?s electrical current does not back feed into the utility lines, thereby creating a safer environment for the utility workers.

Different generators with different wattages are offered at different prices. This is to be expected. Before purchasing a generator, whether portable or permanent, be sure to examine your specific needs. You need to purchase a generator that will help you when it?s supposed to.

Check the manufacturer?s warranty and installation/use instructions. Be sure to use your generator safely at all times. Again, be sure to purchase a generator that will sustain you and your family in a time of crisis.

Diesel Engines and Generators. Innovative Genius


Diesel engines are the combined inventions of two specific inventors, Rudolph Diesel and Herbert Akroyd Stuart. The internal engine is strictly from Diesel and the injection system is derived from Stuart. Stuart is best known for his advances in solid injection. Solid injection is derived from compressing fuel to extremely high pressures by means of pumps. It is then forced under pressure through injectors into the combustion chamber. Diesel's original engine injected fuel by means of compressed air into the cylinder. The fuel was atomized and mixed with air and then injected. This was "air-blast" injection. The early models of diesel engines were extremely large and heavy due to the large compressors needed as part of its' fuel injection system. Naval diesels were so large that they needed separate engines just to compress the air required to power the diesels. During the earlier years, the use of diesel engines with automobiles was not feasible.

Today's diesel is a miracle of innovative genius. No longer is the engine serviced by a mechanical fuel pump but by ECM run fuel pumps, which service the individual injectors at the proper and accurate opening times. The distributor pump direct injection method was improved vastly by the Volkswagen Audi group in 1989. The genie in the bottle or the ECM (the electronic control module) made the injection timing, fuel measurement, exhaust recirculation and turbo boost precise and accurate. They provided the incentive for diesels to be marketed to the mass market. Consequently, Volkswagen began selling their Mark 3 Golf TDI very successfully. European automobile manufacturers build common rail direct injector diesel engines, a means where the distributor injection pump is deleted and a high-pressure reservoir stores the fuel at extremely high pressures. The computer-controlled injectors have a precision system actuated by solenoid or even piezo-electric actuators and are used to inject diesel fuel at the correct time. This high performance diesel engine is used primarily for racecars.

So why should someone buy a diesel? Diesel fuel is denser than gasoline by 15%. The diesel engine must be larger in order to put out the same power as a gasoline engine. The size of the diesel engine has with the assistance of turbo charging, precise timing and feed back allowed it to operate under pressures impossible with gasoline engines. This means a more efficient and powerful engine. Therefore, if you want a faster, more economical and environmentally safer automobile then choose a diesel.

If you are concerned about the diesel knock then a diesel rail injection system with a two-stage injection system can completely rid your vehicle of the dreaded diesel knock. In the department of emissions, diesel engines rate very environmentally friendly since they produce little to no carbon monoxide. The higher PM10 (or particulate matter greater than or equal to 10 microns) emission occurs when diesels are not equipped with diesel particulate filters. The other pollutant gases of sulfur and nitrogen oxides are eliminated by catalytic converter.

The diesel is renowned for the power and torque required for towing heavy loads. It is reliable and easier on engines to start than gasoline engines because there is less wear and tear due to the lower pressures. Last, a diesel offers many types of effective and inexpensive fuels such as the biodiesel fuels found in vegetable oils and used vegetable oils.

Guide to purchasing a Diesel Generator


There are many grades of durability of diesel generators on the market. You will find that the larger the machine the more well built it is to withstand the pressures of use. This is the general concept when it comes to the diesel generator that the larger the generator the better it is designed.

It is essential when considering purchasing a diesel generator that you are sure of what kind of use you will be demanding. It is very common for the diesel generators that are larger to be installed on ships as backups during power failures. There are often systems on ships that use power systems that are related to weather. This is not reliable and as such a diesel generator is a good choice. It is better to opt for the larger models as these are very well designed to handle the load.

Many businesses seeking to protect their sensitive computer networks can also depend on the diesel generator. These are excellent sources of power should the power fail. This is also great for medical equipment such as those that are essential in hospitals and can provide performance that is low maintenance.

When deciding which diesel generator to choose it is important that a list is constructed of the various pieces of equipment that will be using the generator power. This will aid in the determination of the total wattage requirements and therefore determine which capacity of generator will be required.

One of the first points when comparing diesel generators is to determine the wattage requirement and compare this to the price of the particular generator. This is essential as it is important not to overload the system and this will determine the best generator to suit your needs. It is also possible for persons with intermittent generator usage to opt for the diesel generator due to all the perks such as reduced fuel costs and maintenance costs.

It is also advisable that when you purchase your generator that you install it with a transfer switch. This may require a qualified electrician. It is also essential that the generator you choose will have adequate storage as this is important in maintaining the right temperature. You may also need other features such as soundproof enclosures depending on your space limitations as the diesel generator can be quite noisy and is best installed away from homes.

Other features that will be needed for your generator include shutdown systems. There are three major shutdown systems available. These are low oil pressure automatic shutdown kits, over-speed shutdown kits and high temperature shutdown kits. These are all necessary for the protection of any diesel generator that you purchase.

Make sure that the diesel generator you choose is run at a low rpm approximately 1800 rpm to ensure long life. It is better to opt for a generator that is the best in terms of fuel efficiency and if you can opt for a brand name. They may be a bit more expensive but they will tend to have better warranties than the other generic brands on the market.

Introduction to the Diesel Generator

There are several types of fuels that can be used for generators. It is however seen that the diesel generator is normally the choice of the commercial generator user. This is due to their ability to be both very portable and powerful making them suitable for a wide range of uses. In addition to these features there is also the added benefit of being dependable. The typical diesel generator is run at 1800RPM and is water cooled. This makes them great work horses as they are able to run for longer periods of time when compared to the gasoline generator and without much maintenance work required. They are also cheaper to operate due to the low fuels costs as compared to the other types of fuels such as gasoline and propane as well as the lowered maintenance costs due to there being no spark plugs and carburetors.

The diesel generator operation is similar to that of the diesel engine. There are two types of diesel engines. The 2-stroke and the 4-stroke operation are the two types. The 4-stroke operation is the one that is typically used in diesel generators. This process as the name implies uses four strokes.

The first stroke is the power stroke where a fine mist of diesel is sprayed on top of the piston in the hot compressed air space. The fuel is then ignited and the air on top of the piston expands. This pressure then causes the piston to move down and this motion is converted to a rotary motion by a rod that drives the crankshaft.

The next stroke is the exhaust stroke which is initiated by the momentum of the crankshaft turning and the piston then moves up. The next stroke is the suction stroke and this is when the piston reaches the top and the momentum continues so that the piston reverses in direction. The piston then moves down and the compression stroke is next where the direction of the piston is again changed after the lowest point. This cycle continues for the operation of the diesel generator.

Although the diesel generator is by far the cheaper generator overall it can cost a lot more to set up initially and this can be a deterrent to many generator users. The generators are also not as clean burning as the other fuel generators although this has improved much in recent times. The diesel generators may also require a larger store of fuel but this is much safer to store than gasoline. Another disadvantage of the diesel generator is that it can be a lot more noisy compared to their counterparts.

Many persons however believe that the savings that can be derived from an investment in the diesel generator are indeed well worth the disadvantages. The savings in fuel and maintenance are immense and the hassle free maintenance is a great plus. This is the reason many commercial generator users opt for the diesel generator. Diesel generators are available in mainly larger designs but can also be found on occasion in smaller units. About the Author

Mini-Sites -- Highly Targeted Sales Generators

If you're looking for a highly effective method of increasing your Internet sales, then mini-sites may be your answer. Mini-sites are one of the most effective marketing tools online. Not only are they effective, but they're also very inexpensive and easy to create.

The concept is simple. Create a one or two page website that completely focuses on one specific topic. Everything within this page should have one purpose -- getting your visitors to take action.

This page should be neatly designed in standard HTML with no Flash or fancy plug-ins and very few graphics. There should be no banners or outside links of any kind -- nothing that will distract your visitors' attention.

The sole purpose of a mini-site is to attract highly targeted traffic. The more targeted the better. For example, if you have a website that sells a number of products, a good mini-site will focus on one specific product instead of all of the products. You can create a mini-site for each product you offer.

Designing Your Mini-Site

Each mini-site you create should be optimized for that one specific product. Concentrate on just a few keyword phrases, as this will help you to tighten your targeting. Remember ... the tighter the targeting the better.

* Title - Your "Title" should contain your most important keywords. You've probably heard that before, but I've found a slightly different method for optimizing the title. Since mini-sites focus on just one product, place the "most" important "keyword phrase" first. Not just your most important phrase, but the keyword phrase that you think people will use when they do a search. Instead of capitalizing the first letter, type it in lowercase, as most people type in all lowercase letters when searching. This will assist you in ranking higher in the Search Engines for your targeted audience.

* Description - Your description should focus on one specific product and not generalize. Make sure you include your most important keywords towards the beginning of your description. In addition, make sure your description describes your site in detail. You want your potential visitors to know exactly what you're offering. Your description should be less than 200 characters.

* Keywords - Concentrate on just a few keyword phrases.

* Heading tags - Search Engines pay close attention to the text displayed within the "Heading" tags. Place your most important keyword phrase within a "Heading" tag.

* Graphic Alt tags - Place a readable keyword phrase within your graphic "Alt" tags.

* Text - All of your text should focus on your product. There should be no filler text whatsoever. It should have one specific purpose -- getting your visitor to take action. Make sure you include your keyword phrases throughout your text.

If you'd like to set up your mini-site using tables, try to place your "Heading" text above your "Table" code. If this isn't possible, make sure you include your keyword phrases within your top left "Table cell" to assist you in ranking higher in the Search Engines.

Mini-sites are not limited to just your products. They can also be used with any affiliate programs you may be promoting. You can include extra incentives such as a free bonus for purchasing the product or even your personal recommendation. This is a great way to presell the product.

Hosting Your Mini-Site

Although it is much better to have your own domain name, these sites can be hosted on a free server and still rank high in the Search Engines. Keep in mind, free sites do not build trust and credibility. No matter which option you choose, make sure you place your most important keyword phrase (the keyword phrase that you think people will use when searching) within your web address.

Drive Targeted Traffic to Your Site

Once you have tested the effectiveness of your site and have a good conversion rate, (the number of visitors compared to the number of sales) you can buy targeted traffic. Overture is the number one pay-per-click Search Engine and will most likely produce the best results. http://www.overture.com

For additional options, visit: http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com/ They provide information and reviews on a number of pay-per-click Search Engines.

The key to using this technique effectively is to bid on "very" targeted keywords. This will weed out the casual visitors and only attract your target audience. There's no sense in paying for visitors who really weren't interested to begin with.

In addition to bidding on keywords, you can also advertise in targeted ezines and even purchase some targeted banner advertising. Be creative and take the time to test all of your promotions prior to spending a lot of money.
