With the current availability of software, both expensive and inexpensive, designed to allow entrepreneurs to start their own Pay Per Click Search Engine, there has recently been a sharp increase in the number of PPC engines in operation. The openPPC Project presents itself to prospective PPC Operators, as an alternative to starting up your PPC from the ground-up. Our alternative is one that is not only viable from a financial standpoint (as shown in the table to the right), but is one that we humbly feel is better philisophically, and more condusive to your long term success as a PPC Operator. Here's why:
-
$0.00 Infrastructure Expense.
No need for software, expensive servers or databases. We maintain and operate a $120,000 server nerve center, and have licensed the database engine, and core software. As an Operator, it's all at your disposal.
-
Greatly Reduced IT Needs
Since we have the charge of maintaining the servers, network, and software, you'll not have to expense any IT staff for security, DBA, or Sysadmin functions. All you need to worry about is design and HTML, and let our support staff handle the headaches.
-
Simple Setup
Your PPC is already running. Once you've been approved as a category operator, all that's left for you to do is to apply your HTML and design to it. If you want to run it under your own domain name, then you'll simply upload 2 files on your webserver and you're off and running. Nothing to configure, install, setup, or bother with. eCommerce integration is already taken care of, as is the entire back-end.
-
You're not alone
Our success, and the success of all of our category operators is directly tied to you. Its in everyone's best interest to assist, support, and help each other. We're here to assist with any technical hurdles, and your fellow Operators are a huge asset in terms of marketing and operational advice.
-
Lean on me....
As a new PPC Operator, you'll have full access to our internal services, which include not only technical assistance, but business assistance. We have lots of docs, tips, tricks, do's and dont's ... all of which are at your disposal. We make every attempt to share every bit of information that we feel can help you out.
-
We need to eat too ;)
Our business development and marketing teams work constantly to promote all of the openPPC search engines, as well as the engine as a whole. While you're perfectly free to persue distribution and marketing deals on your own, we are also exploring every opportunity we can to expand the engine, and help you (and ourselves) make more money.
Interested? Browse our categories, and find your "niche". At the bottom of each category page, you'll be able to tell instantly whether a category is available or not. You can apply directly from any available cateogy page ... you could be in business tomorrow !
