Advolution Help - The next revolution in search engines

For a brief overview of Advolution, please see the About Page.

Stop renting your keywords by the click.

Advolution is not a not pay-per-click ad system, but rather a pay-for-position search engine. This means:

You pay only once to have a listing associated with a search term. Search results are then sorted by how much was paid for each listing (with ties sorted by the older listing).
Advertisers (and searchers!) get the benefit of pay-per-click without having to pay for each click (or worry about click fraud and such).

Join the Advolution!

Advolution is designed from the ground up to provide a compelling experience for both searchers and advertisers (and there is still much more to come!)

All Advolution search results pages have links that also pull up search results directly from all of the major search engines - making it easy for searchers to use Advolution as their starting point for search.

Searchers either get quality Advolution listings or can click through to get additional results at any or all of the other search engines.

As more and more advertisers discover Advolution and the possibility of freeing themselves from pay-per-click, they are a potentially overwhelming force in encouraging others to also join the Advolution...

Meanwhile, Advolution is still very new, so many search terms have no or only a few Advolution listings associated with them.

This makes it the perfect time to add your listing - as it can then be at the top of many search results with a very minimal outlay (bidding starts at just $1).

Early Bird Bonus

As a special reward to everyone showing up early for the Advolution, we will be giving you credit for 5 times whatever you bid for a listing.

This is like buying a dollar bill for two dimes - which makes it especially sweet to think that your competitors who find out about Advolution after this 5X special is over will have to pay full price to try to catch up with you in the search results...

The whole Advolution site is set for this 5X special (so there is no need for discount codes or secret handshakes), but only for a limited time, so bid early and often and join the Advolution today!

Advolution Listings and “Family-Safe”

Listings have a maximum of 75 characters (including spaces) in the Title, 150 characters in the Description, and include a link to your website.

Every listing submitted is categorized as Family-Safe or Not-Family-Safe.

Unless BOTH the listing AND the site it links to are Family-Safe, it is considered as Not-Family-Safe.
Both types of listings are available to searchers, but the Not-Family-Safe listings require an extra click to go to the http://adult.advolution.com side of the site (and visa versa).

Adding a Listing from a Search Results Page

To add a listing to Advolution, start by either by going to your Account or simply doing a search for the term that you would like your listing to be associated with.

From the search results page you can check to see the current level of bidding (the last number of a listing is its bid amount), decide how much you would like to bid, and then click the "Add your listing to this page" link.

You can then create a new listing or choose from one of your existing listings.
You can add additional search terms that you would also like the listing associated with.
All bidding is currently done in whole dollar increments (with one dollar thus being the minimum starting bid).
All listings associated with a search term are sorted in bid order (highest bid first) with ties sorted by the age of the listing (oldest listing first).
Listings that have a zero (0) after them are supplemental non-paid listings that drop off as paid Advolution listings are added.
Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, and PayPal are all accepted for bid payments.

Your Advolution Account

Your Account is your Advolution control center where you can:

Create new listings.
Edit your existing listings.
Add additional search terms to your listings.
Change the search terms your listings are associated with.
Increase the bids for your listings.

Increasing Bids

If other advertisers end up bidding more than you for a search term, your listing may not display as highly in the search results for that term as you might like.

From your Account you can always add additional funds to your previous bid to move your listing higher in the results.

An example: If your current bid of $10 puts your listing in position 3 for a search term and the current high bid (the first place listing) is $15, you could increase your bid by $6 for a total new bid of $16 (you would only pay for that additional $6). That would then make your listing the new current high bid and put you in position 1 for that search term.

Changing Search Terms

If the bidding for one search term proves to be too competitive for you, you can also always change the search term that your bid is associated with to a search term where your bid can place your listing closer to the top of the results.

An example: If your $10 bid puts your listing for Search Term A in tenth place, you can change it to Search Term B (where that same $10 bid may put your listing in a much higher position).
