People Searches--Is This The Real Deal?

A few days ago I signed up with a people searching program.

Why? Well out of all the hundreds of online business sites, I am constantly seeing, this one looks really promising.
Why again? Apparently, trying to find lost friends, relatives, work colleagues etc. is involved in a massive 30% of all searches on Google. This must make it the biggest niche market, by a distance. And we are always told to"find our niche".

Now the first thing I have to say is that this program isn't free, but I think it's worth having a go at, and I will be letting you know how lucrative, or not, it is, as soon as it becomes clear.

Here is an overview of what's involved when you sign up.

First of all you have to choose, and then pay for, a domain name for your own people search website. I chose--- http://www.peoplelocata.com/
You have to pay for hosting, and you are given a link to the hosting company that the people search program is synchronized with.

Now you have your own people search site, and, as is usual with most online businesses, you are an affiliate for the program you have joined, giving you two prospective sources of income--- people, searching for people, and referrals.

With everything set up you will actually have three websites to promote.
Mine are as follows---

People search site--- http://www.peoplelocata.com/
Referral pre-sell site--- http://viralurl.com/extrasec/searches
Referral direct link--- http://peoplelocata.com/tissa.htm

At this point most programs leave you on your own to find ways to promote your sites.
Many will give you advice, or tempt you into upgrading so you can email your downline, get bigger commissions etc.

However Acme-people-search is different.
For a monthly fee, they will promote your search engine, on Google, Yahoo, MSN and others. using Pay per click etc.

Anyone who has tried ppc, and lost money, will know how complicated it is, and be relieved to have someone, with expertise, doing it for them.

Even better they give you a month's free trial, which involves 100 clicks, and if you're not happy you don't have to subscribe.
To make this offer they must be very confident of results, and of course you can still do your own promotion as well/instead.

And here's the best bit, they give you $125, just for signing up.
This easily covers your start up costs-- only thing is, they don't pay out until you reach $200, so you have to do some work and give the program a little bit of time before you receive this, but it's certainly a worthwhile incentive to give it a go.

Anyway that's what it's all about and I will report back when I see how things pan out.
