What is a pay-per-click search engine?
Also known as a bid-for-placement or CPC search engine, WebsiteHostGuide allows you to "buy" a position in search results seen by our visitors. To buy a position, you bid a certain number of cents per click on a keyword phrase.
For example, if you were a bicycle shop, you may want to bid on the keyword phrase "Perl CGI Coders". Let's say that there are currently 3 other advertisers bidding on this keyword:
Mary's Code Shop - Cost to Advertiser: $.05 Joe's Perl Shop - Cost to Advertiser: $.03 Sally's CGI Script Shop - Cost to Advertiser: $.02
If you bid one cent per click (the minimum), you would be in position #4, just below Sally's CGI Script Shop. If you bid 4 cents, you would be in position #2, just above Joe's. If you bid 6 cents, you would be in position #1 and receive the most traffic.
The "cost to advertiser", also known as the bid price, is how much that advertiser is charged when a visitor goes to their site. So in the example above Mary is paying 5 cents per click to be in the #1 position. If Barry does a search on "Perl CGI Coders" and clicks on Mary's search listing, Mary's account is debited 5 cents. When Mary's account runs out of funds, Mary's search listing is removed automatically and Joe's search listing would move up to position #1.
What happens if my competitor just keeps clicking my listing over and over?
WebsiteHostGuide has advanced security measures in place. Blocking "multiple clicks" from the same visitor is one of our most fundamental click blocking technologies. If we didn't protect our customers we would not be around very long!
How much does it cost to open an account with you?
New users can open an account for FREE. The minimum deposit for existing customers is $5.
Are the funds that I deposit refundable?
Due to the amount of time that we dedicate to setting up new accounts, approving listings, etc, any and all initial and/or first time deposits to WebsiteHostGuide.com are non-refundable.
Are funds earned from the affiliate program paid out to me?
Yes, credits/funds earned from our affiliate program are payable to you. However, signup bonuses and trial balances are not payable and may only be used for advertising on WebsiteHostGuide.com. We determine once that the bonus or trial balance has been used then remaining funds are available for payout. We pay by US check or by PayPal transfer. A $75 minimum balance is required for payout. Just indicate your preference when making the request in your account management areas.
How do I know when the money in my account is almost gone?
When your account gets low, we will notify you via email approximately 3 days before the funds run out as well as when they actually do. You may also check your statistics in te members area and add money at any time.
What methods of payment do you accept?
We accept payment by credit card (Visa/MC/Discover), debit card, PayPal, personal check, or money order. PayPal payments get an additional 25% to 50% of the deposit amount added to your account once we manually verify the payment.
What if I don't have a credit card to make a deposit?
WebsiteHostGuide will also accept check and money orders. When you open up an account, simply send us a check or money order and we will activate your account upon receiving your check. Make sure to make the check payable to: K-Factor Technologies, Inc. Our Mailing address is:
K-Factor Technologies, Inc.

Provo, UT 84606
Do you have any startup or monthly fees?
No, there are no startup fees and no monthly spending requirements and/or limits. The only requirement is that your account be funded for you to receive advertising. Your bids will stay active until you have used up all of your deposited funds.
What is the minimum bid per click?
You can bid as little as 1 cent per click. The more you bid per click the higher you are listed. You determine how much you are willing to pay.
How does the Bid-Per-Click system handle tie bids?
If two or more keyword phrases are bid upon at the same price, WebsiteHostGuide will give the keyword phase to the first advertiser who bid on that keyword phrase the higher position in the search listings. For example, if there are 3 advertisers who bid 5 cents on a keyword phrase, they will be listed in order of "seniority" at the 5 cent price.
How long does it take to get listed?
Our online sign up process can take as little as 2-10 minutes to sign up. Simply visit the "Sign Up " section of our site to access our online form, fill out the requested information, and then verify your email address.
Once you complete your signup, add bids for the keyword phrases you wish to use, you will receive verification via an email confirmation from WebsiteHostGuide once each listing has been approved. Time for listing approval takes anywhere from 1 hour to two business days, depending on volume. Weekends and Holidays can add time to the approval process.
Can I use any keyword phrase I want?
Since WebsiteHostGuide is dedicated to providing our customers and advertisers the best possible search results possible, we reserve the right to deny key words and/or listing content to advertisers on the basis of relevancy and appropriateness.
Do you have a tool to see how often a certain term is searched?
Yes, we have a free tool called "Keyword Tool". This tool lets you see how often any keyword in our system has been searched in the last 30 days. This tool is available in the listing manager.
Do you have a tool to see the top bids for a certain term?
Yes, we have a free tool called "Keyword Tool". This tool lets you see all the bids on a keyword phrase so that you may optimize your bid amounts. This tool is available in the account and listing manager areas.
