Dear SearchTraffic affiliates:
First let me wish you all a happy new year and pass on our wishes for a healthy and prosperous
2001.
Now on to some important news:
1) We have introduced "themed" search boxes that contain TEXT LINK searches! These boxes pull in
huge amounts of searches and you get paid the same rate as if the surfer had typed in a term and
pressed the "submit" button.
Free Stuff

and many other themed boxes are ready for you. Just log on to your stats page at
http://www.searchtraffic.com/checkStats.html and click on the "Your Linking Codes" link.
We also added a handy "Search Box Wizard" to make custom search boxes for you in any size or color
you like.
2) Starting January 15, 2001 all pre-entered terms must return a bidded result of AT LEAST $0.10
(ten cents).
-This has no effect on any terms the surfers enter themselves.
-It is only applicable if you wish to pre-enter a term in the search box you place on your site.
-Please do a search on any terms you wish to pre-enter and make sure the bidded result is .10 or
higher.
-If you are using pre-entered terms that may be of seasonal value or faddish ("Halloween",
"Pokemon", etc.) please check regularly to be sure the bid on these terms remains above .10.
Keep in mind that small changes in the terms can make big changes in the bidded price.

All return very different results. See what comes up with the highest bidded listing and use that.
As you are well aware the internet advertising market is tightening up. Many companies are
closing, changing to a second page click payout, or lowering payouts altogether. SearchTraffic is
committed to not only maintaining our high payout rates, but to giving our affiliates new tools
(like our themed, text link search boxes) to help you increase the income generated by your
website.
SearchTraffic was the first independent search affiliate program and it remains the leader today.
This minor change will keep the program's high payouts in place by assuring good, valid results for
you, the surfer, and our search engine partners.
3) Our PopUpTraffic program has introduced PopBehinds at a great $2.00 CPM rate! With this
program you can now place on your site the standard PopUp window ( $3.00 CPM) or the new PopBehind
(or both!). Many new websites have sprung up copying our idea for PopUpTraffic. But they all have
some type of "catch." Most used multiple windows, time delayed windows, or popups that spawn
countless other popups.
PopUpTraffic's windows are small, fast loading, and NEVER spawn other windows.
http://www.popuptraffic.com has all the details.
Thanks for your time. Please direct any questions about this mail to
questions@standardinternet.com
Normal questions about your SearchTraffic account can be sent to admin@searchtraffic.com or visit
our web forum at http://www.sictalk.com/cgi-bin/ubb/Ultimate.cgi
Bit odd, eh? AltaVista lowers payments then Standard Internet respond in under 6 hours! Oh well still sounds like a good program!
