I can't recommend Kanoodle either based upon my
experience testing them.

        1: Kanoodle claims to have sent us 2404 visitors
    within a given time period. We were only able to
    confirm seven (7) of them. yes only seven.

We use the Urchin Advanced Visitor Reporting System
on all our domains and we track all inbound clicks.
We have never had this problem with Sprinks, Goto,
FindWhat, etc... only with Kanoodle...


        2: Kanoodle uses "incentive" partners.... read this as
    "We pay people to click listings in our engine"

What #2 means is that you get a very UNQUALIFIED
visitor.. and though you can turn off the "Incentive
Partner" thing it is not very well explained during the
account creation process.

--

Now I own a niched pay-per-click search engine and I am
very familiar with how they work... Kanoodle is
questionable at best and suspect at worst..

My advice would be to use Goto, Sprinks, FindWhat, Mamma
or TheInfoDepot.com and avoid any search engine that
relies on incentive based clicking programs.

Another good resource is
http://www.payperclicksearchengines.com for PPC info.

Hope that this helps.
