Bidding Wars Among Webmasters	Search123 is one of the recent search engines to implement a real-time submission and bidding system using the pay-per-click model in which webmasters bid for select keywords. The higher the bid, the higher positioning a website will receive. A website only pays for each click that was generated from a web surfer and no charge is implied for displaying results.
Advantages/Disadvantages of This Model	The Search123 pay-per-performance model is extremely successful for stimulating competition among businesses, however, non-profit organizations and low-budget advertisers will find competing against the major advertisers in Search123 very difficult. Although Search123 does tailor to primarily businesses, its results are distributed quite largely on other websites and search engines on the internet.
Submission Time	Getting listed in Search123 is instant. There are no editorial reviews and listings go up in real-time as they are submitted making this the fastest pay per click search engine we've seen yet. The initial investment is a minimum of $50.00 but can guarantee as much as 1000 clickthroughs depending on how your price your keywords.
