I received this offer to try SearchSpots by Chango which delivers ads only to search targeted traffic coming to your website from search engines in the states and Canada. They are running a 30 day special were you receive 100% of the revenue, so I think I’ll give it a shot and when it’s all done, report back here and complete a full review. Here is the email I received.
Hi,
I’m interested in speaking with you about SearchSpots, the premium search-targeted PPC ads from Chango. I believe we could help [snip] generate ADDITIONAL revenue by specifically targeting your search traffic. Chango ads are 100% search-targeted and can ONLY be seen by visitors who arrive at your site from Google, Yahoo! or Bing.
How are we different? Chango’s ad content is triggered by the keywords your visitor types into the search engine to find your site. This gives us a unique ability to show an ad that directly relates to your visitor’s interest (vs. on-page contextual ads which usually aren’t as specific).
Most Publishers notice a jump in CTR thanks to this added relevancy. For example, say someone does a search for ‘red shoes’ at Google… If they clicked through to an article discussing shoe trends, AdSense would likely show an ad relating to shoes or shoe stores, whereas Chango would display an ad specifically for red shoes. It goes without saying that the ad for red shoes probably interests the visitor more than a generic ad for shoes.
Chango ads are 100% compatible with AdSense and most publishers use a combination of both for the same ad unit (ie: a Chango ad is shown to your search traffic while AdSense – or your preferred ad network’s ad – displays to non-search traffic).
Chango offers a huge range of premium content from high profile advertisers. To better understand how we can help you increase revenue, watch the 2-minute video at: searchspots.chango. com.
I am available by phone or email to answer any questions you have. As an added incentive, we’re currently offering 100% REVENUE SHARE for your first 30 days, with no obligation or strings attached (our standard rev share is 75-25 in your favor). My job is to help our Publishers make as much money as possible with Chango, and it would be my pleasure to assist you.

Review coming soon…
They’re USELESS for most websites as they only count traffic coming from North America. Considering countries like China have the world’s largest number of internet users, shows how fast US companies are falling behind the rest of the planet. Chango won’t be around long, IMO. Too outdated already.
