Why? Because Homestead focuses on selling us Searchlight instead of teaching us how to optimize our pages for organic traffic and making it easy for us to submit our sites to the search engines like you did before selling the Searchlight product.

No, Homestead SearchLight doesn’t work that way. Google Adsense puts ads for other businesses on your site, so if visitors to your site click on them, you get revenue from Google. Sounds like that’s what you’re using. SearchLight, on the other hand, places your ads on, and this is important, <em>search engine results pages</em>. And not just Google; SearchLight places your ads on over 30 other search engines as well. That way, people searching for products and services in your market niche will see your ads as part of their search process, and be able to click on them to find you. It’s an efficient way for your business to reach new people. Hope that helps! Hi Randy, thanks for the question. No, Homestead SearchLight doesn’t work that way.

I use them on my hobbyist cooking site www.lovethatkimchi.com I don't buy the words but simply use the advertising on my site for a pay per click revenue.

That way you only pitch to the people you want. Hope that helps!
