Dogpile is one of the Internet's leading 'meta-search engines'. A meta-search engine allows users to easily search many different search engines from one page.

Unlike some other search engines, it is no secret where Dogpile gets its results from. However, being aware of which search engines Dogpile 'favors' can help you appear at the top of their listings.

Although it searches many search engines, Dogpile seems to give preference to sites listed on two pay-per-click search engines, Overture.com and Findwhat.com. Dogpile also includes results from other smaller pay-per-click engines such as Ah-ha and SearchHippo.

Here is an example of what the search results at Dogpile look like:

In the above example, you can see sample listings from both Overture and Findwhat. Keep in mind that Dogpile appears to randomize its results so that the order of listed engines can vary on each search.

The good news is that (depending on the keyword), listings with Overture are available for as little as ten cents per click. And listings on Findwhat start at only one cent per click. Unlike banner ads, pay per click services only get paid when a genuine visitor reads and clicks through to your web site.

Now that you know the basics, you may want to do a search on Dogpile for the keywords you are interested in. Just use the following custom link(s) to search Dogpile
