Pay per ranking

 * - (View AfD) (View log)

Mixup article between Pay per click and Paid inclusion. Pay per ranking does not exist. Old PPC Systems ranked you higher if you bid higher, but you did not pay for the position itself, but if somebody clicked the ad. Paid inclusion on the other hand does not guarantee any ranking. You pay simply for being included in the search index. Pay per ranking would be a hubrid which does not (and did not) exist roy&lt;sac&gt; Talk! .oOo. 15:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as unsourced original research --roy&lt;sac&gt; Talk! .oOo. 13:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep - a notable topic I think, but it needs extensive cleanup and referencing. --John24601 13:40, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * In that case would it also be necessary to assign it to a different category. Fictitious compensation models which were never used by search engines :). May be there was once a SE who used that model, but I have not heard of any (for a reason) --roy&lt;sac&gt; Talk! .oOo. 08:56, 19 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Created by a single purpose account, and article is completely lacking in the sources and verifiability department.  RFerreira 21:19, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a neologism that is unverifiable due to lack of sources. It does appear that the author is confused about what paid inclusion, which is what he/she seems to be trying to describe. Gwernol 22:22, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
