Recommendation

Recommended - the ePilot account interface is easy to use, with the ability to organize keywords into groups that bid changes can then be applied to. The keyword research tool is unique in showing competing advertisers' keywords as well as keyword lists recommended by the engines editors, which can save time during account setup. The ePilot network is large enough to offer quality traffic for advertisers. However there is no automated bid management - something potential advertisers should take into account when considering how much time to allocate to managing an ePilot account; but it does support AtlasOnePoint. Overall, ePilot should be on your list of 2nd tier PPC engines to try.
