While browsing the web I came across something.

Paid Search, Crowdsourced by Experts.


The company is called Trada, which is located in Boulder, CO; skeptical, I decided to do a bit of research:

Crowdsourcing the Click - Forbes.com

^This article is by Forbes, giving a bit of insight on the company. They hired 1000 'freelancers' to predict words/phrases to generate clicks/leads for various clothing articles. According to Forbes, the freelancer keeps 75% of profit (if any).
With the internet easily accessible for the common entrepreneur, one must wonder what opportunities are legit & which are scams. The optimization doesn't seem terribly different from what one can already do through affiliate networks, although it seems more corporate (possibly less financial risk?).

What do you think about Trada? Worth anybody's time?
