I'm not sure if you mean literally building the engine (as in the actual code) or building a keyword list.

Or, if you're referring to commercial products like WordButler which is $147 per year, available at http://www.wordbutler.com/

Please respond and I will happily point you in the right direction.

If you are starting from scratch... I would dig around in existing code to get a better feel. Like: http://www.sourcecodeonline.com/

I imagine this to be a very time consuming and tedious task, requiring constant monitoring and updating, not to mention quite expensive.

I personally wouldn't touch the bidding algorithms...

Are you a programmer and if so what languages?
