Pay-Per-Click Experiences

I have had a bad experience with google adwords recently.

We chose keywords that were demanding the lowest possible price per click and started our campaign. A few days ago, when I logged in to see my reports, most of the words were showing up as inactive for search and demanded higher payment from me to activate them. I wanted my ads to keep running, so I set them up at higher prices, but the next day they were all inactive again, demanding even more money! My campaign is now inactive, and I have no idea why the sudden change. When I do a search in google for the words I chose, there are no other sponsored links showing up, so why is google demanding more money from me?

I am working with them from 6 mounts and have very good results with very high CPC.

They also provide text and products ads.

How do they compare to adsense and YPN?
Im always wary of the smaller services.

Hi,

I think google Adword is tolerably good. But I had very bad experience regarding Yahoo overture. I doubt they encourage fraud clicks. The quality traffic coming from overture is very poor. Do not invest much money on PPC campaigns of search engines. I think the best practice is to go for quality backlinks from websites which have good page rank in google.

Focus your SEM efforts towards quality back links. You will definitely get quality visitors without spending an extra penny.

Most people face bitter experience with google adwords. The problem that you have cited is quite common among those who go for PPC campaigns. You send me your website address or URL, then I will be able to offer more specific suggestions on how to tackle the problem.

i have found it's difficult to manage my adwords and yahoo campaigns separately. i saw a few tools that allow you to manage your google and yahoo campaigns at once. keyword max, atlas one point, inceptor. the one that seems most cost effective is adconsole. anyone use any of these? i'm thinking of trying one of them out.

agree with rajat...quality backlinks from websites with a good pr its the best way to get many visitors from your website.

I used be BIG into PPC I had ad's running on 7 PPC sites. Yes I had a good ROI but I did lots of testing too. Now I have very limites campaigns running since I have figured our SEO that is much more cost effective.

I still have new people start out with PPC though it's the quickest way to drive targeted visitors to your site.

PPC works for short time goals but in the long run you should get a good SEO firm. In my experience the conversion rate from organic results are up to ten times better than PPC conversions.

I guess I need to be educated a little bit more on how to effectively use pay per click because I've never really had any success using it at all. Is there a good inexpensive course out there I could buy?

Krunk- Yes there are probably lots of courses you can purchase, but I've got something better. I did a training on PPC a few months back and I have posted it on a neat little desktop tool I'm using to train the people I work with.

Feel free to download a copy so you can have access to this one of a kind training. Go to: http://qview.barefootsuccess.net and just save it to your desktop. Once you open the program click on the "featured" tab then the training is under the "presentation" tab.

To your success on the net,

I think adwords has it's place, but the problem is with lack of visibility of the bids no one has a clue why their ads become inactive.

One thing that amuses me (ever so slightly) is the website below. It was set up to combat the increase in non geographic numbers being used by companies to bump up their profits. As a non profit making organisation it added adsense to pay for the server hosting etc. The thing is adsense sees the talk about telephone numbers and automatically adds advertisements for revenue sharing schemes for the very numbers the website was set up to wipe out.

Thanksk for the useful information Barefoot Mentor!

Your Welcome Krunk,

I truly believe if everyone would just "pay it forward" the world would be a better place to live ... even though my business name is "Barefoot in the Garden"

Ask.com was a nightmare for me. I was used to Google's easy interface and theirs was just confusing. With one campaign on google I would average 1-3 sales for every 100 clicks at a low cost and for the same campaign It cost me over $30 for 150 or so clicks and Not A single sale. Plus they want money up front. Google doesn't. (which could be bad or good)

I should inform you that your link is dead. That domain is censored on all our forums for having spammed them.
