Hard Lesson Learned the Hard Way

…And by hard way I mean taking it up the ass – HARD.
Set up a new PPC campaign last night, for something new and exciting.  It uses a more complex redirecting system so I can use the same domain yet handle redirecting traffic from different countries to their respective LP’s.  Tried everything out so on [...]

The inevitable truth – Yahoo! will do what it can to take your money, and if your not smart it will be parted from you promptly.

Yahoo! – The Real Deal Pt. 2

Wednesday, October 15, 2008 12:00 No Comments

The Yahoo! Smash and Grab – Yahoo!, I believe, is so wound up about making more profit for their swaying company, that they are willing to throw new marketers under the bus.  There’s no other logical explanation.  When I first started marketing with Yahoo! and discovered all these “undesirable” sites my ads where being shown [...]

Why You Should Be Using Prosper202, A Good Campaign Isn’t All Adcopy and LP.

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 22:05 4 Comments

Battle of The UK Yahoo Search Marketing $1700 Charge

Tuesday, October 7, 2008 11:39 No Comments

So what do you know, I sign up with Yahoo! UK Search Marketing because I couldn’t find a way to market to the UK from my US account.
Note I have used Yahoo! quite a bit and in no way did I really think I’d get charged £1,000.00.  From my experience they either charge [...]

It wasn’t up until about a month ago that I really started tracking my clicks.  I decided if I was going to be serious then I would need some serious software.  The main reason I wasn’t using Prosper202 was because of Tracking202 which had some terrible reviews from inside the community because people think they [...]
