Hal · 11-23-2003, 10:57 AM

I am thinking about trying them out. I am already spending alot with many other ppc SEs but haven't yet tried Kanoodle. Please post any past experiences or info about how they convert compared to FW etc. Thanks.

doober · 11-23-2003, 11:09 AM

I had 5 bucks free there so isigned up and wanted to spend cash...after my 5 bucks ran out i wanted to test some more but my cc was not being accepted by their online form.

I called them and asked for someone to call me back so i could make a payments and noone ever got back to me.

meanwhile every other day i get these annoying emails..."your kanoodle account is low and you should fill it up again blah blah blah, your could be loosing money...

retards

DO NOT use them. Waste of time and money. Go and spend your cash at Overture, sure, it's a bit expensive, but at least you'll see an ROI.

banshman · 11-23-2003, 11:31 AM

Kanoodle was worthwhile when the minimum bid was .01, but it isn't worth it with the .05 minimum.

I might be giving Overture another shot - it looks like the bids are considerably lower than they were a few months ago, at least for my keywords.

FreeFastHost · 11-23-2003, 11:57 AM

Kanoodle traffic does very well for me, my ROI with them is better than that with overture.

OVT traffic at the moment: Chinese traffic = 1/2 US traffic you receive. Lots of traffic from egypt, korea,japan and....iran as well.

basschick · 11-23-2003, 01:44 PM

i didn't get much traffic from them, but what i did get didn't buy.

cool1g · 11-23-2003, 02:20 PM

i've used them but find their conversion rate to be far below google, goclick, findwhat and overture....

doesn't hurt to try but i don't think you'll be pleased with the results.

Hal · 11-23-2003, 02:32 PM

ok thanks for the info ppl
I might still try them, will see...

Google Adwods is the only "ppc" i've ever needed. I simply dont trust anyone else

You are saying Overture traffic is Chinese traffic?

aflex · 11-23-2003, 02:46 PM

stay away from Kanoodle.. im fighting with them over a $100 deposit i put in to try them out.. I signed up for their service, deposited $100 to get started. Created some campaigns, and it said they had to review keywords, which is fine.

Next day i try to log in, and it says my account is under review by client services. So i call them and they said I didnt fill out their documents and fax it to them, so they sent me the documents via email. They want ALL my info, CC, Drivers license, all kinds of shit, written on a hard copy paper, and faxed to them for their records. I don't want my info on their database like that, so now i'm trying to get my money back. They're backwards.. im just trying to do biz with them.

a large # of it yes. They have too many partner sites now from asian markets :-( No geotraffic option....

avion · 11-23-2003, 03:58 PM

heard good things about them...never tried it out personally though...

Ic3m4nZ · 11-23-2003, 04:04 PM

Never tried them

spooky181 · 11-23-2003, 09:50 PM

Shit traffic compared to some of the others.

SicChild · 11-23-2003, 09:56 PM

I used to work for a company that sent 150,000uniques/day to a kanoodle-powered search engine from mistyped domain names and we raked in 30k/month.

I had the same problem, Just send them an email saying "no mention was made of faxing in personal information when I sent you payment, if you do refund my $$$$ immediatly I will be forced to charge back on my CC and lodge a complaint with my credit card company about your business practises."
It worked for me, I got my money back the next day.
