Google PPC now live!
 

Pretty solid system, just bought my first ads. Finally some competition for those bastards at Overture!

good luck. you'll need it!

where?

url ?

google.com:321GFY

WHAT??!!! shit this suck fucking cock!

they have had that for years

how come no one use it then? am there rightnow

they have had CPM for about a year, CPC is new

I was under the impression that google has been doing this forever.. those ad spots are not new.

On the other hand, I'd be curious to know what your results are like. Overture so far has been fucking me.

Check out this correspondence so far:


Any bets on what happens next??

Overture USED to rock. Now they have nazi like guidelines and are frickin useless. I cut my spending down from $2500 a month to $200.

they've had adwords for ages, which is their per impression program which is the two links at the top of the search results plus the tables on the right.

where is a url for their ppc submissions?

its right beside it man...

It's kind of bothersome to me that their responses indicate they have not even INVESTIGATED my claim -- they've just sent form letters in response to everything. If I helped influence just one webmaster to cut his overture budget, I feel I have served my purpose here. Of course, in fairness, if I ever extraordinarily good service from them, I will post about that as well.

aahhh ..... found it ..... AdWords Select

all my campaigns are non-adult related, but even so I got treated as poorly as you. those canned email responses look all too familier.

they shouldn't upset anyone, after they killed all my listings I got to thinking how easily their entire business model could be taken down. Get a few thousand surfers to start recklessly clicking on the $1+ bids, inform the advertisers, boom... no more Overture :)

adwords existed before,but they burned many people! many impressions,few clicks,no profit

they turned it to ppc,smart and fair movement

I think I get upset about it, because I have a very different approach to business. I've been thinking about pushing mass adult-hosting as a new product, but I've avoided it, because I don't have the facilities scale my support team at the kind of breakneck pace that would require.

I guess there's other ways of doing business.. and they can make money too.. heh..

.. check it out, I bet overture will not like it ... OVER droped by 10%

Sure.. the adult webmaster community makes up a good portion of their revenue, and they treat us like shit. Apparently, even the non-adult site owners have been treated like shit recently.

I wonder how long it will be before "Cathy" from Overture starts hanging out in this BB (no disrespect intended to Cathy from I-Bill who I think, despite serious obstacles, is trying to appease the masses here).

Fuck Overture ... goto/about/dmoz can kiss off too.
Cant give away any secrets here, sorry, but they arent needed to do business or make money.

Have you EVER found what you were looking for on those sites ? .....yeah, well neither have their surfers.

sooooo............does it mean we'll be out of free google traffic pretty soon ? all the pay sites going to buy keywords ?

... what makes google´s system special is, that no matter how hight the 2nd position is, you will only be charged 1cent more to stay on top. with all other ppc engines it is different, you´ll always pay what you selected, google´s system is adjusting your bid price ... and this will cost OVER, no more stupid overbidding !

well, there are bidding tools out there, like http://www.gotoast.com/, but (correct me if I am wrong) most ppc´s have banned them ...

What is the mimimun PPC you can do on google?
By the way evertime i try and get it their system it says its under maintenence they must be getting slammed.

your ad doent interfere with google listing, it is on the rightside where it said sponserd links -)

so they wont place ad listings ion top search results ?

I know what comes next...

"Hello Richard,

Thank you for contacting Overture. Blah Blah Blah."

Nz

nop they dont jedi, thats a good thing, google is the only SE left for the surfers to actually get what their looking for.

A case could be made for that you know. A guy looking for free porn can't find it, well finally he buys something...
