Hi guys
Can anyone reccomend some good ppc companies to me? tried Kanoodle and just wasted £150. Very suspect to say the least that lot. And of course the biggies won`t deal with us lot now
Thoughts?
Andrew
just to clarify. there is no such thing as trustworthy and ppc in the same breathe.
stay away from the ones you mentioned is a good place to start, so you’ve just learned your first ppc lesson.
Whatever PPC’s you decide to try, start with very little money on unusual keywords and test slowly.
It has become next to impossible to make a decent ROI on PPCs. I think Randy will have some suggestions.
Andrew-
Since you’re talking about advertising using pounds rather than dollars, I would suggest having a look at eSpotting. I’ve seen very good conversions with them.
7search and Goclick have produced a positive ROI for me, although 7search is becoming extraordinarily competitive considering the low volume of traffic they’re able to send.
There are some small gambling oriented PPC’s called bettorsearch and searchgambling. Avoid them.
I’d avoid Xuppa for sure. I’ve seen some return on ePilot and Kanoodle, but I don’t recommend them.
I think your best bet is to focus on one of the better ones until you start making money. The key is to have a large list of keywords and really well-written ad-copy.
Test test test and track and measure everything.
I’d also recommend avoiding Findwhat. I’ve heard they used to be one of the better ones, but the results I’ve seen from them have been dismal. As bad as with Kanoodle and ePilot.
But no one is worse than Xuppa.
Be very leery of what you see on sites like payperclicksearchengines.com too. Those aren’t really reviews of PPC engines (at least not based on quality of traffic sent); those are affiliate links.
Thanks for the advice guys. Guess I was suckered in by Kanoodle as they were so friendly. Must have had about 5 phone calls off their staff in 1st week…… Are Click tracking programs such as Clicklab etc worth the dollar?

Goodluck with your search for a good PPC engine. It seems that every week there are 500 more being added to the game. Most of them are run by former traffic affilates that use pop-unders & pop-ups to generate hits to the engine, or auto-searches. Almost all of the small ones depend on affiliates and small partnerships as well, so you’re really not paying for “search engine branded” traffic, you’re paying for “oh I’m here so I may as well search” traffic. Usually, I don’t recommend this, but since the casino industry is so cut throat when it comes to traffic and competition, I’d tell you to hire an SEO firm and just get natural rankings, if you don’t know how to do it on your own. Reason for this, sure, you’ll end up with smaller keywords, but it may give you an edge by gaining top rankings for 100’s of smaller keywords without having to worry about the quality of the surfer, or paying for each one!
