Gave up Adword for 2 month for Yahoo Directory
I have been trying Adword now for 2 years with this Thai Florist site. I can tell you right away it has not been converting at all as I wanted it to.
I wasted some money on content network and now the last month the only site I got is Albanian and Arab site. I ask for only English sites but that’s what I got, off course I been requesting refund but it takes time.
Yahoo Directory have been on my mind now for some times and I will reach a totally different group of people then usual once from Adword. Since my market is pretty small (Western men ordering flowers to girls in Thailand) I think I got most of them already in my email list.
I spent $6 a day on Adword that’s 50 days to $ 299 that the Yahoo Directory charges me.
Let’s see in 2 month if I got any customer from Yahoo since Google Adword has not given me squat for that long as well.
Bookmark this page, subscribe to my RSS or just comment and I will let you know how it went in 60 days.
Mash is the new answer from Yahoo its a social network like Facebook and Myspace. Since Microsoft bought a share of Facebook and Google bought a share of Myspace then Yahoo had to do something to keep up.
The pioneers of search and community have a tuff struggle ahead of them.
Mash is a mix of all different kinds of social networks and a mix of wikipedia as well, you can go in and change some other persons profile but I you can stop and change back if you want to. I think that Idea is dam silly its just going to be people going to hijack peoples profiles that are not used that much and enter their own links.
If you want to get invited and destroy other people profile look at the Mash blog.
Yahoo Search Marketing are doing a upgrade and hope they will come closer to what Google Adsense and Google Adword have done for advertising on the internet.
Yahoo Search Marketing has also allowed customer to use Pay Pal to recharge their account something that Google Adword have refused to do.
We gave Yahoo Search Marketing a very bad review before we will take a look in the new version if there is any change.
