Hi Everyone,


I used to advertise on Findwhat.com, and made a good profit. Ever since they turned to Miva.com their traffic turned "bad". I'm not converting anything with them. I'm using exactly the same keywords, ads and websites, but the conversions plumeted to almost zero Evil or Very Mad

I wonder if someone else had the same experiance.


Thanks

Ron

I will let you know. I have just started a campaign although I have no benchmark to measure against.

Well I cancelled the campaign I has running with Miva. After over 1000 clicks to my site I had 0 conversions.

I have tell say that they are very very slow in approving new search terms and funding accounts. Both took well over a week.

They do have very good support with their live help though.

I tried findwhat.com some time ago, it really wasn't that great but it was cheaper then yahoo or google. I read sometime ago that they had some issues with affiliates and sending bad traffic

miva sucks. as the other guy mentioned, tons of clicks and NO conversions. and these are not programs that i only tested on miva.
these programs worked on other search engines. miva is partially responsible for running many affiiates out of business, those that were advertising with them for a long time with decent results and all of sudden those results turned bad. clicks went up and conversions went down and yet the auto charges were still on and still funding these loosing accounts.

don't support those people.

maybe there is a niche where miva works but i would not waiste much time or money trying to find it

Seriously MIVA blows. It burned through $100 in 2 days with VERY SPECIFIC keywords that convert great on google and nothing.

Goclick was a bad experience too...Google and Yahoo keywords are expensive for a reason, because they work.

I have bought:

Adwords Black book
Day Job Killer
Google Cash 2007
Definitive Adwords Guide
John Reese Traffic Secrets

Keyword Elite PRO

All of these programs say the SAME thing: Don't use MIVA.

If anyone has any SPECIFIC questions about these programs email me:

Have any of you guys created landing pages?

Conversion transition pages!!

I have helped a few clients with landing pages and it really improved their conversion rate.
