Don't trust Google Ads and Yahoo Adword since they are taking your money away (daily limit) in dishonest way. I promoted my website through them both and paid them almost $30 of each everyday. I did get some clicks but almost none of them even tried to use my free try offering. I doubt those "clicks" were not real and could be done by some people who were making money from Yahoo or Google by just clicking the customers who used Google Ads or Yahoo Adword to promote their services. Both companies could charge you a penny if there is no "traffic" or "clicks" being brought to your website. They charge you per "click" they bring up to your website. Are there some people hired by Google or Yahoo doing the clicks for them?
absolutely....NOT no mabie you just targeted your ad wrong. even if the thing is free if you dont target anything correctly its not going to convert at all
I would shy away from saying these as there is really no evidence to say they scammed or fraud. They are publicly listed companies, if you have evidence on this, you can go through the legal channels. But I won't post on a public forum saying as what you had. You are taking a big risk of defamation towards two giants.
What's your site, what ad did you have, and what keywords did you target? I'm betting you just targeted bad keywords, or have a bad site.
You can bring a horse to the river (can get them to click and get to your site) but you can't force the horse to drink (free trial offering). I suggest you may want to improve on your offerings so as not to waste the money incurred in Google and Yahoo.
If the website you've entered in your profile as your home page is the one you've been promoting, then the reason you're not getting sign-ups is obvious. It looks very amateur with all those colours and flashing things (and yes, I know it's about kids, but is needs to look professional), and there's no excuse for mistakes in grammar on an educational site. But most of all, it's not obvious what it is you're offering - How Much to Pay? 7 day free try? -$50 a month? (And if you get far enough into the site to see that it's $50 a month, I can't see anywhere that tells me what qualifications and experience the person had who devised the plan and is offering the tutoring has to teach to make it worth that)
Dude, these are Fortune 500 companies. That's a pretty bold claim with no evidence. Did it ever occur to you that maybe no one wanted to sign up for what you were offering? They're not ripping anyone off or they wouldn't be so successful and where they are today.
i would not hold yahoo or google responsible. it is our responsibily to know the system and know how it works. not sure about yahoo as i don;t have any experience with it, but google adwords is an excellant program where there are lot of people making millions every year. every game has a rule and you are responsible to know the rules before you start playing the game. my brother learned the trade of adwords and he is making 6-7k per month in profit after all expenses (he spends around 10k in advertising in adwords a month). so i know for sure the system works for the people who know
