    I signed up with these guys, because you get free $5 worth of clicks when you sign up - anyway, for a popular KW term I set up a ppc campaign, expecting the $5 to run out in minutes - thought a few extra visitors will be good for free!

    3 weeks later no one has clicked on my sponsor ppc ad yet and still have $5 to my name - the ad is on the first page.

    If your thinkin of doin a ppc campaign - think twice IMO.

    only clicks you'll get from kanoodle are affiliates lookin to make a few bucks. Worst ROI of any of the smaller ones I've tried.

    Back when I was doing PPC advertising I'd always get traffic from Kanoodle and their partners, but I never converted anything with them. At the time I think their biggest partner was mamma.com and most of my Kanoodle traffic came from them, but I'm not sure if they still use them or not.

    An update, it's been 2.5 months and I've finally run out of my free $5 and they have the cheek to email me asking if I'd like to pay more money for my PPC campaign lol

    IF you want traffic, don't spend your money - glad I didnt!

    Ive been hearing so many bad things from advertisers about kanoodler. I use them on my site (as publisher) and they give me fair enough earnings as of today.

    It works for me. I guess it depends on what you sell.

    I have never had a good experience with Kanoodle. I was at Ad-tech in NYC and stopped by there booth to tell them their traffic sucks, and the guy didn't even try to argue, just said that there context tool is much, much better.

    I think the best way to use the lesser PPCs is to
    get them into your lead funnel and follow up for
    sales. Other than that, trying to make sales directly
    really drains your money.

    I now hate kanoodle! Well, brightads anyway :p

    Their PPC rates weren't half bad, I was getting about 70 clicks a day, making $25-35 a day.

    But, just out of the blue, they cancel my account. They point to the part of the TOS saying they can terminate the account at any time for any reason. I email them asking why, they dont reply. I know why - so they dont have to pay me.
