This is very disgusting in my opinion. One minute I'm talking to an employee about a keyword, the next second theres a very generic add up. Also his name and the clickbank name are very similiar. What Should I do?
sounds like someone got the adwords anxiety. it happens to me sometimes. just run away from the cpu and take a break for a few hours. that helps
That's just marketing for you. There are loads of people out there now with software more than capable of nicking your entire campaigns anyway, let alone individual keywords. Expensive minefield these days is Adwords.
What should you do? Nothing. Join the club. When I was a newbie, I used to have entire profitable campaigns stolen from me. If you're moaning about one keyword now, wait till you have an entire campaign get snatched. It's all a part of the game. Don't worry about it. Just learn from your mistake and never disclose your keywords to anyone. In fact, if you think about it, it's your fault for letting the keyword slip.
Yeah Good Point, I think I was just venting a little. It's true about the software, and I use that software as well. DataMining is part of the game, but I guess it was just a little worse because it happened from somewhere that I thought should be a trustworthy company. true shafty, sorry about your campaign, but thanks for the perspective. And like I said to master, It is part of the game, I just thought it would be more taboo for a google employee. Besides, keywords and Ads are one thing, but Conversion rate/CTR/QualityScore/CPC info is a little more scary to have people snatch. I'm sure google doesn't allow this for their employees, but how can they really enforce it. Overall I'll cooled down, Actually 95% of competitors with this keyword dont last for more than 4 days anyways. Thanks Vene
That really sucks bro, there are a lot of con artists out there. Unfortunately, there's not much you can do except learn from the experience and keep your keywords safe and secure next time.
yeah, yeah...everyone is there is GET you mate..you are the victim..best is hide in your closet and blame the world for your failure.. Why on earth would a google employee steal your newbie venture..when he has access to 1000 and millions of keywords he knows which works..if he is bad..he will go that distance..i have not come across a bad guy in a company..who won't go far enough to get the big pie.
You have to hide your campaigns, i always click on ads to check what their LP looks like, what network/offer they're using, where they're advertising, what other pages their server has, if they have any other domains,..etc so i can copy them and take a share of their market.
Google employees have the right to enter your account to see everything. It is ok if for google's support only. It is totally unethical to utilize this right to get unfair advantage over you. You certainly have any right to report to google if you are suspecious.
just explain everything together attach the proof... but i don't think they will help... manager always stand for their staff
if you see his ad.. take a printscreen with the clickbank url in the tool tip.. and send it to google...
