I've been on AdWords, MSN, and YSM all of them are having very high CPC. I got quote from MIVA which offers too low CPC than these 3 bigs with much higher CTR etc.. I was wondering if this is really true or just sales gimmicks?
You'd have a better ROI by just throwing your money out your own window. At least you'll be able to see it go away instead of it being stolen from your pocket. How they Searchfaud and Lookstupid are still in business amazes me to this day.
If you guys could share some detailed technical details then it would be better. Since I haven't tried them yet, I can't say anything and can't agree either. But yes if you ask about Google, Yahoo and Adcenter then I would say they are complete rubbish too (based on my exp.) Basically PPC is complete ripoff, agree or not. I'm more into organic stuff. You would ask then why on the Earth you do PPC. Answer is it is not me but my clients.
I think really you've had your answer - especially if you personally think they're all a waste of time! If two or three users claim they don't rate MIVA very highly, I doubt there's much more to know - asking for 'detailed technical details' as to why three posters don't seem very happy probably won't change much - I presume they've simply had little financial success with the program. And of course there's nothing to stop you giving it a go then trying something else if you end up also thinking that it's not worthwhile...
MIVA is total crap... don't waste ANY money on it. If you must, send me your money and I will go have myself a few drinks with some friends.. at least then you'll know your money did something worthwhile. Seriously, stay away from MIVA...
