So I had dropped my campaigns with Searchfeed and Miva a while ago. Searchfeed conversion rates just started dropping, and also their GEO-targeting started getting really off. I take random samplings of GEO accuracy and one day in mid December it just took a big nosedive. It was disappointing too, because SF used to be a very strong converting PPC source for me. I ended up emailing them with a spreadsheet of my stats and explaining what happened. To my surprise, less than a day later, they refunded me almost $1,000 in clicks for December and wanted me to give them another shot. Since I resumed my campaigns they seem to be back on track.
I had tested Miva in the past and the conversions were just not there, so I stopped using them. Then my account rep called me last week offering me free matching clicks to try them again on their new “precision” network. Well, I am never one to turn down free money so I fired up a campaign with them for more testing. I was pretty impressed at their effort to retain me as a customer.
These results will be included in a new and improved PPC Smackdown 2.0 that I will be putting together at the end of this month. Stay tuned!
I’d like to see how you do with searchfeed cause i tried them about 6 months ago and they sucked. but maybe they are better now.
