Article Marketer Rip-Off Update

Last week I reported a major financial altercation, to the tune of $130, with the folks over at Article Marketer… here’s the post.  Today I’d like to update you on what transpired and how the situation finally ended.

As you know, I wrote the original post on March 24th at around 3p.m.  By 8p.m. the same day, this message was posted to my blog: Read the rest of this entry

ArticleMarketer.com Ripped Me Off!

ArticleMarketer.com stole money out of my Paypal account and refused to give it back — Let me tell you how it happened.

Article Marketer is an article distribution service that I used to use last year.  I was pretty happy with the service, but they discontinued their service last October and split into two different services:  ContentCrooner.com and DistributeYourArticles.com

Now I use DistributeYourArticles.com… the service is pretty okay, and I pay a separate monthly fee for it.

So here’s the rub on how they ripped me off…

Google Adwords Is Ridiculous

Google Adwords has become a completely ridiculous system to deal with.  You might remember that I became the victim of the “Google Slap” last summer.

Well, Google gets so much search volume that I was compelled to give it another try.

This time I started a completely new account, new email, different credit card, different computer… even a different IP to set up the account because I wanted to be able to start from scratch with Google.

I followed their guidelines EXACTLY and got a 7/10 quality score for ALL my ads. Here’s what happened:

Facebook Update and New Hub

On Monday I posted a video about why Facebook advertising sucks, so I thought that I better post an update to that video.

I still think their inconsistency and their interface sucks… but it bothered me that they wouldn’t accept my ads, so I kept messing with it until I finally got one accepted yesterday.

Now I have a whole new set of complaints…

The way that I finally got accepted was to create an advertisement that linked to one of my Facebook group pages.  My idea is to use Facebook to build a list.

And that brings me to my new Facebook complaint: Read the rest of this entry

Facebook Advertising Sucks!

I’ve heard lots of great things about advertising on Facebook, so I decided to give it a try last week.  After all, I’ve been doing PPC for a long time… could Facebook really be that much different?

Well… it’s actually worse.  It’s as bad as dealing with Google now.

Check out my video below and you’ll see what I mean:

In fairness, this was really my first time trying to run ads in Facebook, but I couldn’t help noticing that “big name” players like Amazon and Google didn’t seem to have any problem running all kinds of ads that seemed to violate Facebook’s terms.

There were also several other ads that I see running in the make money/mlm niche that are much worse than anything that I tried to post too.

Maybe it just depends on who actually gets assigned to manage your account over at Facebook… I don’t know, but this kind of inconsistency totally ticks me off!

Another Hubpage Another Backlink

One of the big advantages of working with me in NuSkin is that I can guarantee that you’ll make Ruby in 120 Days if you follow the 120 Day Ruby Plan…

So I created a hub about it today at:  http://hubpages.com/hub/120-Day-Ruby-Plan

So why did I create another Hubpage?

Because each time I create a high quality hubpage, it gets indexed in search engines and gives me another backlink to my website.  That means that:

  1. More people will find my hub because there are more pages out there.
  2. And more people will find my website because of the backlink.

It basically amounts to another way to get your message out there!

MLM Distributor Websites Suck…

Here’s a quicky post about a new article I posted on Escape Your Cubicle.

It’s called, “Why Your MLM Distributor Website Does Not Work” and it talks about why thos distributor websites don’t really work and what kind of website you should really be using to promote your network marketing business.

You’ll never get any tangible results as long as you’re depending on those company websites to make your sales and build your downline… so check out my article for more information about what you can do about it.
