Yodle Complaint - Yodle or Yodle.com - Pay Per Click Advertising
Pay Per Click Advertising - Complaint
If you are thinking of using Yodle.com to do your internet advertising please take my advice and DON’T do it. I was a Google Adwords user and our business has done quite well with Adwords. We have been using Adwords for about 18 months. I have had many companies call and offer to manage our pay per click campaigns for us. Most wanted a 12 month contract. Yodle only asked for a 3 month contract. [snip] was the sales representative I worked with. She claimed Yodle would increase my “click per call” ratio from 10% to 30%. They wanted 3 months because they said it would increase about 10% per month as they adjusted our keywords. I am 20 days into the program and it has been horrible. Here is the short list:
We went 2 weeks without a single call or request for information.
They are charging us for a lot of clicks in parts of the country where we do not want out ads showing.
They have used $800 so far and produced only 1 decent lead. (3 contacts total)
$800 with our own program would have produced 10-15 leads
They are charging us $10-15 per click and placing our ads in positions we would have only paid $4 per click.
I am going to fight them on payment and the contract. I consider their sales pitch to be fraudulent. Even if it was matching or close to what we were producing I would be fine. They are really hurting our business. Before I signed up with Yodle I tried to find reviews about them. I couldn’t find many positive reviews but there were no negative review. So here is your warning! Signing with Yodle has been a disaster. I am going to put our own ads back up and just pay double if I have to.

Just a nightmare,really a scam that needs to be reported to the attorney general.At a time when the economy is not too good ,Yodle promises to increase the number of leads and actually not only they rob you but in addition they destroy your business.Is there another Madoff behind this company?

I experienced the same unfortunate lack of performance from YODEL

Did any of you go the full 3 months? (which sounds like a bad idea I understand)
