Looking for pros and cons about this company-(Sprinks). I've advertised there very little to date but want to know more. Today, when advertised my keywords they did not post them for over two hours so I pulled these ads. I advertised both in the keywords areas and in the more expensive guide area. Either way, no ads appeared. Is this typical? Any one else had similar problems with Sprinks?

Cmore,

The con about Sprinks: technical performance is generally not at the same level as the other PPC provider. Others have in fact complained about this, but I have seen indications of successful campaigns as well. Time to replicate on different data servers is probably why you saw such a delay- that doesn't mean others didn't see your ad.

The good news: major technical improvements are on their way soon for Sprinks.

The pro about Sprinks: targeting extremely relevant Guidesites can result in sometimes higher conversion & improved ROI over other PPC providers. Depending on your industry, the distribution to some of Sprinks partners (Ask Jeeves, ePinions.com) can be very helpful.

HTH.

It is right. I am one of the few here that was happy with Sprinks.

There is another good point. Your ads are placed in their targeted mailing list.

I've always been frightened off by the initial investment required. Low competition targeting would take ages to use your cash up.
