Premium Placement`

Am I a loser?

I have to admit that I gave up on Google rankings a while ago, and started doing premium placement. I am fairly small, and could not afford their minimum contract, but built a co-op of small advertisers. We get great rates and excellent returns as opposed to Adwords. Is anyone else using premium placement, and do you consider it legitimate as opposed to trying to get a first page listing the traditional way?

Hi Wisechoice - welcome to WebmasterWorld!

>legitimate
why should it be illegitimate?
Just imagine how cool it would be to get tons of free traffic from Google :)

dont sell yourself short, premium listings are top stuff if campaign is managed right.

lots of use use them, and have been very happy with the results along with unpaid Serps.

however the real fun is when you have premium placement plus position 1 and 2 in serps, then you can smile, and that is what our strategy is based on.

never get dependant on paid traffic, it can be an expensive game.
