Is there any findwhat advertiser on this forum who does not have a problem with this fact?

We dropped FindWhat 4 months ago.

Wondering where you heard this information. I can't seem to find anything and our Findwhat listings do not appear on Seek99.

Go to seek99 and see it. When I heard Kanoodle dropped them, I wanted to see who they used now, so I could avoid that company.

I've done some searches on seek99 and it doesn't
look like Findwhat results to me.

We've dropped findwhat... I strongly recommend to anyone who values their $ to take a good hard look at their findwhat conversion rates (especially over the last 5 months).

We've had a horrible experience with them.... abo#*$!ely horrible...

Wow seems like findwhat dropped them already. LOL they were together for what 5 hours? LOL

As for kanoodle dropping them, I did a search, right clicked a link and selected properties this is what i found:

[seek99.com...]

Seems they are back feeding Kanoodle more rubbish and botic traffic.

I emailed our account rep and let her know their partnership with them was unacceptable. Perhaps they had a number of complaints...

Findwhat went south in our industry about 5-6 months ago. They were actually (surprisingly) effective until then.

Kanoodle and Findwhat have both degraded so far over the last year, it's almost hard to believe. We used to root for these companies and spend as much $ as we could with them. Now, I tell everyone who will listen to avoid them like the plague.

Findwhat and Kanoodle are going the way of Looksmart. They are sacrificing the customer for the short term cash. It's a guaranteed recipe for disaster. We are witnessing the self-inflicted death of two companies that could have been great.

I read an article on Findwhat yesterday that talked about their dreary outlook and why they are suffering so much right now. It talked about "unscrupulous partners" as the main reason. I couldn't agree more.
