Leaving Web search After Testing for One Week

[dhaliwal]

Today i have stopped websearch after trying it for one week.

I think they are keeping all the money with themselves and we are only getting around 3 cents a click.

And there is nothing good in loosing a visitor for such a less amount.

We have dynamic website and are already having a good internal search engine, so don't need to giveaway visitors to google for so less.

I hope more webmasters will also stop using web search.

just one thing?
are you an arab?

cause they very much resemble the way you are

EFV, you seem to be quite old...

Perhaps the wisdom shared via his posts just makes it seem that he is old beyond his actual years?

While he might not be right 100% of the time (who is?), IMO anyone who chooses to follow his advice will enjoy much success for the long-term.

For whatever reasons you "had" to tell everyone you were leaving web search that is your own decisions. Although I do understand that you wanted to share your experience with the program, this is a discussion board and you will hear other views, their thoughts, and experiences.

In my opinion your last post really diminished whatever credibility you had. I hoped better from you. I still do.

If you want and feel the need to express you opinions feel free. I have no problem with it. Just give me the same respect.

BTW - I am an American. German/Dutch

I hate/dislike nobody regardless and I hold no grudges. I really do hope to see you around in a more positive light. Take care.

arubi,

now you are talking a bit of sense

Lol, i am not here to prove my credibility and neither i come here to see how many visitors follow me

Well about EFV.

I am sure he is making big money and is doing it in real nice way, he is doing ethical business and he is not taking any short cuts,

but he has developed a bit of rigid approach, maybe he is satisfied with whatever he gets, though i know he is also trying to earn more, but when you are in a race, you would always try to be ahead of others.

I know it takes a hell lot of effort to create traffic and then earn from them, but there are people who apply better ideas and new techniques and create high wealth.

There are many examples, google is one, and friendster is another.

So i think to stay in business you need to be running at twice the speed of competitors, and EFV's ideas are very great and encourage to work in nice way, but there are some times when everyone seeks a few shortcuts.

This thread is getting very personal, talking about how old a person is, how thick headed, must be arab and stuff.

Yeah right! You must be indian too. But who cares. Lets not get race and other non-related subjects into the issue.

I too find the revenue generated by websearch pathetic but it is useful for users who want to search info on my site and if not then a graceful exit.

At least, he will be less likely to hit the X icon to close the browser, and we do not have to try to keep him by showing him ten popups all over the place.

EFV, you seem to be quite old

LOL. It's all a matter of perspective, I guess. Most people would call me middle-aged, but maybe anyone who's been working online for more than five years is geriatric in Internet terms. :-)

As for Websearch, kwngian summed it up perfectly with the statement:

dhaliwal,

ever heard of sticky mail [webmasterworld.com]? This thread is degrading rapidly..

[dhaliwal]

chandru

only you told me about sticky mail

But what do you want me to say in sticky?

Huh

See ya Buddy

[dhaliwal]

adding to pain was one more thing yesterday.

I only had around 20 impressions, and 2 clicks, on websearch. just cause its still on two pages

and for 2 clicks they paid 3 cents.

Thats a freaky thing
