Espotting

Wanted your opinions of PPC through Espotting

[chrisholgate]

Hi,
I have an online shopping store selling reletively low priced goods and have been signed up to Espotting for best part of a year but haven't seen any noticable results and hence am thinking about using their optimisation service which is £150. Adding my own keywords, URL's and bids just seems like something I'd rather outsource.

Before I do so can you give me your opinion as to whether Espotting is a worthwhile site to advertise on. Do you receive a large number of clicks that provide a good ROI?

Your opinions would be very much appreciated.

Chris

Are you using Espotting UK or Espotting US?

Hi,
I'm currently using eSpotting UK.

Espotting (or Miva, as they are now known) can provide good returns on a well maintained PPC campaign. However, if you want to outsource, I would strongly urge that you go to third party who has interests in researching keywords that could cost you less and give you a higher return on investment.

Search engines usually (in my experience) like to pick words that are going to (in the long run) cost you more! Afterall, they are trying to make money out of you.

You make a good point, makemetop. Obviously you can't give our specifics on Webmaster World but if you have any ideas I would appreciate it if you could sticky me with a couple of suggestions of third parties that I could try.

I used Espotting with decent results last year in automotive PPC although I know the company itself has under gone a few big changes in the last 6-8 months. Do you have an account manager there? I remmeber when my account was flagging I spoke with him and he did some research and sorted it- he knew a lot about cars at the time and I didn't.
