I went into my searchfeed account today and was looking at my keywords that got clicks. I never bid more than $.06 on any keyword and if you go into my keyword list all you see is $.06 the crazy thing is well I have 7 keywords with payments of $.07 up to $1.51. Now everything is set so I am not pushing anything to position 1 etc. this is the first time I have ever seen this in the 6 weeks I have used searchfeed. anyone know what this is before I call in the morning and chew some ass? Or am i an idiot and missed something?
 


stanley, this is the first time it has happened and they make me good money so I would not avoid them. I was just wondering if someone knew if I had missed something maybe not turned it off in a spot that was not obvious to me setting things up. This was on a couple of new pages I am arbi'ing and has not been a problem on all the others

chris,

login to your searchfeed account and go to:

Listings and Keywords > View Listings > Edit Keywords

View the listing that the expensive clicks came from.

Click on the column heading "Exact Bid Amount " a few times to sort your bids. if you have any bids that are not .01 - .06, you should see the higher costing ones in decending order.

If that doesn't work for you call them. I did last week and got tech support on the phone right away. They were pretty helpful too.

cheers,

xcentrix - I did that and well they are all set the way I wanted them set so not sure what happened. thanks though
 
Shoemoney, I am coming to about the same conculsion. I am making money but it is still a pain in the ass!
 
I didnt have very good experiences with miva, but i never used them for arb. I used them on cpa ads and clickbank and got some sign ups and sales but i mostly just broke even.
Anyone else have other experiences with miva?
 
I did my first test with Searchfeed and was not very impressed. I saw some potential in a few areas that I might go back and revisit, but my initial tests did not impress me much.
 
searchfeed was moving along niceley for the last week/10 days for me. Nothing to brag about but was getting 3:1 so what the hell right, anyway traffic was normal nothing huge, fixed my original problem, don't know what it was but re did my bids back to $.06 on all and well things were moving. Today I go into searchfeed and had 230 hits today! It was around 60 clicks for 5 sites. at 60 hits I was spending, $3.60 a day and making about $11. I have a huge traffic spike and guess what? not 1 click all day! these clicks would happen in blocks of 5 every 15 seconds, wtf! can anyone say clickfraud! I am about to do what I enjoy doing more than anything else in this world, I am about to cause a mess in the morning with searchfeed, yelling the works this is bullshit, I could work myself into a good rage right now but would waiste it then for the morning!

seems like searchfeed keeps fuckin' up!....was thinking about joining but now it seems too much of a hassle to correct shit when searchfeed is fuckin' up.

Let us know how it goes after you have a talk with them.

Hey Chris, do you use any other 2nd tier search engine other then 7search and Searchfeed that bring in decent amount of traffic?

I had exactly the same problem - I set up and account with them and decided to test one site. The site I chose had only 7 visits via 7search for a week. On Monday, campaign goes live and BAM 300 hits!!! And to cap it off, I got an email from Google Monday afternoon telling me my i'm banned from Adsense for invalid clicks!!! FUCK!!

I can only assume it's because of this huge spike - I had only been getting an average 40 visits a day on Adsense prior to this. I am in the process of sorting this out with Google, but this has put me right off Searchfeed.

We will see what they have to say about this!!
 
I am surprised you got any ad clicks from searchfeed. What really pisses me off with them is when I tell them this is bs, they want me to prove it! FUCK THEM, I had my lawyer send them a nasty letter. shit it is only $100 but damn if I will let someone do this to me. If you let one thing slide you will let anything slide, got to draw the line!

Searchfeed seems pretty FUCKED UP!!.....thanks for the heads up!
 
it does seem pretty lame..bah! i had a site on search feed for a while was getting about a 2.5:1 roi(this was a while ago) then suddenly similar thing happened, but i was unsure if it was because i accidentally edited the website(well not accidentally, but i edited to test something out) or if it was searchfeed. either way, i took it off searchfeed
 
SearchFeed sucks. I've just started using them this week - over 100 clicks to my arbi sites and not ONE click. My landing pages aren't too shabby either, 7search is getting over a 50% CTR. I'm "deactivating" my searchfeed account ASAP.
 
I just started my arbi site and I'm getting the exact same results from SF. Hundreds of clicks and no click-thrus.
 
ge engaged, thanks for that extra bit of info, lol, you think you could expand on that thought? maybe have a post with 6 words instead of your usual 3?
