Silly Me ...

kolbywhite28 · 12-09-2011, 12:46 AM

A few days ago, I set up a test campaign in one of the 2nd tier PPC search engine network in order to look at the keyword prices and competition. Didn't realize the campaign was active and lo and behold, when I login today, $30+ went down the drain. I actually had yahoo.com as the link destination and sent many paid visitors to yahoo

Was that dumb or what?

ErikNilsson · 12-09-2011, 01:17 AM

Ha Ha you better check next time.......

Alexander K · 12-09-2011, 01:19 AM

Maybe if you ask yahoo nicely, they'll help pay for the traffic you sent!

But yeah, that was bad. Always put a time limit on a test ad lol.

jordanberg2311 · 12-09-2011, 02:54 AM

it happens...
to me too! lol

harrisunderwork · 12-09-2011, 03:04 AM

Learn from mistakes, thats all I can say.

JasonWestwick · 12-09-2011, 03:13 AM

Hey buddy,

your story brings up some painful memories lol

Well it's all a learning curve, don't see this as money wasted, think of it as money invested in your education and your future

digiscot · 12-09-2011, 03:18 AM

ouch! at least thats a mistake you wont make again!

feliciayapsl · 12-09-2011, 03:19 AM

At least you'll be more careful from now on! Hopefully...

moneyraiser · 12-09-2011, 03:21 AM

We are always learning from our mistakes. PPC is that method where you should watch your campaigns carefully. As you see one mistake making a high/low loss for you. Good luck next time!

serena85 · 12-09-2011, 03:24 AM

Don't worry it could happen to anybody. Be more careful next time.

speedylikesKJ · 12-09-2011, 03:16 PM

I've done something similar with ppv before, it cost me a lot more than $30 though! As long as we learn from our mistakes it's not a total loss!

Hi,

LOL! Yeah, it happens. I agree with everyone else here. I bet this is an experience you will never forget...and, to boot, you now have a funny story to tell

Best wishes to you for happiness and success.

It gets even better. The only reason I logged in is because the network deleted the keywords after telling me that they are irrelevant to the link.

you can learn something from this mistakes and can save yourself from big mistakes.

Always good to double check before you log out. This is common but shouldn't happen in the first place.
