VO-BB - 19 YEARS OLD!

[dhouston67]

Searched the archives but found very little on this topic. Was wondering if anyone uses Google's Adwords, or even Yahoo's similar service. I've read a bit about "click fraud" associated with these programs, and was wondering if anyone here has had good or bad experiences with them.

David,

I've used Google ad words extensively...but for another business not VO related. FWIW, there was no fraud (that I'm aware of anyway) and it definately delivered the traffic...some of which actually led to paying customers.

when I tried Google adwords I was charged for click thru's from the following "search sites".

All sites are domain name parks. Who would visit such a site in order to search for a voice over artist, indeed, to search for anything. I’m certain that it is inappropriate for me to pay someone for clicking on a link to my site. If individual visitors from the sites listed below where “we clicked because we are interested” why only stay for 1 second? Google who had done nothing wrong refunded all my money.

Here's the question. Of the following sites which would you use to find your voice over artist?

There is no point in paying for "sponsor clicks" e.g your site link appears on a site where the word "voice" appears as the content could be about mouthwash. We only need to be in the search engine listings as we are not an impulse buy.

Good Lord.

Katrina showed up at the tip-top of a Google page for "Voice Talent UK" the other day-- Paid placement thing, quite impressive-looking. Banksey is in the top 20 consistently this week.

I just looked at the search strings that bring people to my site and none of it has to do with "Voice". What the hell.
