Kanoodle was founded in 1999. 66 million searches
a day make Kanoodle one of the largest pay per click search engine
companies in the industry. Kanoodle’s online account management
system is basic, but allows you to schedule your campaign to start
and end at any designated time.
Kanoodle has a respectable customer service department (they are
best contacted by phone). The $10.00 minimum monthly spending
shouldn’t be a problem with the amount of traffic that they claim,
but being in first place will cure any problem that this might
cause you. Minimum spending rules seem rather annoying, but if you
are not planning on spending at least $10 on your PPC campaign, you
should probably consider learning more about the benefits of
advertising.
Kanoodle’s best feature is that their listings appear on MSN, which
dropped Yahoo! Search Marketing when the started offering their own
PPC service. There’s no review of MSN Adcenter on this site because
it is too new for sufficient experience to allow us to say much
about its quality.
Pharmacy sites are allowed if they are not a generic affiliate site
(like consumersdiscountrx.com). Pornography sites are allowed, but
only with adult keywords. Work at home sites are allowed if they
are not “six-figure a month” style sites.
Kanoodle also offers an 80x40 pixel graphic that will appear next
to your listing. This graphic will give you more traffic when you
are listed lower on their network, but you don’t want it. The idea
of having your logo appear next to your listing seems nice, but
there are very few sites that will show it, and none of those sites
are worth drawing attention on.
Kanoodle shouldn’t be your first choice, but some people have
experienced legitimate success using the service. If you track your
traffic, keep detailed logs that you can send them if you do feel
that you are a victim of click fraud. If you do not track your
conversions, you should look at Findology or Enhance Interactive
which offers free conversion tracking.
