I Just Pissed Away $220.

Google's delay in reporting cost us like 10K one day. Did not expect that much traffic.

Moral of the story is to set the budget so you dont get screwed

Krongel, how'd you manage to attract all those advertisers when your network was still fledging?

#1 PM him... sheesh.


#2 Lots of affiliate networks run offers from other networks. I know a few very small networks, where 90% of their offers are being run through other networks.

My worst is i set my bids to $50 instead of .50 and was out $500 in a couple hours.

 

[krazyjosh5]

Yeah I just did the same. I thought I was setting maximum daily budget instead of bid amounts.:error:

...but I only lost $2.

 

[lerchmo]

yeah I made like 1500 so it wasnt terrible but still sucked

 

[minger]

That's nothing. I pissed away $2k in 4 hours when I was pasting to adwords editor a comma was misplaced and made the bid $20 and got 2,000 clicks with avg cpc of $1.

your main mistake was you had an unlimited daily budget, not a misplaced comma.

Those things were nice experience for you people, I bet now you check your bids twice)))

Actually, my budget was $2k which was not uncommon to hit, it just did it too fast. Any more assumptions genius?

 

[barman]

[nytrokiss]

[lucab]

yeah engaged i think you mentioned this before - it was a car model name or something that fucked you, right? something about not cleaning a KW list well enough and uploading with the adwords editor or something?

[sperts car]

[dayjober]

Dammit quite a number of sad stories. I feel sorry for that. I can't imagine myself in such kind of situations. Anyway it shows how careful we should be while setting bids.
