do you screw companies through google?
i google fridge repair and a company popped up in the ad section....
i called, he came and charged me $135 for the visit and told me my frodge could not be fixed... i was upset but had agreed to pay prior to him coming... he mentioned that every google hit costs him $11... i asked him, before he left, is there anyway we can work out a lower amount since you only stayed 5 minutes and just said that he can not do anything, he said pay me the money please! so, within the last 6 weeks, i have googled him 10 tims a day, had over 100 ppl from facebook do the same... i know he will probably complain that he got his ad clicked more than usual but i am sure he is going to get nailed.... have you ever revenged any company?

No- that just seems childish.
You knew a service call costs $135 before he came over, you agreed to pay it and then you change your mind- HOW IMMATURE! He had to pay for his schooling, his licensure, his company van, his equipment, his gas to drive all the way to your house. You pay for that expertise and overhead costs. Next time, grow up and understand how business works. Ads |

Actually, you are wasting your time - the reason he is charge d$11 per hit is because he pays a flat fee and gets few hits. The fee does not change whether you click once or 1 million times - all you are basically doing is artificially driving down his cost per click, which is really an irrelevant number - what he should be doing is not measuring cost per click, but rather cost per lead which is probably closer to the $11 he mentioned and which you can't affect.

Congratulations: you wasted your time and those of the people on Facebook.
Google's algorithm has a safeguard against this kind of stuff. Too many clicks from the same IP on the same ad (or a ton of clicks from various IPs like on Facebook) bring up a flag for manual review. They'll have seen what you are doing and not charge his Adwords account if he is on a CPC plan. Don't be a dick next time. |
