Solo ad vendors are not all created equally. If you know me then you are well aware I teach and use many online marketing methods to meet new business partners, promote killer products that I use (this is my favorite MLM product), and build my list of opportunity seekers. Blogging, Google Adwords, Facebook PPC, article syndication and distribution, ezine/solo ad marketing, social media interaction….and I backlink like Sylvester Stallone in RAMBO..just mowing ‘em down….just to name a few of the more obvious techniques.
I have had very good success with all of the strategies above (I paid a lot of “dummy” taxes on Google Adwords when I first started). When a problem pops up from those marketing strategies I can usually resolve it (make it profitable) fairly quickly.
However….
The trickiest one for me (and many of my colleagues) has been the fricken vendors of the ezines and solo ads. Sheesh! I think some of these guys are seriously abusing their meds or standing next to the microwave too long while their corndogs are being cooked. These solo ads are usually boom or bust many times. The good vendors usually have recent client testimonials, respond in a timely and professional manner to your emails and questions, and provide the service you ordered in a reasonable amount of time. You may want to start by ordering a smaller batch of clicks from them to test the waters.
Sadly some of these solo ad vendors are complete jackasses. I want to share my personal firsthand experience with some of them to give others a fair warning. I will be updating this list and what happened for them to get called out by me.

Don’t Buy Solo Ads From This!
So forgive me if I’m a bit blunt. I want to give all these people the benefit of the doubt and assume something extreme was happening in their lives to prevent them from fulfilling their obligation to provide me service that I paid for up front and in good faith. these are not bad people as far as I know, they just failed to deliver what I expected.
SOLO AD VENDORS WHO MIGHT SUCK (my personal experience)
1. ChristianTimesNewsletter.com I paid $50 and got 7 clicks total and zero leads. $7.14 per click. Ouch.
2. Gary Baker Solo Ads – http://opportunity-advisor.com/soloadbooking.html – I ordered 500 clicks from this guy and he only delivered 285. After emailing him a few times he wrote back and said he would “get me more clicks the next day”….I’m still at 285 clicks after several weeks.
3. Clinton Douglas Solo Ads- http://www.soloadsforless.com – Nice guy here, but the service has been sloooooooow. I ordered 333 clicks for $99 on July 18 and now 5 weeks later only have 106 clicks. He has been good on responding to my emails promising to come through for me. So I am holding out hope this will finally finish its run.
4. More to come….
I will keep updating this list as I have poor experiences with a vendor. Please leave a comment below with any thoughts or your experiences with solo ad vendors (please be respectful and not use profanity)
