    Is anybody going to go with epilot ?

    Just got in my inbox.


    HI- I was recently informed that by the end of April 2004 all online casino advertisers of Overture, Google and Yahoo, will be affected by a new policy that could go into effect, which will no longer allow online casinos to promote and market their sites. Issues of whether or not online casino betting is illegal in the United States is still being debated, however critics of the grand jury investigation, including several legal experts, said that American businesses are within their legal free speech rights to publish their advertisements in the US. I realize some of you are quite upset about this move, so I wanted to take this opportunity to invite you back to ePilot.com to market your online casinos on ePilot and our Partner Distribution Network.

    A lot has changed with ePilot and our partners since you were last advertising here. We have increased the number of partners to our network to offer even more exposure to your business. Improved the quality of these partners and the traffic they provide and we have increased the speed of our results being sent out to these partners. Example being, in Q3 of 2003 we were averaging 300 million searches per month, with new hardware in place in Q4 2003, we are now averaging 1 Billion searches per month. Also, the cost to advertise on ePilot is about 1/10th the cost that you would be spending on Overture and Google. Currently the #1 bid on the keyword “online casinos” on Overture is $11.00, the top bid on ePilot for the same keyword is $1.28 and nearly 1 million searches were done on that keyword last month on ePilot.

    Please consider this an open invitation to contact me to discuss reactivating your ePilot account. My office hours are from 6am to 230pm PST M-F.

    :rolleyes:

    ePilot sucks as bad as Kanoodle. You would do just as well to throw the money out the window as to make a donation to ePilot.

    My experience exactly Professor,

    strangely it has been mentioned

    that someone somehow got a few “whales” from epilot

    personally I wouldn’t give them a penny.

    :rolleyes:

    There are a lot of daydreams and fantasies about whales and traffic and programs that magically produce for one while everyone else cant make a dime with them.

    Epilot were so poor last time I used them that I had forgotten they even existed. I’m not sure that I want to be reminded.

    Epilot MIGHT have changed recently, but their ethics in the past have really left a bad taste in advertisers AND partners. I am not sure if they really can be trusted. It’s worth it to try it out… but I really would never spend more than a few pennies per click… and I would track every single visitor to ensure they really are REAL visitors.

    That may have been me that mentioned a caught a few whales from ePilot.

    They were not HUGE (less than $20k spent) but it did make ePilot profitable for me. Without them I would have made nothing from ePilot.

    Also, I suspect that my “whales” were the result of just one whale who passed the word on to family or friends…

    I would not recommend ePilot, I got very lucky with them.

    From my experience, I give epilot zero trust …
    1 penny per click with them would be an expensive proposition.

    Yep, a penny a click is too much for epilot traffic.

    haha… your probably right. Its not worth the trouble to touch their traffic… they have so many partners out of china… etc… that are driving thousands of robot visitors to their advertisers sites. Epilots campaigns screw with the metrics and give affiliates wrong data to work it. I guess its really not worth the trouble to touch ’em.

    any stone diver PPC I have never made a dime off

    can’t think of their face names right off-hand, but if you look close enough, you’ll find somewhere it says, a stone diver site.

    as for epilot,

    agreed with above

    Xuppa sucks big time and they scam people into these large buys for “co-registration email lists”.

    They soaked me for $5k and I know of three others who got hammered by Xuppa with the same crap.
