YO from philly Jim Cramer (MAD MONEY CNBC) said this was a strong buy even if they are at 10xsales! I bought 20 shares!
Marchex has been playing Google on Adwords and Adsense for Arbitrage. They entice you to one of their sites and then supply a list of Adsense ads for profit (most likely at a small loss as they try to snare new customers). Great for them — Bad for Google.
I was looking into using marchex but have seen about a million and a half reviews of them having clients banned from programs like adwords mainly because of ad and spyware which results in click fraud as well as some issues with robots Here is a thread from webmasters world which concerns me and makes me want to not use them. What is your opinion?
