Review of Citysearch

December 8th, 2009 Julia May No comments

Our Review of Citysearch

We started advertising with Citysearch this year and so far, the experience has been ok to poor.

Isn’t it ironic that a site that is dedicated to user reviews does NOT have its own profile page for users to review?

We don’t normally air out problems like this, but since Citysearch is a review website that does not have its own review page, we thought we’d share our experience like other reviewers on Citysearch.

Overall Score:  1.5 (out of 5)

This is mainly due to service.  Here are some examples:

  1. They setup our account wrong, where the budget was blown in 2 days, and we had to claw our way to get our money back.
  2. Account rep does not reply in a timely manner.  Forget emails, as they are rarely answered.  Phone calls work better, but don’t help if trying to solve a problem that requires email.  Another thing ironic for a web-based organization.
  3. Random charges on credit card with no explanation.   Then, you have to deal with #2.
  4. Reps don’t provide good advice/enough information.  Spoke with Rep about changing Ad type to see if it would work better and asked if there’s anything else we should know about this type of Ad.  Rep said no, so we switched.  Later found that this resulted in the wrong setup that blew our monthly budget in 2 days.  They then changed something.  Following month, our Ad just plain did not show up and the Rep did not know what triggers the Ad so that our Ad would display.   So much for “anything else we should know”.

Is Citysearch right for you?  Maybe.  So far, we have been underwhelmed.

How about you?  What has your experience been?  What what you rate Citysearch?

Update:

Can’t see or edit our profile – we get an error message.  So I emailed the rep.  No word, so called 2 days later and spoke with her.  After she couldn’t see our profile either, she said she would ask tech support.

No word back.  Although we’re getting clicks, it’s quite frustrating that we can’t see or edit our profile/ad for which we’re paying.

Dropped Citysearch 1/2 star to 1.5.  #fail

Of all of the crazy things, why doesn’t someone make a wall-plugin that makes the air smell like food?

This could be a long list, but here are some ideas:

  • Fresh Brewed Coffee
  • Bacon
  • Roast in Oven
  • Pumpkin Pie
  • Fudge Brownies
  • Chocolate Chip Cookies
  • Baking Bread in Oven

Why hasn’t someone done this already?

Is Social Media Taking Time Away From Family?

October 26th, 2009 Julia May No comments
Time Slips Away

Time Slips Away

This question was asked in an NPR radio show a couple of weeks ago and really got me thinking.

The radio show had a couple of callers where the wife said that dad comes home and then hops on the computer.  When one of the sons pleads for dad’s attention, dad says “In a minute.”  An hour later, he emerges, but the son has gone on to something else.

Wow.  I’ve been guilty of this and see that Social Media and the internet really does take time away from the family.

This made me think about the message I’m sending the kids.  That mom & dad are always on the computer and ignores them when they want attention.  Talk about a message you don’t want to send.

At the same time, the urge to shop, get news, send Tweets, update friends on Facebook, etc. is so hard to pull out of.  As a mom with an internet-based company to run and grow, who relies heavily on social media and the internet, this battle for time is especially difficult.

I’m going to try to restrict my time on the computer so I can give the kids quality time, especially around dinnertime.  Will that do the trick?  Don’t know yet, but will be finding out.

How about you?  What do you think and what do you do?

The Family That Plays Together Stays Together

This is a guest article by Joy Supplee of Custom Fit Nutrition.

—————————————————————————————

We’re always hearing that we need to get more exercise but our busy schedules seem to get in the way.  Gym memberships can be a great motivator for some, but can be difficult to maintain over time.  And what about time with your family or significant other?

Wii Fit Plus

Wii Fit Plus

Here’s an idea to promote both a healthful lifestyle and time with your loved ones: consider purchasing a Wii Active or Fit system or even a used Play Station II system with Dance Dance Revolution for a lower cost option. These are video game systems that you can use for either personal workouts or fun physical games & competition with your loved ones.  And many video game stores will offer refurbished models at a lower price that even come with warranties.

It won’t matter what the weather looks like outside, you won’t have to drive anywhere and you will be spending quality time with your loved ones and having fun as well as improving your health!  How can you beat that?
