Search Engine Marketing (SEM) Opportunities for ning.com

Queries that provide opportunities for this site to advertise through Search Engine Marketing (SEM) to get more traffic. They are popular queries that are relevant to the site, and have low competition in search engine marketing. Learn More Many sites are actively advertising in search engines for the most valuable search queries. This high level of competition tends to result in high advertising costs, which makes it difficult to find attractive advertising opportunities. These opportunities may still exist, however, by looking at the "long tail". The long tail contains search queries with lower Query Popularity, but such queries also tend to have lower QCI. By advertising for many of these queries, sites may still be able to manage an effective search engine marketing campaign. Note that not all queries on the long tail may be very relevant to this site, but this list may contain a number of strong advertising candidates.

Comments: Ning is probably a great site for developers and I started off with them a few years ago, when it was a free service. Developer, I am not. But, from my experience, the site was fast, responsive and easy to use, for blogging. It is more user friendly than Word Press and has been my redemption when Blogger temporarily went down. I've decided to move along because the expense of what I used as a Ning Blog has become a bit too rich for my blood but, still have plenty of folks who's networks I follow on Ning. When I emailed, after my annual renewal fees were deducted from my PayPal account, asking to cancel my subscription, I was refunded 100% of the fees. That was more than, I expected, or deserved. So, I can't help but give them a higher rating than some of the other complainers.

Comments: Ning was free up until a few months ago. They started charging a monthly fee. I initially signed up for the fee for 2 ning social networks. However, for the past month I have been trying to cancel from the website. Ning has no links that allow you to cancel your soc. networking site. They offer you the ability to cancel your individual page but the entire site, that you pay for, they don't offer a link to cancel that and they do this intentionally. I have sent several emails to Ning and have received no response while they continue to take the monthly fee from my PayPal account. Not giving customers the ability to cancel and not be charged the monthly fee is a terrible way to do business.

Comments: I had a network on this site for 2 years. I spent tens of thousands promoting it. In March 2009, ning ripped off all my members, and also millions of members of thousands of other network creators who trusted ning. After all of our hard work, ning invited all of our members to join a competing network ning set up. NING is a HUGE SCAM, run by con artists. Even after they fired the ceo who ran the scam, they did not have enough class to apologize. Despite nings ongoing totally fraudulent claim that you "own your own code," you do NOT own your code, and they can ruin your site anytime they wish as they have done to hundreds of network creators. Ning had made exporting your data impossible. The sites are slow as heck, the main pages of each network are cumbersome, and most members actually cannot figure out the sites. It is a poorly run company. Looking to create a social network? Look elsewhere, and don't go for the ning sting! BTW - I am interviewing law firms who are considering a class action v. ning for the massive ning fraud. They ripped off thousands of victims like me. Now they must pay....

Facebook User says: I've been in the social network scene since 2002 with the introduction of Friendster and MySpace... Since then I've watched as new networks popped up and they all competed for your attention. All the while, lurking in the dark was Ning. Taking the best of features of all the competing sites and giving them to you, the user, to create for yourself a community of your liking. If you're novice or an expert CSS coder, this site is for you. Unleash the power of your creative imagination and built your own following!
