Yodle makes false promises. I have recently signed up for their service. My account rep promised they could increase targeted traffic to my website. After the first few weeks of no traffic, they stopped returning email messages for updates on my account. I tried to get them to resolve the issue, but with no avail. Here is a quote from the last un-answered email. “3rd and final request. Next requests will go to the credit card company, BBB and the Attorney General Office of both our states, and RipOffReport.com.” I would have to caution anyone on wants to use this company, make sure you do your homework before selecting a company to do your online advertising.
