You know I was wondering if anyone else felt that way about the phone companies..... and it's not limited to only them... We get phone calls from Discover all the offering to do
SEO or give us a web site. I usually just say.... what's the name of my business and what do you think I do? Freakin' Morons.
I agree with you on these companies driving the cost of PPC advertising up. I advertised on SuperPages.com for 6 months. My budget just kept going up until I couldn't afford it anymore. Our sales guy would call and say that my competition just increased their budget and PPC cost. In the end its all about $$$ and not service with these guys.
