StuporWare.. make that... Tupperware

Who can make sense out of this crap?


AnnaKoolaid,

Who is reporting this? How do they know it goes to my site? Are they clicking with the intention to purchase Tupperware Online as the ad states or are they committing click fraud? I would like to report them to Google. Also, I would like that you provide analytics for my site, so I can monitor who is clicking on my ads including Tupperware IT dept. You do not have a right to click on ads without the intention of going to a site for the purpose that it is advertising...this amounts to click fraud. I suggest your consultants and IT department stop this practice immediately.

I have quit advertising for Tupperware on Google completely, as I have discovered a cheaper and more effective way of getting my site to the top of search engines. Also, if people want to advertise for me without my knowledge I don't know how to prevent that...I can continue to ask them to stop, but I highly doubt that they will...most people that I know LOVE a good underdog story and cause. Maybe the consultants that have forwarded you the information can help you find a way to police all advertising in the world -- or at least a way to take over Google, so you can control all the advertising on Google!

Thank you,
E

I wanted to follow up with you on the ads that we have had complaints about. It turns out that the 3 complaints I received were all for the same ad, and I've attached a screen shot of that one, it's pointing to ilovedildos.com.

If you need any help at all, please let me know.

Thanks,

What a friggin joke.

If you were a publicly traded company, your main obligation is to serve the best interest of the shareholders. In other words, make some MONEY!

Then why in the Hell would a company enforce such restrictive rules and regulations upon your sales staff and hinder their ability to promote and sell the company's product?

That is exactly what Tupperware, a publically traded company with a stock symbol of TUP does.

I explained this situation to a good friend of mine, and she came up with the best analogy I have heard... It is like playing the game, Taboo, [from Wikipedia]

The objective of the game is for a player to have their partner guess the word on their card without using the word itself or five additional words listed on the card.

Killer Analogy (thanks Anna)!!!

Tupperware consultants, according to their "Internet Policy", are not allowed to use the word Tupperware when advertising their website.

Oh Really??!?! hmmmmm....

THEY, TUP, claim, that anyone with enough money to advertise will take all the traffic directed to the various Tupperware Internet Sales Sites, (including their own).

And that is only part of the reason they impose such restrictions, rules and regulations on their "Internet Specialists".



Well Shit.. if I want to spend my money with Google or any other advertising agency, on the word Tupperware, or the word Toecheese, for that matter, ITS MY GODDAMN BUSINESS!

I don't pitch a fit or cry foul that I can not afford to take out a SuperBowl Sunday ad promoting Tupperware?!!?! The companies that can AFFORD to promote their product take out ads on SuperBowl Sunday, those who can not, don't. Its that GodDamn simple.

It can not get any more clear.

It is the American Way.
It is Capitalism.
It is what shareholders LOVE.
It is why the Middle East HATES US!

It is the same concept within Tupperware. If you want to spend your money advertising the taboo word, Tupperware to drive traffic to their site, they should be able to. Its THEIR GD money!!!

Unless I am completely high



this is the clincher as I see it... all sales proceeds from the Tupperware Consultants' websites all go toward the bottomline of Tupperware, or TUP, if you will. Did I mention that Tupperware is a publically traded company with a stock symbol of TUP??? Wouldn't the Tupperware company WANT this? Or I should say, the Shareholders? Shareholders want MORE sales? no Matter WHERE it comes from? I say YES... nyet... I say "HELL YES"

I honestly believe that the KnuckleNuts at the top of the CrapperWare foodchain are getting a piece of the pie, and that when an honest, hardworking person that thinks outside-the-box comes along, shakes the tree and threatens their BullShit, Territorial, Bogus policies, they hide behind these restricting policies in order protect their piece of the pie....

WOULD THE Tupperware Shareholders approve of this practice???

Perhaps after I buy 5 shares of TUP, attend the shareholders meeting and bring these faulty, bogus, territorial sales practices to the Board of Directors and the rest of the Shareholders. I really don't think they will like, once they think about the BottomLine.




oh yeah.... listen to zizakdotcom




















bitches.

AdSense.. directly from Google regarding word searches

You mean to tell me Tupperware's 'Crack' I.T. Dept. can not understand this logic?
THIS is the reason why my wife's marketing dollars have been flushed wasted, THIS is why my wife has lost sales for effectively understanding and using Google's AdSense Advertising System? THIS is what Tupperware Board Members are paying their crack I.T. staff for? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE SHITTING ME!!!?!?!!

Hello K@@@@@,Thank you for your email regarding how closely your keywords need to matchsearch queries in order to trigger your ad. It actually is possible thatyour ad will be shown with the search query 'Tupperware' even though'Tupperware' is not on your keyword list.

Despite the expanded matching feature, if there is a particular keyword that you would always like tohave trigger your ad, we do recommend that you add that keyword to yourlist in order to ensure that that keyword always triggers your ad.With expanded matching, the Google AdWords system automatically runs yourads on relevant keywords, including synonyms, related phrases, andplurals, even if they aren't in your keyword lists. For example, if you'recurrently running ads on the keyword 'kitchen storage,' expanded
matchingmay run your ad on the related term 'Tupperware.'

The expanded matches will change over time as our system learns more about which new keywords best suit the true meaning of your ads. Expanded matching only applies to your broad-matched keywords. Thisfeature doesn't affect keywords you've specified as phrase matches(keywords surrounded by double quotation marks) or exact matches (keywords surrounded by [] brackets).

Also, expanded-match terms aren't included inour calculations for your keywords' Quality Scores; therefore, they don'taffect your minimum bids.For more information about how our keyword matching options work, visit:https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6100&hl=en_US.If you have additional questions, please visit our Help Center athttps://adwords.google.com/support to find answers to many frequentlyasked questions.

Will Google bring up my ad when someone types in a word that Im not even paying for? I.E. someone types in Tupperware but Im not paying for that keyword. Maybe it brings up my ad because I have the word Tupperware in my URL, Title and description text?

My Wife Sells Tupperware... or does she?

Holy Cow... I said it... the magic word... Tupperware.

I hope I do not get sued or my blog shutdown...

Please allow me to explain. I will [try to] make it brief.

This word, Tupperware, according to the good folk at Tupperwarebrands.com, whose publicly traded company's stock symbol is TUP, indicate to my wife, that she can not bid on the word 'Tupperware' via Google's AdSense System in order to sell their product.

The pisser is that she didn't even purchase 'Tupperware' to direct traffic to her my.tupperware.com/misshotstuff site.... this time.

Lemme back up a bit... when she became a Tupperware consultant 2 months ago and her site was shutdown because her AdSense ad came up when Tupperware was searched... With no explanation!! get this... SHE had to call their inept "I.T." Department to find out WHY she was shutdown.

[and yes.... i can call them inept since i have been professionally employed in the technology industry for over 16 years... these guys take the proverbial cake. Essentailly, they get on shift Monday morning and try to catch people using 'Tupperware' as a Google AdSense word]

WOW! GET
A
LIFE!

This alone illustrates that they do not understand the AdSense system.. but more on this later... remember? Trying to make it brief....

So as a technically saavy husband, who can smell BullShit a mile away, my Stink-O-Meter is off the Charts.

>

First off, I have to commend my wife for her persistence, perseverance and dedication to her business and the Tupperware brand name.
No doubt, she is beyond informed and loyal regarding the Tupperware brand...

This just represents many of the qualities of hers I fell in love with.

So [trying to make it brief] Here are my issues about this whole scene:

* She is a smart, hard-working person [Hello, Straight A's for ALL pre-med classes... Also, did I mention that she already has a degree from SacState in Information Systems] trying to earn a couple extra bucks honestly and creatively... it seems somewhere along the Tupperware upline, there are forces working against her... for whatever reason... and I know damn well she is not the only one in this situation... judging by others in her situation easliy found on the internet.

* Deceptive recruiting practices... Why recruit "Internet Specialists" if you do not let them use their skills and technology to generate valuable sales for themsleves and the company??

* Sketchy [at best] Administrative Processes. Why provide Tupperware Rules and Regulations to the Consultant AFTER they have already signed on the dotted line... leaving no opportunity to review the Documentation and decide for themselves if they want to continue their pursuit as a Tupperware Consultant.

* Accounting of Online Transactions... you mean to tell me that a publically traded company, Tupperware, with the stock symbol of TUP, can not account for the online traffic to a given Tupperware Consultant's Bridal Registry? You mean to tell me they can not tell who visits the site, who visited the Online Bridal Registry, and who purchased product from a Google AdSense link? Oh Really???

* Why does Tupperware discourage, even penalize [shutdown paid-for my.tupperware.com sites] Registered, Valid Tupperware Sales Consultants from using the Internet or any other means necessary to generate sales for a publicly traded company?? hmmm.... Is the 1-2% at the top making all the money from the Internet generated revenue? Do they stand to lose so much from the up-and-coming technologically saavy Tupperware Consultants that they would rather hide behind bogus policies and procedures than to welcome the competition for the benefit of the Tupperware [TUP] shareholders??? I wonder if the TUP boardmembers know of these issues.... It's pretty east to locate their information online...

[Mental Note: Forward this blog to appropriate board members.]

* I wonder why Tupperware is reported to have prohibited or roadblocked Internet sales by its distributors because it believes personal demonstrations are necessary for proper sales of its products. But will still charge them $7.50 - $15 a month to have a Tupperware.com website???

* I wonder why the FTC is proposing new rules that would require the nation's estimated 1,500 multilevel marketing companies such as Tupperware to tell potential recruits how many sales representatives have failed to earn more than startup costs, as well as how many customers have filed lawsuits for deceptive practices, among other provisions in a 90-page filing.

* I am tired. She is upset. The kids have fell asleep. I need to take care of my wife. And someone at Tupperware needs to address these issues a.s.a.f.p.

BTW, this ISthe abridged version... so there will be more, with plenty of documentation and references for YOU to check out to see exactly what I am talking about...

Stay tuned....
