Google Adwords Campaign Optimizer
Just found this today in my Adwords account. Does it work? Yes. But you have to check everything out first.
Of course, they optimize your keywords up to number one position. So unless your ready to start paying out the teeth, you have to take these suggestions with a grain of salt. It’s great for long tail keywords. But many times a lower position with better ad copy will win out. Let all the new "kill ‘em all" hot shot advertiser’s pay out the teeth.
Wordpot – Free Keyword Tool
This is a great little free keyword tool that seems to grab more of the longtail phrases than the Overture or Google keyword tool. It also doesn’t seem to limit it’s search to words with more than three letters. Typing "how to" into the search box has some interesting results. I only wish the list of keywords found wasn’t limited.
Ebay affiliates can no longer use paid advertising
I guess Ebay got tired of their affiliates trying to get a jump on new Ebay niches like Dead Steve Irwin. Just trying to step on a few innovative spammers toes. After all, everyone I know needs another dead body in their house.
Or maybe this has something to do with the new StumbleUpon acquisition. Who knows? But I am pretty sure there is a lot of affiliates scrambling for ideas right now similar to the time the government cracked down on internet gambling and the affiliates of those programs.
Google Adwords Industry Related Help
There are now case studies and tips available for specific industries. Some interesting information. There’s a lot to learn there, more than you get with most $39 Clickbank ebooks.
ROI in Adwords
I had slacked off on using Adwords lately until this week. I got tired of it. It seemed so much of a hassle coming up with keywords. Not so much that but before as I started running more and more campaigns to make more, I had less patience tweaking them and streamlining them to product the profit I wanted. Instead I settled with spending a buck to make two. And instead built more and more campaigns.
And then I left them totally alone until they trickled off to nothing.
