Google Adwords Demographic Bidding

Got an email from Adwords today. It seems that they just opened a beta program where advertisers can bid on specific groups of people.

Demographic bidding is a way to help your ad reach audiences of a certain age or gender. If you want your ads to be seen by women aged 18-24, or people over 55, demographic bidding can help. Demographic bidding is a new feature which is now available to a limited number of AdWords users.

Ebooks, Ebooks, Stupid Ebooks

I have to admit that I got stuck in the Clickbank trap. Buying the next latest and greatest ebook on how to make thousands daily while I slept. And most turned out to be systems. Systems that would only work for a while until everyone was doing it. And I would try the system and the system would work, but the money would eventually slow down or the time I had to put in to get money out got to be more and more.

Wordpot – Free Keyword Tool

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.
