Google Adwords Managed Placements – Use Them!
Jul 22nd
Here’s a quick post and a quick tip: use your Google Adwords managed placements.
If you are using Adwords to drive traffic to your site, you are losing out on low cost clicks if you don’t use managed placements. Use the placement locator tool to find some good potential sites to target. Content clicks can be had for a low CPC, and you will get higher CTR if you target sites properly.
Let me give you some stats from one of my personal campaigns:
- Average cost per click – $0.09
- CTR’s ranging from 1.3% to 5.73%
No, those CTR’s are nothing too special – but for the content network, it’s pretty good. I’m happy with it, and I’m making money from it.
But what I really like is the CPC of $0.09. That’s incredibly low, especially considering my CPC for search is between $0.50 and $0.79.
So go use the placement locator tool, get some low cost clicks, and thank me later!
That’s all for today – good luck,

Using Slideshare For Keyword Rankings
Apr 16th
I just had an interesting experience. I was Googling myself (dirty) and found that my Slideshare profile had shot up to the top of the rankings. It overtook all of my various profiles, websites, blogs, etc. Basically, Slideshare just one-up’d Squidoo, EzineArticles, Myspace, Twitter, WordPress.com, and others.
Here’s the kicker – I set up my Slideshare.net account one week ago. It has one presentation uploaded (which was done for a graduate class). And I haven’t friended, commented, or taken part in any of the community behaviors they allow on their site. So I did a little investigation to see if others were experiencing the same thing.
I found this interesting article about Slideshare and SEO: http://www.socialseo.com/leveraging-slideshare-to-gain-rank-in-the-search-engines.html More >
3 New Domains = 2 Products + 1 “Brand”
Mar 26th
So I like to keep this site up to date – but that often fails. Actually, I often fail. So instead of sharing any groundbreaking marketing tactics today (as if I knew any!), I thought I would tell you what I’m up to with my business.
This may not be new stuff to you, but maybe it is.
- I bought 3 new domains just a couple days ago, slapped WordPress on those babies, and now I’m working up some content.
- 2 domains are for new products. $97 for each course, probably downloadable content. But they could be physical – I’m not 100% sure about it yet. I considered adding some continuity, but I’ll keep it simple for now. I’m running them through PayDotCom for a few affiliates. And I’ll be using PPC for my main traffic source – got some good keywords that won’t cost much at all. More >
Keyword Rich Domain Names – Does It Matter?
Jan 9th
Marc D. Ensign wrote an article for an SEO newsletter I receive (don’t ask, I don’t even remember how I got signed up for it). Anyway, the article was supposed to “debunk” several SEO myths – but I had a bone to pick with one in particular. Here’s the quote: More >
