AdwordAccelerator is Open for New Members

April 6, 2007 | Leave a Comment

If you sell products, you probably advertise on the web. You probably use Google’s Adwords, too, since almost everyone does…

But, did you know you can get a head start on the competition by researching keywords, prices and competing ads?

That’s the function of Adword Accelerator, the program and online database that is designed to help YOU make your Adwords spending more effective.

Normally all you can do is sign up on the waiting list, so you can join when the doors open again. They’re OPEN.

AdsenseAccelerator Open for New Members - March 13th!

March 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment

I’m Not Sure Why I Did It…Waited, that is…

I had been one of the beta testers on AdsenseAccelerator, a great new tool for focusing web sites on the valuable Adsense keywords and for spotting cheap keywords — and building the right keyword lists for advertising via Google’s Adwords.

I liked the AdsenseAccelerator beta and liked that the tool is an online service, not a single purchase of a tool that can become obsolete. Even better, it’s not one of those “high-paying keywords” lists that is out of date when you get it.

AdsenseAccelerator includes hugely powerful tools for generating keywords, more keywords, and recycling keywords for even more keyword phrases — and I get to choose whether I’m targeting high value, medium value or low value keywords. That would be high and medium for my sites and low value for ads that I place <grin>

When I create a new web site, I can focus the right words from the start!

AdsenseAccelerator helps me take web pages that I’ve already created, examine them to identify the topics and applicable keywords. Then, by changing a few keywords so that I use the higher-value keywords, I can greatly raise the value of an Adsense click

I quickly reworked a few pages. My Terry’s Home Theater site got the first workover. Without changing the meaning, without changing the message, just by picking the right words, I dramatically changed the Adsense ads that show — and they should have considerably higher value.

AdsenseAccelerator Opens Again to New Members on Tuesday March 13th!
The Last few times it has opened to add new members,

Don’t miss your chance to use AdsenseAccelerator!

Joel’s lost his mind

January 22, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Maybe it’s all he money he’s making from Adsense…

http://www.drawingontheweb.com/r/ads1995special

Adsense guru Joel Comm wrote an ebook a few years ago called Adsense Secrets - What Google Never Told You About Making Money With Adsense. I bought it — at the price of $79.

Then, he came out with the 2nd edition — and I bought it at about a 50% upgrade price.

Then, he came out with the 3rd edition. He raised the list price to $97, too. But I got it from him for a pretty good upgrade price.

I still think each of these purchases was worthwhile. Each edition was updated and had a lot of new tips and techniques.

But, now, Joe’s lost his mind!

Now, he’s dropped the price to $19.95. I don’t know how long the price will be so low, but now’s your chance to get his book at a great price.

Getting Better Web Site Statistics

December 8, 2006 | Leave a Comment

One of the most important things to do, after you get your site initially up and going, is to watch your web statistics.

You want to know which web pages are getting visitors, which sites are referring others to you, which search engines are referring people to your site, what search terms they used to find you, and a lot more.

There are some good statistics packages that most web hosts offer, including Awstats and Webalizer. Powweb, the hosting company that I use, installs Awstats for free.

Those are pretty good for high-level statistics for everyday sites. But, they don’t let you dig deeply enough into the statistics, at least the way the web hosting companies usually set them up.
But, if you’re using Adsense or Yahoo Publisher Network pay-per-click ads on your site, you will want a lot more.

How about an easy view of multiple domains’ activity, multiple web pages activity, all the search keywords that people used to get to your site, how many Google or YPN ads they saw, and how many they clicked on!

Yeah, Google’s and Yahoo’s tracking systems will tell you that — if you want to spend that much time setting up all the specific tracking (and if you don’t have too many different URLs or “channels” you want to track.

Adsense Gold is the tool that I use multiple times a day to monitor my site. It’s a lot easier than going to Google and YPN, plus a lot more information. It has real-time updating, since it’s storing data in a MySQL database on your site and served from your site.

It’s the best tool I’ve found to tell me which of my pages are getting the visits — and how visitors are responding to the Google and YPN ads on the page. That way, I know where I need to focus my redesign, rewriting, etc. efforts.
