Awesome Tips to create Adwords!

Lets face it. Most people write ads that suck!

Ads must be written so that they communicate a very strong benefit and also contain a message to market match. If you can learn how to do this, you can do well with adwords, although this is just one piece of many in the puzzle. Other pieces including the landing page, and the copy on the landing page etc.

Just recovered from a two week vacation in Canada and the Caribbean. Great to see such a different world in the Caribbean. Boy are they relaxed and chilled out over there or what?
I'm seriously considering moving over there!

OK lets get back to business now ... here's what's been happening:
Google whacks and slaps me
One of my long running campaigns (running for over a year) was recently whacked out of existence by Google.

It was earning me around $500 profits per day on average! Can you imagine having to say goodbye to $15,000 in profit overnight?!

Well I have learned over time that the best response is as follows:

1. Give yourself a short 5 minute window within which to curse, swear and shout till your heart's content. "Sunzabitches", "communist bast*rds", "damm a**holes" etc. etc. Yes, get every possible curse or swear word out, get it out of your system with full force.
Once that 5 minutes is over. That's it. No more cursing, moaning, moaping whining and whinging. It does nothing for you.

2. Get back on your feet and lay out plans as to how you are going to get that $500 per day back. Google disapproved an entire campaign because I was violating their guidelines. Never be afraid to challenge and question Google. So I've engaged in a discussion with them, and I am on track now to recreate my campaign whilst keeping inside of their guidelines.

3. In hindsight, I think the Google whack has been a good thing in this case. I've just discovered I could have been making more money than I was previously. I've made my campaign and associated content and website(s) better. And it took me four days to do it after musing and thinking carefully around the whole thing.
Important Lesson: Always treat bad things as a signal for change that leads to a better good. Never get lost in the past, try to discover and define what comes next.

Getting Your Adsense Noticed!

You hear often about people complaining and whining about their Adsense accounts being inactivated, and they claim that they have not done anything wrong.

What a lot of people don't understand, especially those who are new, is that by reading the Google Adsense Terms of Service it becomes absolutely clear that the use of auto-surf, pay-to-surf, pay-to-read, or pay-to-click sites is against their rules because it amounts to incentivized clicking. For this reason accounts are closed because of "invalid clicks". Notice the term "invalid clicks" and not "fraudulent clicks". Invalid clicks is a broader term.

Google is very smart - and can determine the source of your traffic.

Traffic exchange services like "Traffic Swarm" and whatever is similar to it is the type of incentivized clicking that could get you banned from Adsense.

With my Google Adsense business, I have never ever used any kind of traffic schemes, most of them are useless anyway. It is better to put strategies in place to get natural search engine traffic.

For those of you who already have an adsense account I would advise you to be very careful about how you acquire your traffic.

Quality Traffic!

I noticed when looking through the statistics logs recently that this site, and some of the member's sites are getting visitors from websites that sell traffic or which serve as traffic exchanges.

Whenever I see a practice that I do not deem to be greatly beneficial I make sure I point it out. One of the things you must realise as a person who knows how to make money online is that the quality of traffic is quintessential. With the right type of traffic, you can rake in fortunes. With the wrong type of traffic, you can waste huge amounts of time and money.

Now I remember I used to pay for these services that would deliver like 100,000 visitors over a period of a month or something. I would drive these visitors to a page where I had Searchfeed ads, and guess what, not a single click. Most of these traffic services are scams.

What basically happens is that these people have large networks of sites that do get huge traffic. Then what they do is using hidden frames, they simply load your site - so that you get a visitor. The visitor to the site does not even see your page. So you have got your visit (it will show up in your stats) but without the visitor even seeing your page!
