Well, thanks to some very-much-disliked people, I have found a way to get new ideas and then use those ideas to home in on niches that are profitable. This doesn’t mean that there’s no longer any work involved, but it does give me some direction and help me find a starting point.

The best thing about this method is that it happens to be right in front of our faces and most of us just miss it completely!

I’ve posted a video for you to watch that shows you exactly how to do this and it only takes a few minutes to do. Best of all, there are no expensive tools involved in this at all

So click the screenshot below to watch the short video and then be sure to let me know what you think about it!

I hope this helps you get some new campaign ideas off the ground and moving you toward making some money!

Let’s turn the tables for a minute now. Let’s say someone else is doing market research and keyword research, and they click YOUR ad? Hmm.. seems like a little bigger deal now, doesn’t it?? That random click just cost you money, just like it cost the other marketer money when you clicked on their ad!

What to do??

First of all, when doing research, NEVER click on the ads of another marketer. You wouldn’t like it if they did it to you, so don’t do it to them. What goes around, comes around… right?

Just as importantly, let me tell you how to do research without even racking up impressions on your ads… or anyone else’s ads.

Instead of going to Google.com to do market research or ad testing, go here: Adwords WW

Using this tool will allow you to search and do research, without causing anyone to accrue impressions on their keywords and ads, thereby not hurting anyone’s CTR. This is an awesome way to check to see where your own ads are showing for any given keyword too, again without racking up impressions and hurting your CTR.

Remember… as with anything else, even in the marketing world, what you give is what you get.

Now, go make some money!

Be blessed,

Curt

It used to be that when you used the Google keyword tools, the results would never show you actual search volume, but a bar graph, instead, showing relative search volume.

Now, instead of a plain bar graph, you get to see actual search volume numbers.

This is a HUGE breakthrough, in my opinion, because you no longer have to guess about search volume for a given keyword.

Let me explain. Because the old bar graphs showed their height based on relative volume, a tall bar graph might look exciting, but didn’t necessarily mean that there was, in fact, high search volume for that keyword or phrase.

Now, with actual search volume numbers right in front of you, it isn’t hard to see if the numbers are what you’re looking for or not.

Thanks, Google, for finally making a change that is definitely in the marketer’s favor.

Shame on you!

You’re missing out on some very valuable information! Your web server logs can help you find missing pieces to the traffic puzzle.

Did you know that your web server logs will show you exactly how people get to your web site?? That’s right. They’ll show you the exact search terms that people used to find your site… and some of those search terms are probably costing you money that you shouldn’t be spending.

Go ahead. Log in to your web server and view the logs. Look through the list of search terms that are shown and shake your head in wonder. Then, when you’re done shaking your head, start doing some copying and pasting.

Copy those words that have nothing to do with your site’s content and use them as negative keywords.

Then scan through the list and see if you can use the remaining searches to come up with new keywords to add to your PPC campaigns.

Go ahead. I dare you to check your web server logs!

Now, go and make some money!

Be blessed,

Curt
