Posted September 12, 2006 Comments(0) If you”re using Google”s Adwords pay-per-click ads to advertise products or services (or your web site!), there”s a great tool to help you in figuring out the right prices for your ads.
It”s AdwordAccelerator and I”m using it with my Adwords campaigns. It”s been closed to new memberships for a while, though.
This Wednesday, September 13th, they are opening the doors to allow 50 new members into AdwordAccelerator
Based on recent experience with its sister product AdsenseAccelerator, AdwordAccelerator should sell out on these memberships in a very few days (AdsenseAccelerator opened up for 75 mew members on a Friday and sold out on Monday).
I have found that Adwords is a very easy way to spend money on advertising. AdwordAccelerator helps me spend it more effectively!
AdwordAccelerator is a desktop program that runs on Windows and that has access to an online database of Adwords keywords, bids, and competing ads. Without signing up, you can watch the video tutorials on the website. You can also sign up for their free “AdWords Power User” tutorial.
AdwordAccelerator gives me a great keyword tool to find alternative keywords for your product — and to figure out which keywords are worth my time and money. I can see the numbers of clicks and prices for various keywords. Also, I can even see the ads from the competition and estimates of how much they”re paying per click.

Posted August 14, 2006 Comments(0) I just spotted a new service Secret Article Converter today that is now helping me handle “private label rights” articles more efficiently.
You see, Google and the other search engines are always on the lookout for content. They spider web sites routinely to find good content.
They also try to spot duplicate content and frequently discard it from their listings, or at least it never gets good rankings.
Private label rights articles are articles written by third parties and sold, including selling the rights to take the article, modify it and to treat it as your own.
This is a great way to get content. But, it is still vulnerable to the duplicate content penalty.
Secret Article Converter is a new web-based tool to take an article and then allow you, the user, to easily convert it to a unique article. You can apply as much or as little customization, as much or as little control as you want to the process.

Posted July 14, 2006 Comments(0) I”ve just purchased and implemented translation software at my various sites:
Check out the translation flags at the bottom of the page – you can view the site in English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Korean and Simplified Chinese.
This is a great idea for a content-based site, especially if you”re trying to make some money with pay-per-click advertising such as Adsense, Yahoo Publisher Network or Chitika eMiniMalls.
I”m using some new web site translation software that is fantastic and easy to install.

Posted June 19, 2006 Comments(0) There are two good pay-per-click advertising systems for sellers — Yahoo Search Marketing and Google Adwords.
Yahoo Search Marketing has been around much longer — it used to be called Overture.
Google”s Adwords is much newer and it”s how Google makes much of its money.
In both cases, advertisers sign up, create ads, identify keywords for which they want to show their ads, bid for placement in the results, and then pay only when someone clicks on their ads. Both Yahoo Search Marketing and Google Adwords offer sellers a chance to have their ads shown as “sponsored ads” on search results and on content-related web pages.
They operate a little differently. Yahoo Search Marketing has a “deposit money to cover your ads” system, while Google Adwords has a “charge you afterwords” system. Both charge directly to your credit card(s).
Yahoo Search Marketing has made a significant change recently. They lowered their initial deposit to $5, which is applied to future pay-per-click charges. They also eliminated their $20 minimum monthly charge!
Google Adwords has a $5 signup fee, which is not applied to charges.
Posted May 30, 2006 Comments(0) Do you sell physical goods or sell services or sell downloadable products? Do you sell them in a store, by mail or via the Internet?
If you do, whether you have a physical store or not, you”re leaving money on the table if you don”t check out Google”s Adwords program. Adwords can give you a big edge — and can result in buyers who might never visit your store or see your print or mailed ads.
Adwords is a “Pay Per Click” (PPC) system. Your ad can show thousands of times, but you only pay when someone actually clicks on one of your ads. You have the choice of price — you bid for the maximum price you”re willing to pay for a click. And, the best guide to getting started is Google Cash.
Google”s Adwords advertising system even lets you target individual ad campaigns to specific geographical areas, such as countries, states and cities.
