find 3-5 word keyphrases to get onOriginally posted by kuthi123what is the max bid for noobs? i went max bid $1 for penis enlargement spent $1000 and made only 1/2 of money only.And getting clicks for my ad also very tough for me.Any advise on these?
instead of [penis enlargement]
try
[get a bigger penis]
just an example..
work your maxbid backwards... if you think the site will convert 1:100, and you earn $50 per sale.. $50/100 = $0.50 maxbid to break even.
if you need to at least make 10% on your money, you can bid ~45 cents.254342256Comment

yes, opt out of the class action suit so you can sue them later.Originally posted by shackShould I mount my own 90 million dollar case against google?
part of the settlement for the suit locks you into never being able to sue google again for anything relating to bad clicks.254342256Comment

from my experience a lot of pages never get adsense review.. i'm not sure what triggers it, but i do know what IPs they come from.. i don't have them handy right now, server they're on is down for maintenance.. icq me tomorrow and i'll get you a list of google editorial IPs, then you can find out for yourself.Originally posted by fuzzylogichow long does it take for adsense rep's to review/approve new sites/pages adsense code gets pasted on?254342256Comment

0.01 technically, but depending on your account/campaign/adgroup/keyword historical performance, it will be adjusted from 0.01 to $10.00.Originally posted by greenfacewhats the min. bid per keyword?
The basic version is this:
If your ads historically get a high CTR, it'll be cheaper.
But it's much, much more complex than that.
AdWords sends Googlebot out now to spider the landing page, and it evaluates it for relevancy and quality.
Want to see a fun test?
Try running an ad on [home depot], in a new campaign. you'll get a huge minimum bid, $1-5.
Now, try making that same ad, but use homedepot.com for the display url, and destination url.
Voila 5 cent clicks. Course, you're sending them to homedepot. But there are ways to capitalize on this bug.254342256Comment

would it be easier if i just gave you the login for my adwords manager account? and my cc?Originally posted by ztikWhat site do you use for lead generation? What keywords, bids, ect? Hook it up
254342256Comment

to answer the reasonable part of that though.. i develop my own conversion-optimized sites to capture leads, once i've struck a deal with someone to buy the leads for that niche.
a good one is vacation rentals.
[cityname vacation rental]
leads are worth $5-10, clicks cost 50 cents. my sites convert at 34% with a valid phone number.254342256Comment

mainstream by far.. just because i don't focus much on adult, presumablyOriginally posted by Sloaneare you able to make most campaigns you start profitable, or is it still very hit and miss with adwords?
do you make more revenue from mainstream or adult?
adwords is hit and miss, no doubt.. it is entirely possible for me to start a campaign that i know will 100% be profitable, but very low volume..
the tricky parts are being able to make high volume campaigns profitable.
this goes back to the earlier post in this thread i made about using 3-5 word keyphrases, instead of your one-worders.
i.e.
if you sold headlights, don't advertise on headlights. advertise on model numbers, and [honda accord headlights], etc.
the latter method will have much, much less volume.. but will probably convert 10x better.254342256Comment

this is a tricky question. i got in a war with google over not being able to exclude their shitty domain parking partners, and now they did something (i quote, "this is an exception, this is not our normal procedure") to my account to manually block them. so now, i leave the search network on.Originally posted by sacXdo you disable search or content network?
the search network includes valuable traffic, like AOL, earthlink, etc. this is some of the highest converting consumer traffic on the web.
content network: go into campaign settings and enable content bidding. then content bid like 5-10 cents on your keywords.
keep in mind if these campaigns are adult, you'll not get any content impressions anyways. but search, you will.254342256Comment

interesting, i'm looking harder at some of the search network traffic. I've read that some people have complained about the lack of being able to block certain search partners and have had google acquiesce. Are there any search partners u really don't like? i've found oingo, and zapmeta to be sub-par.Comment

google blocked oingo for me, and refunded all my clicks that came from them.. ended up being almost 2kOriginally posted by sacXinteresting, i'm looking harder at some of the search network traffic.
