google adwords - GoFuckYourself.com

4 days ago, I decided to try pushing a $20 per trial sponsor targeted to semi-crowded keywords on Google Adwords...

converts 1:85 by sponsor stats... 1:160 if you look at google's clicks to signups.

I was getting ready to pull the plug, although yesterday I did 4 signups so I thought it was picking up...

Today I get an email about grammar, language, and specific sexual content in my listings for keywords...

The highlight for me was reading:

"We do not allow ad text including "cock" to run on Google
at this time."

plus problems with using shorthand terms like "Sk8er," abbreviated grammar, etc.

All totalled, I ended up doing 7 total over 4 days, and I spent $220 to gross $140. My net being a tax write-off of $80.

I would assume that once you get your edited and compliant terms down and set your keywords, you can leave it running and see how it goes. The constant tweaks and monitoring at the outset didn't justify itself in sales, but I may try it again at some point.

Also, I sent direct to the sponsor, not through a filter page--which I should have done with a hub to further narrow down the surfer's intentions.

Of course, should have gone with a higher paying sponsor as well...

Hope this helps out anyone who is thinking about giving it a try...

Man ... ur competing with companies who are pushing their OWN sites and getting the entire sale with no shave. You can't compete with that.

The only way you can have any success with google adwords is to have your own program, or get lucky with a micro niche keyword.

You are so wrong, ummm I mean yea that, so don't bid there.

Heh... I went with the new sites since they were not tracking on searches yet... and not played the fuck out...

So will you be trying Adwords again?

AOLGuy · 06-12-2003, 12:48 AM

at some point, I might...

I had a better experience buying for my own sites last summer... but the problem was that I kept having to refine the keywords...

I don't think there is a magic formula, but if you can rotate sponsors and campaigns and have a filtering hub, you could probably make some $$ if you stayed on top of it throughout the day....
