How to Skyrocket Your Paid Search Profits
Thursday April 30th 2009, 8:49 pm
Filed under: Uncategorized
Faced with a mediocre or worse performing paid search campaign and the pressure to allocate resources elsewhere, many businesses choose to drop their paid search or scale back their budgets - leaving ripe buyers waiting to be harvested by their competitors.
If you face paid search challenges, before you decide to drop or scale it back, try these proven strategies to skyrocket your profits.
A. Get “Down and Dirty” with Keyword-Level Tracking
Track your paid search campaign at the keyword-level. To manage an effective paid search campaign, you must know your “per click” results from the money you have spent.
For example, if you have 1,000 keywords active in your paid search campaign and you spend a total of $3,000 a month - do you know which of the 1,000 keywords generated your sales?
What if 80% of your sales came from 20% of your keywords? Moreover, what if this 20% accounted for just a small percentage of your $3,000 monthly cost?
Without keyword-level tracking you will not be able to make financially beneficial assessments. Time-tested experience shows that the 80/20 rule applies to pay-per-click marketing.
WARNING: Beware of Matching Options!
Although matching options (i.e. broad, advanced, exact, phrase and so on) offered by Google Adwords, Overture and other paid search engines provide “convenience” they unfortunately skew your keyword performance results.
If you setup a “broad-match” for the keyword “real estate”, you will attract visitors who have entered any possible variation of the term “real estate” including geographically specific “real estate” keywords like “Arizona real estate” that may have absolutely no relevance to your product or service.
Although it takes more time to add exact (or standard) keywords to your paid search campaigns, you will reap significant rewards and a quick payback from the profits generated through understanding your individual keyword performance.
B. Developing Custom Landing Pages
I have written a great deal about landing pages lately. Why? Because they generate profitable results through converting paid search visitors into customers.
Paid search marketing is unique compared to natural search. In part because you have the convenience to select specific keywords, write specific ads and direct the click-through to a specific web page (a.k.a. landing page). This “connect-the-dots” process creates the need for consistency among a visitor’s expectation from the keyword they enter to the ad that draws their attention and down to the web page, they “land-on”. Relevancy and consistency are essential for an effective paid search campaign.
When I review a marketing plan and its associated strategies with clients, they often laugh because I get passionate about the power of landing pages. I get passionate because they work so well at generating leads and sales that I can’t believe everyone is not using them!
So what are landing pages? A “landing page” is a custom web page developed exclusively for a paid search campaign. It is highly keyword relevant (so you may have multiple landing pages tied to different sets of keyword themes) and they focus a visitor’s attention on one call-to-action (e.g. requesting a visitor to take immediate action). The sales copy (content) on a landing page connects the visitor with the paid search ad and keyword they searched for and clicked from.
The copy is strongly benefit-oriented (e.g. communicates the value the visitor will receive from your product or service). A landing page’s layout and graphics relate and support the keyword and paid ad.
For instance, if a visitor clicks on your paid search ad for the keyword “website conversion” in Google and arrives at your landing page, the landing page will clearly communicate “website conversion”, how website conversion will benefit them and presents a call-to-action like a contact form for them to complete.
It may also contain a “secondary call-to-action” which could offer a lower commitment action like an email opt-in in case a visitor is not ready for a higher commitment action (e.g. request a phone call) yet still wants to begin a relationship with the business. Testimonials, case studies, and graphics all support the benefit and value of “website conversion”. In essence, the whole visitor “experience” created by the landing page is “website conversion” and its value to the visitor.
For example, if a visitor expects to find “real estate book” as demonstrated by their keyword search, your landing page should present a “real estate book”, (relevancy), offer a consistent message with the paid ad that attracted the visitor to click-through (consistency) and communicate your product or service benefits to fit the visitor’s needs (connection). If you get these three right (assuming that you have a quality product and a fair market price point) on your landing page, your leads or sales will skyrocket while your costs drop.
One of the reportedly major reasons why paid search campaigns fail is because businesses direct all of their click-throughs to their home page. Since most businesses’ home pages are designed to serve mutliple audiences (i.e. media relations, investors, current clients, potential prospects, customer services, etc.) they do not provide the level of relevancy and consistency expected from a visitor.
C. Luring Buyer Intentions with Keyword Selection
Keyword selection is important. The keywords you select provide access to “pools” of visitors at different stages in their buying cycle. By selecting the right keywords for your products or services, you can open a completely new market of ready-to-buy visitors.
You see - results from advertising occur through relevancy, connection and consistency. In search whether paid or natural, the visitor (search user) drives the process. By entering a keyword into a search engine, the visitor is telling you what they want to find. From a marketers’ perspective - this is a dream come true! A potential buyer telling you what they “expect” to find on your website and what they are considering for purchase.
So when selecting keywords, make sure you thoroughly canvass your marketplace using strategies such as:
• Your competitors’ websites
• Your website’s copy
• 3rd party tools- (e.g. - Overture’s Keyword Suggestion Tool)
• Website metrics (find “natural search engine” keyword phrases)
• Search engines like AskJeeves (suggest keyword variations)
Most importantly, “THINK” but never “ASSUME” about which keywords your potential customers may use to find your products or services. Never give up searching for new keywords to setup and test. Both seasonal and even weekday keyword performance fluctuations should be analyzed and studied in addition to potential associations people make to find your products and services.
D. Performance-driven Bid Strategies
All paid search engines possess bidding nuances. However, for the two largest, Google Adwords and Yahoo! Search Marketing, do not get locked into the top bid position. Test how each keyword performs against your website’s sales or lead conversion metrics up to the seventh bid position.
Depending on your product or service, you may be amazed how bid position six attracts less click-throughs but produces higher sales or lead conversions on your website. Test, test and test - the outcome may mean lower costs and higher sales conversions for you.
E. Writing Negatively-Qualifying and Appealing Ads
Finally, always test different ads by interchanging words in the title and description. For Google Adwords, try split-testing two different titles and descriptions and add a unique tracking code to each one so you can identify which one causes the best sales conversion increase. In order to split-test at the keyword-level, you must structure your campaign correctly. If you are tracking at the keyword-level then this will be automatic, if not, get some expert help. Notice that I did not state, “the best “click-through rate increase”.
Why?
Because “a lot of nothing” (i.e. a lot of traffic without sales or lead conversion) is not a financially effective strategy. Consider that even a single word change in your ad can create a significant jump in your paid search profitability.
Follow these strategies immediately to send your paid search profits soaring!

The History of Barrister Bookcase - Its Mesmerizing
Any library is characterized by a soaring bookcase. books are safe and free from dirt and junk in a bookcase. A bookcase, also known as a bookshelf, is a furniture piece and has horizontal shelves to support literature. Outside glass doors are a good option to refer and store books neatly.
A barristers job involves referring several super worthy volumes each day.These volumes are dear too and necessary to be kept reachable for a fast consultation. A barrister bookcase is a kind of bookcase especially built for stacking away such tremendous volumes employed by barristers.They are also known as attorneys bookcases and can be produced in oak wood, cherry wood in various finishes and colourings.
How did people store volumes when barrister bookcases did not exist?
individuals did not feel the need for a bookcase as books were a rarity.In those times, books were hand-handwritten.They were placed in minute containers by the loaded individuals. The reason behind this was the books were costly and could be bought by the affluent class only.These containers served as a bookcase for them.
After a while, these hand-penned volumes were seen in many wealthy peoples houses. Due to this, the volumes were placed in closets or on shelves. bookcases sold nowadays have these closets as ancestors, but dont have doors always.
What technique was employed for stacking away books?
The books were arranged in a established way. They used to be stacked upon each other on their sides or kept upright with their edges on the outside and the backs facing the wall. The volumes utilised to be closed with a band created of leather, vellum or lambskin that carried the title of the book. since this band had to be seen, the volumes were placed with edges out.
publishing was one innovation that built books affordable.Another contributed gain of publishing was that the publishing houses printed the title on the back of the record so that the edges were located inwards.
Such cases were created of what materials?
In the past days, barrister bookcases were made of oak chiefly.But if you wished you could order for a bookcase in maple, cherry and pine wood too.Bespoke barrister bookcases can be produced in steel too for trimming wood cost and strength. The Bodleian Library at Oxford University households the earlier bookcases. these bookcases are present here from sixteenth century onward.
Chippendale and Sheraton were the leading bookcase designers who created the most beautiful bookcases. their bookcases gave the room a classy look.
How are the latest bookcases contrasting?
Nowadays you can purchase a mobile barrister bookcase that assists a attorney to change in to a new chamber easily. this portable bookcase is built of several shelf units. all it takes to be a complete barrister bookcase is an additional hood and footstall.The convenience of this bookcase rests in the fact that each shelf can be transported as a different unit with all its contents still within!

Optimizing Adsense For Better Performance and More Money!
Monday April 27th 2009, 12:48 pm
Filed under: Uncategorized
So you want to make money with Google Adsense? I don’t blame you, who doesn’t want residual income! This article will show you how to better optimize Google Adsense to make more money from your web site(s).
Before we get into it, learn more about Google Adsense here:
http://www.google.com/services/adsense_tour/
First and foremost is: Positioning
Where you position your Adsense link boxes and banner ads is extremely important. Trying to make money from the bottom of your pages within your website just won’t cut it. You need to add your Adsense links right in the heart of your template or right in the heart of your content. I would personally suggest both actually.
Adding Adsense in the heart of your template:
Link Units:
Since the introduction of Google Adsense “link units”, we can now add what looks like a “menu system” to compliment our menu system within our website. This is HUGE. Have you ever just clicked on a website and kept clicking on the menu links? I know we all have. By adding a “Google link units” to your menu, you will get more clicks than you thought possible. Try adding the link units near the top for better performance and try creating your link units to match the color of your menu system in place. Once in a while I find myself clicking on a menu link unit without even realizing it which in turn gives more money to the website owner.
Leaderboards & Skyscrapers:
These may very well be your “bread & butter”. I only say this because of the sheer size of these ads units. The best place to add these ad units is obvious; Straight across the very top of your website (leaderboards), and straight down the side of your template (skyscrapers). Anywhere else may not look proper within your template and may look unprofessional.
Square & Rectangle Ad Units:
These are great to compliment the mass amount of content within your website and also within your recommended resources. You want to compliment your content, you don’t want Adsense to BE your content because this will look poor on your part. Adsense is very popular with webmasters; who doesn’t want to make some extra money. However, don’t forget that many of your visitors are also used to seeing Adsense within a website, and need a good reason to click on them.
Square and rectangular units are great to use within articles posted on your website or within your link resources. Try adding your Adsense boxes above your resource links within a page to give your Adsense account that added extra exposure.
Just remember that Google allows up to 3 ad units per page. Using these 3 strategies will help to better optimize Adsense for positioning! Let’s now go onto targeting…
Optimizing Adsense: Taking out non-related ads!
Do you ever wonder how ads like “business card specials” ever get displayed on to your website when your company content is all about baby clothing? Since the introduction of “Adwords Site Targeting”, we now have to keep an eye on the ads being displayed on our website(s). Companies may now specifically target your website for more exposure. There is no restriction whether the website is content related or not, just more marketing exposure for the advertiser.
Filtering Adsense Advertisers:
Within your Adsense manager, you have the option of using the “Competition Filter” which allows us to remove certain websites from the ads being displayed regularly. This is going to be an on-going optimization task in the future. Without filtering the ads being displayed within your website, you might find yourself with ads unrelated to your industry and possibly some ads that have a negative effect within your site.
If you don’t remove all the unwanted ads being displayed on your website, you might end up hurting your Adsense performance online. The more targeted you can get your Google Adsense ads to display on each page, the better your chances at being able to make more money. Try to take a moment every week to study the ads being displayed on your website.
Open up a note pad, or word document and record all the websites you don’t want to be displayed anymore. Add these sites to your “filter list” within your Adsense account.
Remember to add the website (within your filter list) like so: smartads.info - without the www. Adding anything after or before the url will only prevent the company from displaying one of their many ads like so (www.site.com/ads/1.html). This way you stop anything from the entire website from showing up within your Adsense campaign online. The more you optimize your Adsense filter, the better your performance will pick up and the less non-related ads will be displayed on your website.
One constant that holds true with Adsense:
The more pages you have with your Adsense campaign being displayed, the more you WILL make. People who have online networks immediately can profit from Google Adwords because they have the power to add their Adsense boxes & banners onto multiple websites, possibly 1000’s of pages.
Should you add Adsense to your website?
If you own a small company that has a brochure type website that gets maybe 50-100 visitors a day, I recommend NOT adding Adsense to your site. It will never make enough money with that kind of traffic. Remember: Your Adsense campaign needs to make over $100 to get paid out.
If your company receives around 500-1000+ visitors a day, you can now start considering to make money through Google. Adsense is all about numbers. Play the numbers to make more money. In fact, try making goals for yourself to make X amount of dollars through your Adsense account by a certain time. Doing this will only increase your business and make your company more powerful online by increasing the amount of traffic it receives.
For multiple websites, channels are important:
Google allows you to track the performance of multiple websites all in one account which ultimately gives you the ability to track how many visitors you’re getting for each website. It also allows you to work harder on those sites that aren’t up to par.
I consistently look at each individual website channel to work harder at promoting the ones that aren’t performing well. By doing this, we increase the amount of promotion going into the websites that under perform, and in turn eventually increase the business for those websites as well. The more you promote your website, the more the exposure you will ultimately deliver for your Adsense campaign and your company.
Google Search with Adsense:
To top all that off, you can add Google search within your site to give visitors a search function for your content and to allow people to also click on your Adsense program. Please note that for Google search to work, your website and all of its content pages must already be indexed by Google. Adding the Google search bar to your site right away won’t help your visitors at all.

What Are Good Bodybuilding Supplements?
One of my favourite supplementation companies is Gaspari nutrition. You can go to just about any gym and you will find muscle builders utilising Gaspari nutritional supplements. Rich Gaspari the founder of Gaspari nutrition possesses a loyalty to formulating first-class products at reasonable prices.
Contrary to some supplementation companies they do not make a myriad of supplements. At times producers produce so many versions of bodybuilding supplements that it creates a situation where it is difficult to know which product is best or where to even start.
You will find Gaspari nutrition products to be of topnotch and in addition you’ll not be disappointed. Don’t listen to me. Visit your exercise club and begin to inquire some of the bodybuilders would what bodybuilding supplements they are preferring. You will find that at least a couple of them will answer they are utilising Gaspari.
Their Holodrol liquigels are superb. Gaspari Nutrition IntraPro Whey Protein is topnotch. Novedex XT Testosterone Booster is brilliant. In fact, Novadex might just be the best the industry has to offer. It seems to e that few people have anything damaging to say about Novadex. Different people will have different results. Nonetheless, Gaspari nutrition looks to have a well-deserved reputation for superior products.
If you are thinking about trying a different product line and have not tried Gaspari nutrition, do yourself a favor and try this brand. If you have never utilized any supplements before and want to start with a quality brand, then Gaspari nutrition is a great company to start out with.
College Funding for Southpaws
It isn’t simple to get a grant at the moment. School scholarships are unlike a student loan because they are a grant for education, and so, repayment is not required. While searching means to fund a university degree, bear in mind that funds are accessible in unlikely spots, for instance scholarships for left handed students. Lefty Scholarships: It may seem a little unusual to offer a scholarship dependent on a predominant hand, but do consider these facts: Bill Gates is a lefty, so is the president of the US, Barack Obama. Raphael, Da Vinci, Sting not to mention Charlie Chaplin were also southpaws. An estimated eleven percent of the population are southpaws. Frequently considered to be much more artistic and more intelligent, left-handers have frequently suffered from discrimination in the past. Today, lefties are no longer stigmatised or thought of as odd, in fact they may even be associated with the great people named above.
We strongly suggest you hop over to our marvelous website for school grants for African Americans pointers…
There are many funds accessible specifically for left handed people when you search around. A Frederick and Mary F. Beckley Scholarship for a thousand dollars is available at Juniata College stuated in Huntington, PA. Awarded to students of Juniata College and it was established in 1979, this particular grant aids a lot of southpaws through school.
Numerous scholarships do have prerequisites and restrictions. In some cases certain grades can be required or certain financial requirements have to be met. Do go for for as many college scholarships as achievable to give you a greater opportunity of financing a university education incurring a minimal level of debt. Societies, groups related to your hobbies and community organisations can be a source of grants. Left handed grants are just one case; funds are even obtainable if you are the child of a veteran or suffer from a handicap, to provide some examples. Many scholars have to invest a little effort researching grants, nonetheless the reward can be huge. The debt accrued by a university degree can be cut back through such scholarships utilised alongside a student loan. Be extremely thorough in searching each source of funding. The above-mentioned funding is not the only alternative — write a list of every option you can conceive of and make use of your creativity. Apply for every last grant you believe you are suitable for, you may keep any debt minimal, and you will very likely look forward to better prospects on leaving university.
The Elements of Mesothelioma: Rare Cancer
Malignant mesothelioma is a uncommon cancer of the tissues that line the person’s inside organs. Around two thousand new occurrences are diagnosed each year in the whole US. Of this group, aboutthree out of four of cases affect the sac that protects the lungs, named the pleura. This type of cancer is called pleural mesothelioma. In almost ten to 20 percent of cases, malignant mesothelioma could affect the tissue that envelopes abdomen organs, referred to as the peritoneal membrane, causing what is then recognized as peritoneal mesothelioma.
Being exposed to asbestos is positively the largest influencing factor for this uncommon disease. After exposure to asbestos, the delay to progression of the mesothelioma disease might be twenty to forty years. As a result of work introduction, malignant mesothelioma is about 3 times more common in men, than in women. Because the amount of occurrences moves upward with age, there are nearly 10 times more instances in the males over age 64 than in the men in their 30s.
Being diagnosed with Mesothelioma is a weighty sickness, which, at the moment, has a decidedly low rate of lasting survival. Although, if it is pinpointed early, regimens are then obtainable that can significantly extend the patient’s life. Advanced approaches continue to be and are being tested through the use of clinical trials.
Healthy Weight: Do I Want a Portion or a Serving?
It took me a year and a half to lost 25 pounds and my clothing size dropped from a 12 to an eight. Keeping a healthy weight was harder than losing weight. Most of the time I make good food choices, but I can get off track at restaurants, wedding receptions, and other social events.
After doing some research on weight loss I realized it comes down to what’s on my plate. Amy Norton, in her Reuters article, “Cutting Calories, Portion Sizes May Really Work,” says portion size can play a vital role in the number of calories we eat. “If there’s more food on the plate, more goes in the stomach,” she explains.
So I developed a system for making healthy food choices. Before I eat anything I ask myself, “Do I want a portion or a serving?” A portion is the amount of food I choose to eat, such as a large Chicken-Caesar salad. A serving is a measured amount of food - a cup, four ounces, one piece - based on nutritional information.
The answer to my portion or serving question depends on the answers to other questions.
WHICH MEAL IS IT? Breakfast is my start-up fuel for the day and I try to eat healthy. According to “Harvard Men’s Health Watch,” research findings suggest that breakfast eaters are leaner than those who skip breakfast. We have to make wise decisions, Harvard says, and eat high-fiber cereals, low sugar or non-sugar cereals, nonfat milk, whole grain breads, soft margarine, and an occasional egg. I always eat two fruits for breakfast.
AM I REALLY HUNGRY? Humans eat for many reasons: hunger, family pressure (Aunt Edith’s famous dougnuts), social pressure (everyone else is eating), anxiety, boredom, and distraction. “Weight-Loss Help: How to Stop Emotional Eating,” an article on MayoClinic.com, notes that many of us turn to food for comfort. Emotional eating can sabotage weight loss, Mayo continues, so “you need to learn to recognize true hunger.” I have learned to do this.
WHAT ELSE HAVE I HAD? If I’ve already had three balanced meals and healthy snacks I don’t need popcorn and soda pop at the movies. Though I don’t keep a food diary, I keep a list of what I’ve eaten in my head. I don’t snack before bedtime because I don’t need the calories and would have a poor night’s sleep.
IS IT A FAVORITE FOOD? I’m a noodle nut and love pasta in all forms. So I have to be careful when I eat Italian food. Most restaurants serve huge portions of pasta. I estimate the serving size and usually eat a third or less. Ice cream is another one of my favorite foods and eat a particular brand that is fatfree and sugar-free.
WHERE IS THE FOOD ON THE PYRAMID? I follow the Mayo Clinic Healthy Weight Pyramid and plan meals around it. The meals I fix for my husband and I follow the pyramid guidelines pretty well. But I’m not always able to get quality produce in the winter. (I live in Minnesota.) Often I have to go to several stores to get vegetables and fruits, but our health is worth it.
IS THIS A CALORIE DENSE FOOD? The idea that eating too much fat makes you fat is false, according to the American Diabetes Association. Weight gain comes from eating too much food and too many calories. The association says “fat has more than twice as many calories as carbohydrates or protein.” I eat calorie-dense foods, but small servings of them, and have cut my protein intake by two thirds.
After working hard to lose weight I’m not going to blow it by gaining the weight back. The National Institutes of Health, in a publication titled “Embrace Your Health,” recommends smaller amounts of food, ONE serving of high-calorie foods, eating lower fat foods and lower calorie foods. I try to follow these recommendations.
Deciding between a portion and a serving took practice, but I’ve learned to do it in seconds. I’m very aware of how I “spend” my calories. Though I sometimes eat large portions, most of the time I eat normal servings. I walk 10,000 steps a day and have maintained a healthy weight. Asking the question, “Do I want a portion or a serving?” may help you to keep a healthy weight, too.

How to Master Google AdWords - Part 2

Filed under: Uncategorized
4. Write an attractive ad - you have a very limited space
to write your ad so you need to make each word count if you
want your visitors to click through to your web site or
landing page. Start with a clear headline, followed by
benefit, feature then web address.
5. Use strong verbs in your ad - strong verbs link directly
to the five senses–touch, sight, smell, sound, and
taste–and to familiar emotions. They are short and
personal: “run,” “fight,” “love,” “say.”
Weak verbs seem abstract and impersonal. They tend to
be long words: “employ,” “postpone,” “construct.”
Here’s a comparison of weak and strong verbs:
Weak verbs
Inform
Reduce
Indicate
Modify
Endeavor
Desire
Strong Verbs
tell, say
cut
show
change
try
want
Next time you visit the grocery store look at some of the
headlines of popular magazines ie Cosmopolitan Magazine.
They spend millions of dollars researching words which will
attract readers. By using strong verbs in your ads your
visitor will be more inclined to take action.
6. Write ads that have rhythm - ads that have a flow nice
flow to them effect people in a better way than ones that
don’t ie “simple self defense”
7. Set a daily budget - Google will recommend a specific
amount to spend for each click. Don’t go with their
recommendation as they probably have their own self
interest in mind. Start with a smaller daily amount than
what is suggested ie 5 cents per click and keep a eye on
your CTR. Ads shown at the top of the page don’t
necessarily produce the highest CTR. Aim for positions 6-8.
Google will rotate your ads periodically so each one of
them gets equal exposure.
8. Check on your ad regularly - when you first run your ad,
check on it 3-4 times per day until you have got at least
50 clicks.
9. Refine your ads - discard those ads that are not
producing a high click through rate. Continue editing those
ads that work or create new ones within your same ad group
until you find a winner. You can do this by using different
combinations of keywords or trying different headlines.
10. Track your ads - track which ads produce the most
clicks. The adtracker I recommend you use is Adtrackz:
http://www.isitebuild.com/cgi-bin/a/t.cgi?adtracker
This software allows you to create a different URL for each
ad and tracks how many clicks you receive each day from
placing the ad. You can also use the Google tracker that’s
included with your AdWrords account, however it is not as
powerful as Adtrackz and has much less features.
When you have created a winning ad (high CTR) adjust the
landing page of your web site until you convert the
visitors into buyers.
By mastering Google Adwords Ads, you can confidently
expand your marketing campaign to include other PPC
advertising companies ie Overture, FindWhat and also try
offline advertising.
