One of the most important things for Google is page content. If your affiliate page has well written, good keywords density and it’s directly related to the keywords you advertised, you are sure to get good quality score on that page.

Excellent questions and answers. Clicked on the link to Adriana’s blog and subscribed. What a valuable resource; looking forward to reading her online communications.

Haven’t yet purchasd Perry Marshall’s “Definitive Guide …”, but certainly will. Started reading his “Ultimate Guide to Google Adwords” available through Amazon and other retailes – and am most impressed. In addition, he’s created an online supplement to this book which inludes and abundance of worthwhile educational information. When done studying this book, will definitively write a very positive review on Amazon’s. He has earned my confidence and I higly recommed his material.

adwords and ppc are something I haven’t really got into for the simple reason that there’s too many resources telling you one thing and another, before you know it, your out of pocket. I’d like to see soe concrete adords/ppc structure with less risk, especially for the beginner. I know it’s alot to ask but it’s an avenue where failure can be very very costly.

Quick note to let everyone know I have answers for your tracking questions. I interviewed my AdWords mentor and have a series of posts just about tracking. Here is the first one: http://www.myonlinebusinessjourney.com/85/google-adwords-tracking-interview-with-matt-levenhagen/

I tried MSN AdCenter without any results.

I did the same thing. Then I spent $47 on Perry’s original Adwords guide. From that point forward I always recommended it – because you’ll easily blow that much or more trying to figure it out on your own!

I’ve never studied or reviewed the PPC Classroom, so I can’t speak on that. I have studied Perry Marshall’s guide, and am anxious to dig in to the latest edition – definitely good stuff, and very easy to read & implement.

I tried several options a few years ago when I was also using Google Adwords, and nothing came close to the results I got with Adwords. What about you, Adriana?

Great tips. My first round on google adwords I learned some hard lessons and lost a couple hundred dollars in a few hours. Slowly working my way back to them. I’m having some ok results right now with yahoo as I learn more about PPC.

There is tracking of impressions ans clicks, which is given to you by AdWords, and there is tracking to the keyword level which you set up yourself when you start your campaign.

Stats on AdWords are delayed up to 3 hours, but nevertheless, if one of your campaigns gets really active really fast, you’ll get a “feeling for it” by watching your campaigns in the beginning.

Tracking at the keyword level helps you know which keywords/key phrases are making you money, and which ones are wasting your money.

I’d like to hear some commments about the relaunch of the ppc classroom. I started with the class last year, but I was a complete newbie and had no idea what I was doing. I decided to quit and learn more before investing more energy on that. I know a lot more this time, but my experience with PPC has left a sour taste in my mouth. I’ve had mixed results. Comments?

Good interview.

Beside Google AdWords, would you consider using or have you used another PPC company that may bring in better conversion at a lower cost?

I have tried AdWords in the past, but have not had too much success in conversion.

Lynn and Adriana,

Very interesting interview. In the last several paragraphs you both mention tracking your campaign closely. From the context, it sounds like you mean it’s almost in real time. Does Google Adwords really show you campaign information with such immediacy (and frequency of updates)?

Thanks guys (umm, gals),
Bill

Monitoring is definitely key for PPC!

I once ran a campaign that was doing nicely and then suddenly nothing. Upon checking the merchant’s page, I discovered they’d materially changed the offer in a way that made it virtually unsellable!

I also used Perry Marshall’s book right from the very start from setting up my GA account and every step thereafter. In a medium that can run up costs quickly if you’re not careful, it’s a lifesaver!!
