     1. Boost your Adwords Quality with Keywords in the Ad
     Using you keyword in the ad itself does two things. First, it compels the consumer to click you ad because their search term is in the ad. Second, Adwords will give you a higher quality score because it will recognize the keyword in the ad. Use the keyword in the headline or description, the display url and if possible in the destination url

     2. Use Ad Groups with only one Keyword
     If your ad group contains on one keyword and you use exact or phrase match, you’ll know what the consumers search term is. This allows you to put the search term / keyword in the ad as recommended. Using this method is better than Dynamic Keyword Insertion (DKI) since DKI doesn’t boost your quality score. Adwords doesn’t recognize DKI as having the keyword in the ad.

     3. Boost your Adwords Quality with Keywords in the Landing Page
     Adwords determines your quality score based on your landing page as well. Demonstrate that your landing page is relevant by using the keyword in your landing page. Name the landing page after the keywords. Put the keywords in the title, meta tags, h1 tags and throughout the content.

     4. Use contact us, privacy policy and site map pages on your website
     Adwords wants to see that your website is more than a single page. In addition, Adwords wants your website to be transparent. It wants to see links to your contact page and privacy page.

     5. Set your Maximum CPC high for the first three weeks
     Your click through rate (CTR) is a major factor in the quality score when you begin to accumulate impressions. Bid high initially so that your CTR is high. After a few weeks, you should be able to lower your CPC and maintain the ad position and CTR for less. Read the rest of this entry »

     The sale is being handled by the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, a brothel in Carson City, Nevada. So far there have been more than 10,000 bids on this priceless commodity. Although some religious groups are outraged and complaining loudly to the authorities, there isn’t anything the local police can do, and not even federal authorities such as the FBI or the U.S. attorney can do anything about it. That’s because Natalie is marketing her virginity in Nevada. And prostitution is legal in Nevada.

     Critics say that they are concerned that the influence of auctions such as these may reach beyond Nevada’s borders and have an effect on other states. Some hope that because the sale is advertised on the Internet and bids are being taken online, that federal law may be able to prevent the auction from coming to a climax, so to speak.

     But a spokesman for the Las Vegas field office of the FBI said that only local authorities would have any jurisdiction because prostitution is legal in Nevada, Dylan is over the age of 18, and the end result would be consensual. Some illegal online auctions are monitored by the Postal Inspection Service, but a spokesman for the Postal Service said there currently is no federal prohibition against auctions such as Dylan’s. The U.S. attorney’s office in Nevada has prosecuted more than 200 online solicitation cases in the past five years, but those cases involved minors.

     Legal experts claim that the sale can’t be thwarted because of Dylan’s First Amendment’s rights. Although a prosecutor may want to disagree, there is no law against advertising illegal services anywhere, if they are legal where they are being performed. Commercial free speech is protected by the government. Read the rest of this entry »

     The differences between a good product launch and a terrible one are many. It is not enough to just have a product and a decent sales page. What separates the million dollar launches is the sales network they have painstakingly created.

     This sales network is the key to any successful product launch. The ones that have made all the contacts and have everything set in place strike at once, and almost overnight news of their products spreads across the internet. Emails are sent out, advertisements are posted, and press releases are published, all this buzz results in massive sales and some marketers have seriously made over one million dollars in one day.

     What you need to process is that this is not a simple task and that one day payoff takes a lot of planning and networking to pull off. Here are some simple tips that you can keep in mind when planning your product launch.

     First off many entrepreneurs tend to nitpick about the details of their actual product. Now while obviously having a quality product is crucial for long term success you need to worry about the launch more than the product. You can have the best product in the world, ten times better than your competitors but if nobody is promoting it and if no one knows about it then it is nothing more than a waste of time and effort.

     Next you need to create a step by step launch plan and stick with it. This will include timing, contacts, incentives, pricing, and more. All these issues need to be dealt with prelaunch and you need to have assurance that everything is ready to go the day of. Read the rest of this entry »
