    "Flipping" offer to another network

    Tips for Partnering w/ Premium Domain Owner

    Came across a premium domain in my market which I could probably not afford, and the site is owned by somebody who has had a site "in development" since '98. Was thinking about approaching this person with an offer to help them monetize the site for a cut. Type-in traffic alone would produce...

    How to Track Keywords AND ad performance?

    I now track on the keyword level since I have that pretty much automated, but how can I also track conversions by ads at the same time?

    Targeting Entire Niche or Just the Big Fish?
