    Are Longtail KWs Viable?

    I'm running a campaign and using a broad 2 word kw (it's standard match on Yahoo tho) and it isn't doing all that bad. However, when I try to expand my kw list, I work to develop longtails but they don't convert at all. I thought longtails would convert better? Here is essentially what I am...

    Ad Copy A/B Split Testing Question

    Alright - I have a campaign running and have been working on building it up to hopefully make me some cash. I've been running anywhere from 2-6 ads per ad group so I can see more quickly which ad copy does better generally speaking (positive, negative, question, etc). Now, I check performance...

    Testing AdCopy - The More The Better?

    I just threw together a campaign running some short tails and doing some testing, and I am running multiple ad copy for the words. However, I'm not sure which would be better to do.

    Email Collection

    I have a website that gets decent traffic, but I haven't found an easy way to collect emails and have them stored. Are there any easy/free (hopefully) ways to do this that I just have not found? Unfortunately I am a coding noob so would not be able to write my own script for it.

    DirectLink or LP to Test?

    After you find a niche and do some KW research, do you build an LP or direct link to test how well the offer goes? I'm wondering about building up QS and getting some decent results and data from direct linking with Yahoo, but not sure if it would be better to develop a full blow LP/site...

    Highest You Bid When Starting

    When you are testing a campaign what is the highest you will bid in PPC? A niche I'm working in right now is $3+ for position 9? WTF! Do you typically have to spend this much to gather data? Seems like I'm going to get KILLED unless I get some insane CR. Thanks

    Effective Keyword Research

    What is the most effective way to go about researching keywords? I've read various ways to research KWs, but no matter what I try it just doesn't seem to be effective. The only method I haven't tried in depth was this: Monday check "Keyword A" and look at the top 10 advertisements/LPs...

    Is Google Analytics King?

    I plan on creating a number of different content sites with the eventual idea of gaining organic as well as PPC traffic. I have read in a few posts here about sharing hosting and Analytics accounts between websites might be looked negatively upon by Google. My point: What is the best tracking...

    Keyword Tracking

    Hello all -- I'm having a lot of trouble implementing a keyword tracking system that can capture the keyword from Yahoo, maintain the word through landing page, and pass it on through a redirect file to my affiliate network so I can see exactly what words are converting. I have looked at all...
