... you HAVE to be careful when starting a new campaign!

I had a bright idea for a site this morning, and got right to work on it...

A Wii site, if you can believe... Running AuctionAds...

Well, while creating my 1200+ keyword list (all nicely targeted BUY-stage words) I made a SLIGHT little error and let one slip by unenhanced...

Wii

At least I only had a $20 limit on that campaign, and watched it sorta close (as close as you can)... What a MORON I am...

Like the name of the movie, "Gone in 60 seconds" or more like 30 mins...

Well, that's one less present I will be giving this holiday season, unless one of those clicks actually BIDS and WINS on something...

Enter comments of ridicule or "i've been there too" below...
 


I launched a campaign last night where the buy now button went to google rather than the offer. Good thing I didnt see any traffic for that shit... don't PPC when you're sleepy!
 
I have a friend who owns an e commerce store about running supplements. He couldn't understand why his traffic was converting so badly. After taking a look, I immediately saw the problem. One of the keywords was:

LUBE

That'll be $325 for the hour.

I remember when i setup an adwords campaign right before vacation to mexico. I got on one of the computers at the hotel (before wireless was everywhere) and checked my bank account. I noticed about 30k missing and seen adwords was charging me $5k 3x a day lol. With hardly any sales at all.

Cheap lesson indeed


I charged it back though, lol
 
I left a keyword bid blank in adcenter yesterday, and ended up paying $2 CPC...stupid as hell! as barman said "don't ppc when you're sleepy"!
