Beating Adwords For Free?

Kyle and Carson, the authors of Beating Adwords hinted today that they might be giving away their info packed and valuable Adwords marketing guide.

If you're having trouble with PPC or afraid of what might happen when the next Google Slap comes around then this will be a great opportunity for you if you haven't already downloaded Beating Adwords.

Of course, there is a catch. On Thursday, Kyle and Carson wants to invite you to Wealthy Affiliate, one of the best places to be if you want to be up on your internet marketing game. Kyle and Carson's specialty is PPC marketing and who better to take advice from than these two.

Like I said it was hinted in an email...here's an excerpt:

If you are like most marketers, Adwords has given you a lot of grief. Google is constantly changing their algorithm to adversely affect weak campaigns and to improve the quality of their search results.

This is good for us, bad for you. Why is this? Because we know the exact techniques it takes to manipulate Google Adwords and earn a "GREAT" quality score with each and every one of our campaigns.

Yes, this is true. We have never been bothered by any of the so called Google SLAPS. In fact, every time Google makes a major shift, we benefit from it because so many weak competitors drop off the face of the earth.


So how do we do it?

Wouldn't you like to know...well, we do have some documentation on how to become "invincible" to Google and how to become a top tier Google Adwords marketer! Would you like access to this?

Tell you what, on Thursday we are going to make a big announcement. This announcement is going to be a time sensitive offer and is going to blow the mind of anyone that takes advantage of it. Let's just say we are going to be giving one of the biggest & baddest bonuses EVER.....

They didn't explicitly say that they were giving away Beating Adwords for free but they've given away another of their marketing guides, Inside the List in well recieved promotions like these before, so most likely this is what's going to happen.

Beating Adwords and Wealthy Affiliate is a great combination and it will most definitely benefit you in a major way if you take advantage of this offer.

If you would like to see what Kyle and Carson announces on Thursday, you can sign up for the free niche guide above and I'll send you a notification when its ready.

Google's Url Policy Changes.

As of April the first, Google will be strictly enforcing the new display url policy.

Before where you could get away with using a close matching url as your display url you will not be able to do this since Google wants to maintain its level of quality for the end user's experience.

As explained on the Adwords blog, any display url must match the destination url with no exceptions.

This means that if your destination url is conqueradwords.blogspot.com, it will not be acceptable to put Conqueradwords.com, as your display url because that is another site.

If you use a tracking url or affiliate link, don't worry, the destination url of the landing page is what you will use as the display url and not the tracking link or affiliate link.

This new policy takes effect on April 1st and the Adwords team advises that changes should be made if you will be affected, ahead of time to ensure that your ads keep running without any disruption.

Ad Infiltration & Placement Targeting

A while back I told you about Ad Infiltration. Now Steve released Ad Infiltration twice before (once at Wealthy Affiliate and the second time as a WSO) and both times they sold out in under an hour.

Now Steve is re-releasing Ad Infiltration on Tuesday so if you've been wanting to do some placement targeting campaigns then you definitely should pick this up.

It would make no sense to do placement targeting without knowing what you're doing..that can cause some serious financial damage...either that or less than stellar results money wise.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about when I say placement targeting it isn't anything new. Its advertising on the content network by choosing the sites that you want to advertise on. This means that you are in control of where your traffic is coming from.

What Ad Infiltration will show you is:

  • How to set up placement targetting campaigns
  • How you can automate the process
  • How to get super high click thru rates
  • How you can get less than 1 cent clicks
  • What not to do
  • More cool stuff...

Ad Infiltration is launching again on Tuesday at 12pm EST so make sure you do get a copy.

Do You Click On The Ads?

So you're an affiliate and you want to research your competition...see what they're doing. Do you click on the ads?

I hope you said no. If you said, "duh, how else am I supposed to see what my competition is doing" then read this post in its entirety.

By now you know that clicking on the ads charge some good affiliate out there for that click. If you're an affiliate yourself and use adwords its kinda unfair because you wouldn't like someone clicking on your ads now would you? Especially if they're not going to complete the desired action.

So how do you actually see the landing page without charging your fellow affiliates?

Here's how:

1. right click on the ad you want to view.
2. Select properties
3. Copy the url and paste it into the browser.

At this point you should have something looking like this:

google.com/pagead/iclk?sa=l&ai=BDqCsGsxtR4byojee&num=4&adurl=http://www.beatingadwords.com

Note the part on the end with the destination url.

4. Delete everthing else in your browser leaving the destination url (bolded in the above example)
5. Click enter and you see what your competition is doing...without charging them for the click.

Another way to do this is to use research tools like Wealthy Affiliate's Research Top Listings tool. The tool shows the top listings and their destination urls so you can look at their landing pages without charging the affiliate or advertiser for the click.

So the next time you're doing some research...be considerate to your fellow advertisers...competition or not.

Steve Goltiao's Ad Infiltration

I recently got a copy of an ebook by Wealthy Affiliate member Steve Goltiao called Ad Infiltration.


The ebook reveals how Steve was able to get some rather low cpcs of under 1 cent! No, really...I read the book. He also reveals how he managed CTRs of up to 64.70%!

Yeah its pretty amazing and not many people are doing PPC like this. Steve is stealing (legally) from his competitors and they are allowing him...jeez, do I sound like a liar, already?

The ebook is pretty eye opening and although the method has been around for a while now, there's not much material written about it and is pretty much unexplored. Steve's Ad Infiltration is a really good read and anyone who gets their hand on this is going to make a lot of money in highly competitive niches.

The limited release of 100 copies sold out in just under an hour but Steve's gonna be launching pretty soon as a WSO on the Warrior Forum. You can get on the notification list by going to Ad Infiltration.
