PPC Whiz

I got all excited when I read some ppc blog posts showing new search volume numbers that had been released in Google’s Keyword tool. I hurried to my bookmark bar, opened up Adwords, clicked on the Google Keyword tool and…. wait for it… nothing. Booo. I was dissapointed like a kid who wanted a toy bb gun for Christmas and got a one piece pink bunny pj suit complete with fuzzy feet (2 points for those who got the Christmas movie reference there).

BUT

Today, I loged into my internet marketing campaigns and say a message in my MCC saying that the tool was available and the keyword data was there!

“You can now see statistics on the approximate number of search queries
matching your keywords. This data allows you to better plan your budget
and pick keywords most likely to return quality leads, which in turn
can help improve your ROI. Learn more|Dismiss this message“

WHOOO HOOOO

Here’s an interesting question… what happens to tools like Wordze.com, Keyword Discovery and others?

Was it just a freak coincidence that I got this email today from Wordze with a special $4 promotion?

“I hope everyone is enjoying July. As I had talked
about to some of you, I have something really special for July that is going to
help you nock the socks off of your affiliate earnings.

Until July 14^th you can send your readers to the
Url below, and they will be able to get access to Wordze for ALL of July for
only $4.

Other than that… Enjoy the rest of the month, and best of
luck!

I’ve made some dumb mistakes in my day. Most of my mistakes seem to involve a spelling mistake of some sort. I haven’t (thank goodness) done this…yet.

I should call TorontoTourism.com and offer them a quick campaign optimization. I expect this add might be pulling their CTR down a little

Wow… it has been a long time. Where have I been? Well, I was in Seattle where I finally got to meet up with James Zolman from semvironment (check out his new site design if you haven’t already). His first comments were: “Nice to finally meet you Adam, why aren’t you blogging anymore?”

So, there you have it. I have taken his advice and am back at it. I just downloaded ScribeFire, a nice little Firefox plugin that allows me to blog from within Firefox. I am taking it out for a little test drive, so far so good.
