Drive Hordes Of Targeted Traffic In Minutes!

I’ve got to say, my brief foray into Google Adwords has been a complete failure.  I don’t have the bankroll to compete with the big boys and I just don’t have the time to try and figure out the proper long tails I’m supposed to hit.  Maybe later when I don’t need the money??  WAH.  I think my new “guru” would list me under the “DUMBEff” catagory.  Blogger Unleashed has some serious tips that I’m just beginning to try.  The one thing I wasn’t doing was getting enough anchored links to whatever it was I was trying to schlep to the masses.

His Number One Tool for this purpose is BOOKMARKING DEMON. I highly suggest rubbing a few pennies and getting this thing.  It’s an eventuality that you will start to rank in the search engines.  The catch is, you don’t know when.  As Victor sometimes SCREAMS at us in his videos, “There is NO magic bullet.”  So, you’ll have to dedicate a Windows box to getting links day and night.  If you do this right, you will get a ton of links, PR0, PR4, do-follow, no-follow… whatever.

You just have to be careful and not overdo it, otherwise Google may get smart with you.  Then again, you never know and you can just chance it like you do on the freeway!  The site has more details.

So, buy BMD, and TAG TAG TAG the EFF out of your sites and posts.  Maybe we’ll see some sweet Google juice come our way!

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been following the advice of every crackpot “Hey-I’m-Not-A-Guru” Guru in the Make Money Online Blogosphere for a while now. Most of them espouse the keeping track of your blog traffic through analyzing clicks and visits and what not. I have statistics from a FireStats plugin on most of my blogs. I also have built-in stats from my web host, LUNARPAGES.

The thing is: I can’t believe a single number from any of them because they are all telling me different things! MyBlogLog tells me I get 2 MyBlogLog users per day. FireStats says 20 per day. BlogRush says I have upwards of 3000 impressions. Ebay Partner Network says the same thing for the last 3 weeks 13 clicks for one of my campaigns, no sales while Google Adwords says I’m getting 2-5 clicks every day for that site. Adsense is telling me I’m getting 78 impressions today for all my “channels.”

It’s a damn shell game people! It all ads up to me not getting any cash in my pockets. I’m dipping my feet into the AdWords PPC game now and I just don’t understand how they can blatantly disregard my daily budget day after day! They have some kind of thing called “over-delivery” where they will exceed my budget by 20% as a favor to me to drive more traffic. Yeah right. Their 20% turned out to be about 2000% a few days ago.

I guess, like everything else on the Web, a basic truth still exists. It held true in 1994 when I started building websites with html and FrontPage and it holds true today: Don’t believe everything you read! Keep an eye on your stats but don’t be a slave to them like me. The only true stat that you can probably bet on is your bank account balance. Mine’s a bit sad now. Maybe it’ll make me happy in a few days when Pay day and Mista BOOSH’s rebates start flowing in.

So watch out, the numbers lie. This blog won’t. I wouldn’t steer you wrong. Now, your driveway looks a little worn out. You need me to resurface it? I can give you a fair price. How ’bout you just GIMMIEAQUARTAH!!!

I find that most of the TSA employees are extremely good at making me feel like the plane is going to blow up. Now I know why!
