<b>Basic Structure of an effective PPC (Yahoo, MSN, Google) Ad</b>

This is a very simple structure to follow. If you do not deviate very far from it I think you will find yourself having a lot more luck with your ads.

Headline ------>Absolutly MUST get their attention (Think of your headline as the ad for your ad)

Line 1------->Must generate interest (benefits, whats in it for me)
Line 2 ------->Decision (why should I go to www.buymyshit.com )

Display URL ---->Take some action www.buymyshit.com, or org if ya want :)

Btw...don't use a god damn dot org URL ever ever ever never never never unless your a damn dot org! If the dot com name is not available KEEP YOUR THINKING CAP ON AND FIND A DOT COM. You aint gonna get sales. In fact I have stupidly tested this with my own money. The exact same URL but one being a dot com name and the other being a dot org...NOTHING ELSE IS CHANGED, the dot com outpulls the dot org by a HUGE margin.

PS. B4 you get your panties all up in a bunch Sparky, NO I DID NOT INVENT THIS FORMULA. In fact it actually has a name, AIDA, and it has been used in the direct marketing (junk mail) industry forever. It's by far the best format to use for your ad campaigns.

PPS. I got a deal for you sparky, if your interested. I'll help you for two weeks with your business. Say half an hour to an hour a day. I figure if I can teach a half wit like you to make money it'll show that I can help anyway. Whatcha say?

PPSS. AIDA stands for Attention, Interest, Decision, Action. Again, follow this sequence and money will follow you to the bank. If your ads follow AIDA I can almost gaurantee you are going to outpull the other ads on the page. Most people are stupid with their ads.

If you ask the average guy with a google ad "why will someone click on your ad?" he will say well coz he wants to learn about XX....lemme tell you something. No one searches wanting to buy your shit. I have never ever entered a google searching wanting to buy, or not very often. When someone does a search the last thing on their mind is your site, www.buymyshit.com, they might be interested in www.freeshit.com , but definatly not buymyshit.com. YOU GOTTA GRAB THEIR EYEBALLS to get them to TAKE ACTION.

PPPSS. I obviously own every single site on the web with the word shit in it! DOH!!!! SPARKY.

BTW, it aint easy to fit AIDA into 25 charators and 35 charators. But, I'm confident that if you put your thinking cap on you can do it.

Also, the best place to get ideas for headlines, I swear to god im not kidding, is supermarket tabloids. I buy them all the time to read the headlines because they are exactly the kind of crap that makes your ads pull like crazy.
 
Last free tip on adwords. You only have a few lines to work with. You should try to make your landing page name a call to action in and of itself if you can. So lets say your selling something that will make people live seven years longer. Well if you can get sevenextrayears or something like that and have it fit in the URL box your going to be golden. The more action taking you can inspire, or the more intest you can inspire, the better you shall be. You should not probably in most cases put your brand name as the display. Again make it a URL. Lets use another example and say that you are in the make money from home..well maybe you can get www.ifiredmyboss.com

I think you get the point.

Brandon
PS. Have I mentioned the content network before?
PPS. I do not own ANY of the URL's mentioned above and will not benefit from anything you do with them. Furthermore since I dont own them I really dont give a darn as to how the owner MIGHT or might not benefit from me mentioning his or her URL on ET.


The fact of the matter is he might actually suffer because google now punishes you for having backlinks from sites that have nothing to do with what you do. So..take that sparky!
 
<b>Protect Your Credit With Your Life</b>

Because of my ChexSystems "victims" business I often have the opportunity to come into direct people who have put themselves in a position that companies to prey upon then, and they have little choice other then to work with those companies.

Protecting your good credit is an important part of your life and of keeping your household costs down. Everything from Credit Card Internet Payments, your mortgage to your Insurance premiums are effected by your credit score. The lower your credit, the higher your costs. If your credit score get's too bad your costs go through the roof, probably at the time you can least afford for them to do so.

If protecting your good credit is important in your life, it's at least as important with your online business. You see if you have a "real" offline business not taking credit cards is not going to be a deal killer. It's going to make things more difficult to be sure, but it is not something that will bacically put the likelyhood of you not being able to remain in business at 100%. The thing is, online, nearly every single transaction is done by CC. Because levels of fraud are so high banks are very cautious about who they give online merchant accounts too, and if there is the slightest problem with your credit, your either not getting one, or your paying out the nose for it.

When I say paying out the nose I mean really getting nailed. I've heard of credit card processors charging up to 7.5% to process a transaction and then holding up to 1/3 of the billed amount in reserve for up to six months. I'm sure you can imagine the cash flow crunch it would cause your business if you are aking your sales and right off the bat have to pay 7 1/2% to make the sale and then you do not even see 1/3 of the money for 6 months. Thirty Three percent is a respectable profit margin, so they might very well be withhold everything that goes into your pocket as well as the monehy that could be used to expand.

There are a couple of options like PayPal and Clickbank available, but both have severe limitations.

The next area of credit I want to talk about is your Google Credit score. You see google gives you traffic on credit. They send you the traffic now and then bill you for it later. Google does keep track of how often your credit card payments come back as "denied". You have to keep in mind that even though Google is a huge company at the core it is no different then any other business in that if it does not get paid for the services it provides it can not stay in business (funny that the rest of the valley kid crowd still seems to not be picking up on that...but Google has learned that lesson to be sure). The big thing here to keep in mind is to just carefully budget your google spending. I actually have one Credit Card that the only thing that comes out of it is my PPC campaigns from Google, Youtube, Ask, MSN and Yahoo.

PS. If anyone has comments, questions or suggestions please give them to me. I'm making this information available for free on ET in exchange for FEEDBACK.
 
Brandon - Thanks for sharing all this info. Very interesting.

Overspool - Thanks for sharing your results so far & best of luck with your venture !!
 
I'll add a thank you also! I've been telling our schools athletic board, that I am a part of, that I think I can set up so the website I have for them could produce at least a bit of income to put into athletics. I've been saying it for a year now, and just haven't gotten to taking the time to learn how, but I have begun reading through and watching your ideas and I think I'm getting a handle on it and how to get started. I will need to filter what I put up as it is for a Catholic school. I have a feeling I'd be banished and flogged if I put up some of the stuff, like penis enlargement. LOL :D

He used the same tactic as the one he used against TraderZones. But TZ did not appear to know the field deep enough, and did not let the scammer enough time to selfshoot.

Of course Brandonf is gaming the ET system and pretending to be altruistic. All his name dropping of other web sites, using splashy self-directed subjects are classic spamming techniques and FREE rep & traffic building. I know much about web marketing and promotion. But the people running EliteTrader are too stupid to figure it out. After trying through Complain and posts a couple dozen times, it was obvious that Brandon neither has integrity nor concern about bending the Terms of Service to his advantage, and EliteTrader as a business allows people who bend the rules.

So spammers, come here! ET is open for free advertising and self-promotion, as long as you are a little clever.

Waste your time, trying to become a web mogul with Brandon's "valuable methods" You will discover after a lot of time and some money that it is a fool's errand. But in the meantime, Brandon will build his rep (and thus, web presence) making you think that his "helping you: is really his attempt to avoid paying a proper sponsorship fee

That is why they let idiots like B&B Analytics and Tim Sykes (who trashed this as a reputable place for a month+ sponsorship each) and Jack Hershey drone on and on and on and on and on. A few bucks is worth more than having a reputation as a reliable & professional trading forum

Number 1, try and treat others with respect, rather than trying to figure out how to lift their wallet.

Number 2, when you are trying to seem altruistic, don't become a cliche for "Building Your Online Rep Via Loud Self-Aggrandizing Titles" 101 and "How to Sneak In Other Websites and Business Interests While Pretending to Teach Others" 201 and "Traffic Building the Sneaky Way" 301. You are one of the most obvious web marketing monkeys I have ever seen. I have read the ezines, web marketing, analytics and other garbage till it came out my ears. You are as convincing as an umbrella salesman during a Category 5 Cyclone.

Number 3, when you blow your own horn, stop sounding like an entire brass ensemble. Your main interest is building the Brandon brand. You don't come across as a teacher as much as you come across as someone desparate to build an online reputation without properly compensating the site owners.

That about covers it for now.
