Well now that I have an AdWords and AdSense account again, I thought I’d do some testing. Let me fill you in on what I did, which led me to making this test.
A night of no sleep, and no sleep in the morning. I was taking around half a gram of caffeine every 5-6 hours and I was alert, focused. I started reading through blogs, forums etc and started getting some ideas. After around 5 hours of solid reading and it’s 8AM GMT I decided to have a shower, get more caffeine and some food.
Did a bit of keyword research quickly, and threw together a quick site in dreamweaver. I’m not going to show you the site, or tell you the keywords for obvious reasons. I found the niche I was going to use, and quickly gathered the content.
To get my content, I didn’t write it myself, nor did I outsource it. No way, that would only waste time as well as waste money. I’m not trying to rank for the terms in orangic searches, so I don’t mind if google don’t rank me for duplicate content. Catchin’ on now? Good! So I found the story using Google news (always provides hot topics), quickly did some searches to make sure there was no paid listings. Then went to a news article, and copied and pasted the whole thing! Even got some images.
So here are my results for day one – showing AdWords vs AdSense:
As you can see, I lost $4.60 in day one, plus domain fees of $8.20 (from Alloy Hosting). So day one gave me a total loss of $12.80. However, I was not a big enough fool to poor more funding into this campaign. I could see that my AdSense keywords weren’t paying enough, and my CTR on AdSense wasn’t high enough and couldn’t keep up with a well made AdWords campaign!
I quickly opened dreamweaver, and go on my way to making a landing page for an Email submit campaign. Once the final one was done, I rewrote my campaign ads and updated the page on the hosting. I also made another tweak to the campaign it’s self. I put the daily limit from $5 to $15 as I could see the campaign was delivering well, but I didn’t want to risky too much. I used Market Leverage for the email submit using their UK Offers catogery which was giving me $1.55 an email!
I will keep you updated on how day two goes (today) and just a heads up, I’m already in profits within the wee hours of the morning!
Did Google reinstate your AdWords and AdSense accounts? Or did you “acquire” new ones using other methods ;o)
If your Adwords account was re-instated, then what was the true reason for the suspension?
Cheers,
They actually still refuse to tell me why.
I’m using a business adwords account for my new business. They accepted me on Adwords and AdSense no problems.
Only costs £30 to register a business in the UK, so it’s not bad.
