Google Are So Helpful!

Posted: 28 Oct 2008 09:35 AM CDT

A couple of weeks ago I had an email from a guy at Google Adwords saying that the Adwords campaign for my Keyword Elite page had been paused as there was a problem with my web page. The email was really impersonal and simply referred me to their terms of service. Well I just could not see what was wrong with the page, it hadn't been changed for months, yet now it was a problem! So I replied to the email and asked for guidance? None was forthcoming. :evil:

So I made a couple of changes to the page and the Adwords Ad itself and resubmitted it. Within a couple of days I had a new email stating that my page was still invalid and if I tried running the campaign again my Adwords account would be terminated and that should I open a new account I would be in trouble! Charming! :evil:

I replied again begging for more guidance to which I got a reply … it stated that my page didn't comply with their terms and conditions … how frustrating! :evil:

The sooner someone comes along and destroys their dominance the better … would it actually harm them to offer a more precise reason for the non conformance … they obviously know what is wrong so why not share it with me! :roll:

Now what has really bugged me is that they have dropped my page out of their rankings! It was hovering just off page 1 of the serps. But since the Adwords problem it has disappeared without a trace!

So last night I bought a new domain, www.keywordelitemasterplan.com and published a new sales page … I've set a new Adwords campaign going so we'll see if they like it or not … if anyone can spot what they don't like on my original page, Keyword Elite, please let me know … maybe I'm been stupid, but I can't see what they don't like! :?:

If you haven't got a copy of Keyword Elite yet, you really should check out my new page to see just what you're missing! :cool:

Article Marketer Review

Posted: 20 Oct 2008 04:24 PM CDT

Not posted for a while due to family commitments, but I wanted to write this post in reply to a comment on my last post …

In my last post, I mentioned that one of the services I use is Article Marketer.

One of my readers, Neil, left a comment saying that the service he’d received from them was less than great should we say, and that he’d read bad reviews. All I can say is that so far I’ve had no problems, all my articles have been distributed in a timely manner and I’ve had no technical problems … I do use the paid service though and not the free one.

I’ve taken some sample screenshots of the kind of backlinks you can expect from an article … take a look at these … they’re all articles I’ve written and distributed using this service …

In this screenshot you can see Yahoo has over 1400 results for the title of my article … if you go and search yourself you’ll see my name as the author!

article marketer.com review

This screenshots shows over 1600 results …

And this third image shows over 900 results …

So basically, in my experience the service does what it says on the tin … it automates the distribution of articles to hundreds, if not thousands of directories and ezines … with minimal effort on your part … obviously others have had problems, but personally I only have positives to report …

Take a look for yourself … Article Marketer.

PS … Neil … I hope the service is working well for you now too …

Kingspoint Project Case Study - Going Solo!

Posted: 09 Oct 2008 05:40 PM CDT

Where has this week gone???????????

Ok, as I reported in my last post Keith Baxter has pulled the Atomic Project and I’m waiting to see the replacement … which he promises will bring better results … as I said in my last post, I still recommend you take a look at his site, the Kingspoint Project, it’s full of some top info that you don’t see elsewhere… even as a free member the info on offer is excellent!

So stay tuned and I’ll report back next week on progress … subscribe above so that you don’t miss the updates :cool:

So I’ve decided to use some of the tools I’ve discovered (some from Keith’s site) to see if I can move my ranking for the keyword he targetted. As of the start of the week my site was ranked 194th in Google for the term small business incorporation.

So this week I have submitted one article using the services of Article Marketer, and one article using the article leverage service of Submit Your Article. (the article leverage service allows you to distribute a separate version of your article to each directory and ezine, it’s pretty cool).

I’ve also outsourced the writing of 25 blog posts, that will each appear on separate blogs giving me 25 keyword targeted one way links back to my site. I’ve also started bookmarking my site with a social bookmarking service I subscribe to.

Tomorrow I will issue a press release and make a couple of blog posts on a couple of other decent page rank blogs that I have access to … and then we’ll see what happens over the next couple of weeks as the articles and blog posts go live …

Next week I may add some additional content / pages to the Incorporation site based on some keyword research using Keyword Elite, to attract some more traffic to the site.

Kingspoint Atomic Package Latest! (New Case Study)

Posted: 06 Oct 2008 03:40 PM CDT

Well I’ve had a note from Keith Baxter to say the Atomic package has been pulled!

Apparently it hasn’t achieved the results they expected it to, so it has been shelved and will be replaced any day by a new improved package … I just hope that previous Atomic customers will get a FREE trial of the new product! :???:

According to Keith only the Nuclear package has delivered the kind of results they’d hoped for, so that package will remain on sale …

I still recommend you join the Kingspoint Project, even as just a free member, the content of the site is good and pretty unique …

As a result of being a member, I’ve discovered a load of new tools and methods I knew nothing about before … so its not been all bad … and the Atomic package did increase my traffic a bit to at least cover the costs of the package …

So what now?

Well like I say, I hope I’ll get a free trial of the new package … BUT also I want to see if I can use what I’ve learnt, and some of the new tools, to actually increase the traffic my business incorporation site gets and see if I can get it ranking well for the term “Small Business Incorporation”, the term that the Atomic Package targeted without much success … see the screenshot below …

small business incorporation ranking

As of today, the site ranks at a lowly 194 for ’small business incorporation’ … so lets see over the next few weeks what I can do to improve on that!! :cool:

Next, here is where my traffic for the site is at, remember at the start of the Case Study, I averaged 20 - 25 visitors per day …

incorporation visitors

As you can see it now averages 35 - 40 daily visitors, so again lets see what improvements I can make …

So keep tuned for the next 2 - 3 weeks … I’ll keep you posted! :cool: Plus as soon as I have details of his new product I’ll let you know!
