25/02/10 - Barclaycard YouTube AdSense Ad

Whilst researching the name of a tune featured in an advert, I stumbled across a site displaying Google AdSense. Nothing bizarre there but what was different was the way in which the ad was displayed. It featured a screenshot of the current Barclaycard rollercoaster advert along with links off to their YouTube page. More

15/08/08 - My First Successful PPC Campaign!

In an attempt to a) relieve boredom, b) increase revenue and c) boost search engine interest, I decided to look at PPC again. The last time I tried my hand at it, I failed somewhat dismally more or less because I didn't know what I know now. Experience certainly wasn't on my side!

I've launched a classy blog type site recently which switched between result 1 and 11 for the site name search. I pitched the idea to some manufacturers and the outcome was that if I wasn't on page 1, how could I help them?

I set up an AdWords campaign 3 days ago to at least get an ad on page 1 and here's the story since. More

I've just been browsing a few forums and stumbled across and advert for Get Landing Pages.

09/05/07 - What Are Savastore PPC Affiliates Thinking?

I was just looking through my archives and remembered I made a post on how Savastore went into administration.

Well there's some PPC activity that is good and some that is just bizarre given the company folded on 7th February 2007 and today is 9th May 2007. More

18/04/07 - More PPC Misery!

29/03/07 - My Problems With PPC - Can You Help?

29/03/07 - Why Did I Go Wrong?

Instead of being over-cautious as I was last time, I was now over-eager. More

08/02/07 - PPC Profit!

I made...

...£5! It took £10 worth of ads to make me £15 in commission (£5 profit).

I have avoided promoting sat nav systems and went for something a little more popular with a mass market. I had 2,000 advert views in 2 hours so I found a good market. More

25/01/07 - PPC Perked Up a Bit

I have now had 18 impressions and a whole entire click!

I am not sure why I'm happy about that as it didn't result in a sale.

But at least the system works! More

24/01/07 - Massively Depressing PPC Campaign!

I started my campaign last night and have had a whopping 3 ad views.
