my informal google adwords experiment

[quattro]

$20 gets just over 400 clicks for "myspace"

I'll pass.

[NYCBORN]

Try longtail keywords instead.

[layoutsmachine]

what were the conversion rates like?

[Sean]

Like nycborn said, use longtail keywords. I do and today I spent $12.06 and got 1,206 clicks :)

What are longtail keywords?

And wow, that's a great conversion rate.

[Cyberkiller]

longtail keywords would be something like,

sexy jessica simpson myspace layouts

instead of just myspace layouts

[quattro]

It was completely an accident, I was setting up some other campaigns, and thought I 'd see what rates were like for myspace terms. I accidently left the campaign running, lol :)

I forgot the best part ... 243k impressions

[NYCBORN]

I've had something like 7,000,000 impressions on some of my smaller campaigns. It's crazy how powerful advertising on Google is.

So you're saying you paid $0.01 per click on average?? So what percent of that does goes google pay to an adsense publisher and what percent do they keep for themselves?

[minnseoelite]

long tail keywords can lead to some good traffic if you target the right ones. say you target "spicy jessica alba myspace layouts" for you site. if done correctly not only will you rank for that long tail keyword but also for variations of the word "jessica alba myspace layouts, spicy myspace layouts, jessica alba layouts, ect"

That's right, and i'm pretty sure there are a few other members here that are getting 1 cent clicks also. I guess they pay the full $0.01 to the publisher :whistling:

I believe you have to get your quality score up for keywords. I could be wrong here though.

I don't believe in giving money to Google Adwords unless for some of my affiliate sites.
I would rather take it from them with adsense.;)

[Ad disengaged]
