No Excuses 3 - Official Thread

ok so I got accepted to A4D, and i'm anxiously awaiting my next step. once again, thank you mike for the help
 


Hey Mike, I was going to ask this at last nights webex chat but was too late home from work :( So...

Any good tools for organizing keywords and formatting them in the right way to upload via adwords editor or MSN tool? Basically I've exported out all my top performing keywords from prosper202 and have a spreadsheet, now I want to format ad groups and ads and get it uploaded again.

SpeedPPC sounds like it'll do all that but I don't fancy spending $500
 
PPC tools

RE:vtekck - I use Adwords Accelerator, which is great for generating massive quantities of ads based around individual keywords, which will give you some very high CTRs. The tool also has some competitor tools, which lets you check out who else is bidding on your keywords and see what ads they have. And they have keyword generating tools built in for finding search volumes on lateral and related terms. It costs me $37.00 a month, which is pretty good. Some months I don't really use it, and as far as I know you can only format stuff for Adwords, but it's really good for that. Check it out, if you're running campaigns on Google.
 
Hey Mike, I got a question for you. How do you go about "expanding" you keyword list after you figure out which ones are working? Do you just try to think of some keywords that are similar, or fit the trends of the keywords that are working?

Haven't got to this point yet, but I figured I should ask early.
 
Cheers, that tool does actually look pretty cool but it's I'd prefer free :)

Actually mighta be a good tool to try and teach myself php/ajax and things that I've never got round to doing. A nice web based keyowrd manipulation tool would be cool.

If you're going to roll your own, leave out the ajax (javascript) and just focus on scraping with php + mysql. There are tons of places to scrape from meta tags found on ranking sites (scrape) > google suggest (scrape) > yahoo synonyms (api). Places like ebay (api), shopping.com (scrape) & even overstock (xls dump) have pretty good interfaces for finding keywords if you're looking for product based keywords.

PM if you need any pointers, I've made more than a few tools.
 
Mike I have set up a php redirect file on my hosting account and I am getting an error. Can you please take a look at it.
Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/usernamexxxxxx/public_html/redirectfile.php:8) in /home/usernamexxxx/public_html/redirectfile.php on line 8
 
Is there anyone trying to push something with SEO? Any hints when going that route with A4D offers?
 
On one page:

Code: 
<a href="php-redirect.php">Link</a>

PHP-Redirect.php page:
Code: 
<?php
header( 'Location: http://Your-Link-Goes-Here.tld' ) ;
?>

That's it. :)

Take a look at the keywords that are "working" whether that means converting, getting clicks, or whatever other metric you want to use and build more using those as "seeds".

Free Keyword Suggestion Tool From Wordtracker is a fantastic tool and it's free!
 
Make sure there's nothing before the <? ... even a space will cause the header issue you are receiving.

Make sure there is nothing inbetween the <? and header("...") ; ... a single echo statement will cause the header issue you are receiving

ya. i plan to go the seo path initially. Then when / if i see conversions from my blog / lander / content page, it will give me confidence to perhaps try PPC.

The learning curve for both paths is steep in my case. I can afford mistakes in the SEO path, the risk cost being a loss of time. With PPC, the risk costs is cash. So, as noted, I will use SEO and if see conversion results, then test PPC.

Traffic and ranking methods: mass article spinning and directory submissions; linkwheels using web 2.0 properties interlinking to money pages.

I'm still in the planning stages. Will probably use a review style blog platform. not a flog, though, but rather product review / report supported by article content.

let the games begin.... :)

BTW, SEO_mike is da man. buzzed him the other day with some stupid n00b Qs and he was kind enough to give me his opinions. much appreciated.

Im pretty sure i have exactly that
<? header('location: http://affiliate.a4dtracker.com/rd/r.php?sid=1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' . $_COOKIE['t202proSubid']); ?>

Maybe there's no such cookie set.
Try this:
Code: 
<? header('location: [URL="http://www.wickedfire.com/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Faffiliate.a4dtracker.com%2Frd%2Fr.php%3Fsid%3D1xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"]http://affiliate.a4dtracker.com/rd/r...xxxxxxxxxxxxxx[/URL]' . @$_COOKIE['t202proSubid']); exit; ?>
(notice the @ before the dollar symbol)
