Hi everyone.
A few days ago I thought Google unslapped me: many words on my campaign became active and acquired impressions and clicks (well, a single click). Sadly, when I woke up in the morning, the words were there, but the nice bids weren't. Google still wants $10. Well, they can ask for $10 as long as they want, I don't pay that amount.
On the brighter side, I finally begin to see the results of my SEO. A couple of days ago I had a sale from a completely stupid YouTube video which apparently caught someone's attention. I hope this video continues to do a great job.
On the much brighter side, when I look up my EzineArticles name I see many results, some of them not on EzineArticles. My seven articles are published across the net with my links in them. More backlinks, hopefully more traffic.
And for the viral part, I now offer a free ebook for anyone who visits my landing page. More than that, I offer it as a part of my product's affiliate tools. The ebook in the affiliate tools is rebrandable, meaning you can plug your own affiliate name and spread it around.
Until my birthday (two days to go),

The 29th
Hi everyone!
Today, as you know, is the 29th day of February. This special day occurs only once every four years, and it's a real waste not to write any post on that day and wait until 2012.
Tomorrow the month of March finally begins. This means two things: one, my birthday is very close. Two: my product is going to go online.
Yes, it's finally happening. My product is going online and everybody celebrates. Just some finishing touches and I will start to see the publisher side of ClickBank (which turned out to be somewhat good, so I unpaused my campaigns).
Also, my first article ever on EzineArticles has been published! I was so concerned about PPC problems and ClickBank so I turned organic and wrote this article. It's related to my video, but it also has a good, live link in it. SEO, here I come!
Finally, February 2008 will be remembered as my first month with profit. Yes, you read well. PROFIT!
Not much, but still something.
To a better March,
nadavs

Going Global
Hi everybody.
So far February makes me smile: I'm in the black. Maybe not deep in the black, but not red. All I need this is to continute, preferably with the product I'm promoting now.
After profiting very nicely in one niche, I decided to leave. Not because of the profits, but because of the competition. It just became too intense. I can't handle too much foolish competition without Google's monthly maintenance. There are just too many one dollar domains that do nothing but redirection, a prohibited act on AdWords. I hope Google catches those fools soon and puts them in the $5/click jail.
The niche I'm promoting now is another topic I'm interested in (hint: goal zero). Since usually my campaign for this niche gives ten clicks per day, I decided to go global: on the country list I picked "All Countries and Territories", so if you look for my campaign in Antarctica, you'll probably find it. You can't find it on only one country, guess which one it is (hint: starts with Isra and ends with el).
And finally, I've made some big progress towards my own eBook: I created an account that allows me to build forms! Yes, that's not a big deal, but with my procrastinating attitude this is something big. The next steps are: creating a form, creating a page for this form, creating a campaign for this form, receiving feedback, actually writing the eBook, writing a sales page, putting it on ClickBank. One step at a time to financial freedom.
Until the first sale for the new niche (or before),

Foolish Competition
Hello everybody.
January didn't come off with a profit, but with a little $2 loss that can be called break-even. February, on the other hand, looks very promising. As long as the foolish competition is gone.
The foolish competition are the new advertisers that now joined my niche, and appearantly they use almost every keywords I'm using. This of course creates an annoying situation which causes my CPC to rise. From past experience this situation doesn't last too long and the new advertiser goes home unhappy. But if he stays and my CPC stays like this, I'm going to start an inverse bid-war (nice technique to get rid of annoying advertisers). If that fails, I'm going to start promoting other niches. Preferably the one that will help me achieve goal number zero.
And finally, after rejecting the idea of a viral eBook for now, I'm starting to plan a paid eBook. When I break even on the business (around April) I'll start doing surveys for my eBook ideas and see what works. The winner idea will get its very own eBook.
Until next time,
nadavs
