[Authors]The Great Google Adwords Experiment – Join the Next Campaign

CodingJack said
@xstortionist – it’s $75 for some marketing organized by one of the best devs on the marketplaces. And I believe there are authors who participated in the first campaign joining again so obviously they must have been happy with it. Plus no one’s forcing anyone to participate either

There has to be some kind of metrics and data analysis before you dive into PPC advertising. Being a developer and an online marketing specialist is two completely different things. That’d be like hiring a diesel mechanic to fix an electric motor, it just isn’t going to happen.

The proof is in the pudding.

You can be the best qualified marketeer in the world, if they made a profit, they made a profit.

What proof would that be? This?

Clicks: 3,288 Registered: 127 Deposits: 94 Total: $680.70

That is not proof. Those are numbers with no conversion tracking data or analytical data to back those numbers up with. Export a Google Analytics Report, along with an adwords report to show proof.

Where are the other important numbers at? CTR , CPA, CPL (if applicable), VTC , Conversion Percentages, Negative Conversion Percentages, etc… Where is the GEO -Targeted report at? Where is the search term report at? This is very basic stuff that can do nothing but improve the adwords campaigns.

I would be very wary of handing over $75 to someone without these numbers. I assume others are okay with this, but as you can see. Many people have even asked to view the landing pages and they were never presented at all. Wouldn’t it be nice to run multi-versatile testing on the landing pages as well?

When advertising your products, you need to make sure you have your ducks in a row. The whole point of the system is to generate a positive ROI with analytic proof so that you can continue raising the bar.

Your missing the point. We aren’t strangers here and most of us have known each other for a while. My point was that Pixelentity is a well established team who’s simply offering a chance for other authors to team up with them on something.

@xstortionist – Honestly, i think you got this too seriously. The aim of the first adwords project was not make money with adwords but to achieve some promotion for our files in a long term for a more than reasonable price. After 2 years of being in this marketplace i’ve learnt that one of the most difficult things around this business is the promotion of our products. If we can reach a system that somehow pays itself and brings traffic (even just a few) for our files, it will be welcome.

Besides, if you would knew the kind of guys who are behind this project (not only from a professional point of view, but also personal, which is most important) i’m sure you were going to try to get in the project without any doubt or questions.

I feel you guys. I just don’t want to see people pissing money away without having a bullet proof plan set in place. I am more than willing to help you guys out with your PPC advertising needs. Just as I helped out a ton of people in this community with their Facebook advertising, I am willing to do the same with PPC medium. No setup fee or anything, just God’s honest professional input, from a professional with a proven track record.

When there is money advertising dollars involved, you should always make sure you have all of your bases covered. Just like in Baseball, if you are not watching the pitchers, you could get picked off.

@xstortionist

60 out of 75$ will go directly to google, 15 are for general expenses related to the project so i don’t get where such aggressive attitude is coming from since it is obvious to anybody we’re not making any direct,personal profit from the project.

I personally invested countless hours in developing the backend, setting the campaign, integrate it with GA, building scripts to track conversion and estimate sales and you know what ? i did it for free the first time, i’ll do it for free again.

This is a community project: you trust us, you join – you don’t, nobody forces you. Frankly, we have better ways to invest our time than trying to sell shit to other fellow authors.

When you have over 70+ sales in the month of March for Facebook, you will soon find out you don’t have time to make scheduled Facebook posts on the regular. Plus we are investing a ton of time with our new online biker community which has soaked up Facebook advertising. And if you seen our last post was today wishing everyone a happy holiday, instant 16 likes btw.

For one, there is no aggressive attitude. Do you see anywhere I am typing in “ALL CAPS ?”

All I’m asking for is data. Is that so much to ask for? Like what’s the landing pages? What’s the Click-Thru-Rates? What keywords are you bidding on? What types of experiments are you running? Other people have asked about the landing pages as well.

Hit me up, I’m not selling anything, I just want to help you guys out with the PPC campaigns and I know I will be able to increase visibility and provide suggestions to help the cause. I do not want to get in on the action, just help you guys with the campaigns.
