Interesting Testing Results

I had a nice surprise yesterday. I checked my stats on shareasale.com and noticed that I had a sale. But not just any sale, since I often have sales promoting their merchants.

The surprise part was that I had a sale for a merchant that I was planning on testing. I was working on a landing page and was going to promote using AdWords. But I didn't start advertising yet.

So the page was found with a natural search. After checking the page stats it doesn't get much traffic.

I may have found another winner. Now I will have to use the tools over at Wealthy Affiliate to figure out the best keywords to use on AdWords.

I could just load a campaign with 100's of keywords, but I found that using the tools at Wealthy Affiliate save me time and money. Now I only need to have 15-25 keyword phrases in my AdWords campaigns.

Have a good weekend.

How Often Do You Test

I am constantly in a state of "Test Mode".

Even when I have a system in place that works well. I still test and tweak to see if that system can be improved.

What do you test?

Everything I can keep track of. I also listen to all the big names in internet marketing. Often they will provide some good stuff that I can use in my own tests.

This Saturday I will let my email subscribers in on the results of a Test I ran last night. It was from something I picked up from the 30 Day Challenge, but was too lazy to try at the time. By lazy, I mean real lazy. It only took me 10 minutes to set-up this test.

Subscribe to my email list with the form in the upper right to get all to good stuff that I don't post here on my Blog. Its free and for the most part I only send 1 email a week.

Best of Success!

Google AdWords Loophole

This is something you won't see anywhere else on the internet. Or at least for the next 30 seconds when someone else copies it.

I tested this idea for almost 3 weeks. It worked for me. That doesn't mean it will work for you. Test it for yourself.

You know how there are some words you are not allowed to use in your AdWords text. Like "Best".

Well you can use those words in your domain name.

So I use Wealthy Affiliate to find a profitable affiliate product to promote. Then buy a domain name that is "best" for that product.

For example Merchant Accounts. I would buy a domain name BestMerchantAccounts.com and use that as the link in my AdWords ad.

My test produced a nice CTR and I will continue to use this method in the future. As for the product I am promoting on my "Best" site, sorry can't tell you. That is why I made up an example instead of the niche I am marketing.

p.s. Stay away from promoting Merchant Accounts. I used that as an example. The Merchant Account niche is dominated by providers, not affiliates.
