Cool, I've been looking to getting into PPC and this sounds like a great platform
to go for it. I'm in!
to go for it. I'm in!
I'd like to get back into doing AM again (dropped out due to focus on my main business) - so I'm in if I qualify

It's really quite magnificent, some have likened it to the nectar of gods. The best part is that satisfaction is guaranteed (both yours and mine).
I'm open to whatever here. I do think a guide to choosing niches (both seo & ppc) would be a great place for newbies to start. There are a few problems with this ....
_______________
PPC keyword that convert depend heavily on ad copy & a pre-selling landing page. Some people can't get any sales off of "review" or "scam" type of words .... others bank.
I've got an algorithm that I wrote for campaign sniper that takes several factors into consideration before creating a KEI~ish value for your PPC needs. I've been meaning to do a write up on it so when I get it up, I'll post it.
This is a totally flawed system though. It relies on raw data to do calculations that's best handled by the human brain. A user's intent when searching, along with themed ad copy & landers, are probably the most important factors in finding profitable keywords.

An seo tool is different, it's my opinion that you can crunch the data down to find some low hanging fruit. However, I won't be sharing my complete system here because that's where I make my money.
To point you in the right direction: In my opinion, some of the most important factors that you can look at are domain links, direct page links, intitle competition for the SERPs. As you can tell, without an automated process this can take some serious time.
The truth of the matter is that to really find the easy niches to rape, you have to do this on a very large scale and be willing to compete in ANY niche.
seo_mike: camtasia is awesome .. you'll have fun with it. You are welcome to make a tut but I've already got one showing how to use the system efficiently. Check that PM I sent you and we can get the ball rolling here.
I love Camtasia. There are a few things that I haven't figured out, like how to have two audio tracks at different volumes. You know, the narration track at normal and a music bed. Oh well, don't really need it, I just want it.
UPDATE: I spoke to the affiliate company that will be throwing the contest portion of this project, and they are down with it. Prizes and levels have yet to be determined, so let me ask you, what would you like to see for prizes? Basically there are two options: 1. Cool - but impractical - swag like a plasma TV OR 2. Stuff that could be used to grow your business - like dedicated hosting for a year or free domains
Let me know what you think about prizes.
Also, this is cool, I'm trying to talk the affiliate company into doing something that hasn't been done before. At least in mainstream, adult aff companies have done it for years. It's looking good, but as with everything creases need to be ironed and details hammered out. If it goes through, it will be VERY good for those on a tight budget.
Last: fuck the SEO tutorial, figure it out on your own.
Seriously though, I don't think it would be the best benefit for the most people. Sooooo....instead I'm going to do a tutorial on launching a PPC campaign from ground zero to actually running it. The tutorial will have a real campaign with a fixed budget. I'm not going to create a completely fake campaign for "widgets" or something. I'll go through the process of research, signing up for an affiliate network, choosing an offer, creating a landing page, signing up with an ad network, writing the copy, testing, etc..... Hopefully, it will even make some money. We'll see though.
Realistically, with all that needs to be done, NE3 is still probably 2 - 4 weeks away. I know, I know, stop your groaning, but I want this to really help people and not be a repeat of NE2. In the meantime, feel free to hit me up on AIM if you need help with something (other than sex or money, and sex is negotiable if you're female and really hot).
Get back to work, you're not making any money reading forums.

Camtasia's layers suck. You can't have more than one thing happening at a time.
The only workaround that I've found is to save your project as an avi file (audio and video). Open another project and then load up your avi. You can then import your background music (or moaning sounds) and turn the volume down on just the audio layer.
When you export it the 2nd time you'll have 2 "layers" of audio in the same video.
Glad I finally registered tonight - Would be interested to participate. I started I.M. the end of 08' and haven't done much with it as I have been busy with my offline business. Will utilize the competition to kick my ass in gear.
Things I have:
Fitness related domain name (wordpress installed with a few posts and review of a CB product)
Acceptance to over 12 CPA networks.
Aweber account
$50 Adwords coupon
Desire and dedication.

That last one will be your biggest asset. Just try and keep that when things get tough, and they WILL get tough no doubt about it. :food-smiley-010: I'm going to get more coffee and get back to work on the PPC tutorial.
