Keyword Forecast: adCenter Labs

A heads up on a cool keyword tool. You have to check this out.

Clickbank is strange that way. Everyone else would have called it an API. But it seems now that you can have sales notifications sent to a url specified by you. It uses a POST function.

Here is how it works:

1. An action occurs in the ClickBank system (ex sale, rebill, refund, etc)
2. ClickBank posts FORM parameters to a URL you specify
3. ClickBank observes the server response
4. A program you build processes the variables

This works right into my idea for a tag based contextual Clickbank widget. It would have to adjust itself based on sales and click through rate. Instant sales notifications would make that possible.

Clickbank Case Study Part 1

When I started promoting this product, I really had no idea what World of Warcraft is. And to tell you the truth, I have never even played or been to the site. I picked up a few things from the sales page for the product. Jargon. Everything has it’s jargon and you have to learn a little of it.

A great article on using PPC and using long lists of long tail keywords.

Official: Google To Enforce AdWords URL Policy Starts April 1st

I hate Google. Why? Because I have been following this policy since it went into effect. I watched as other affiliates skated around it. Now they want to start enforcing it. Google:"Okay guys, we made this rule, but it wasn’t really a rule. You can break it if you want. Just don’t tell anybody. We will make it a real rule later."

A policy is not a policy unless it’s enforced, assholes.
