2 easy steps to steal your adwords competitions campaign
and Slash your Adwords Costs
While doing some niche market research This afternoon, It dawned on my that I hadnt checked or thought I hadnt an adwords campaign i’m running, I have a bad habit of setting it and forgetting (don’t do that by the way) I got smoked once before doing this So I thought I’d better check then refer back to my copy affiliate project X
And it suddenly dawned on me that I was doing it wrong well not all wrong but doing it the hard way
Then as fortune would have it, I love the way the universe gives me what I want when I need it
I got an email with a few *instant* ways to SLASH your Adwords costs.
Following these techniques, and with a little effort, you can easily slash a big chunk off your Adwords costs.
The first method you may already know - with an additional tweak that you almost certainly don’t.
Here’s the bit you might already know: I call it “Copy The Best”, (pg 36 of Affiliate PjtX) and essentially what we do is swipe the adwords copy from the top Adwords ads, and then use it in our own.
Which ties in quite nicely with Pages 25 and 43 Of day Job Killer
Rob the top advertisers for a particular keyword They have done all the work, testing their ads to get the best copy. So it makes sense to jump the learning curve and Steal the top ads for a keyword as a starting point for creating your own.
Seriously!!, if all the top advertisers have the same headline, it probably pulls in the clicks, right?
Of course that makes sense.
Now for our little “tweak” (thanks to a fellow member for pointing this out)….
When you search a keyword, try entering a random combination of letters and numbers after the keyword. Then copy *those* guys…
For example, instead of searching “dog training”, search for “dog training 4738 jkjkfjf” .
Instead of searching “ClickBank”, search “ClickBank 8784f”.
For clickbank I Followed this technique, and using a tip from Day Job Killer
Why the random numbers? Well, Google isn’t sure what you’re looking for when you do that, so it only shows the ads with the highest quality score (read: Click-Through-Rate).
Very often you will use this trick and see that the top advertisers are all doing *something* that the others aren’t (they are using
numbers in their headline, they use a particular buzz word etc).
Try it right now with a load of keywords and see what I mean.
Very often you can see that the very top ads have something in common. And it’s that thing that will allow you to generate
staggering CTR right out the gate.
Second way to slash your costs: MSN’s alternative to Adwords, MSN AdCenter. It’s often cheaper than Google’s effort, and the clicks
are just as targeted.
And now you have no excuse not to try it out and see…
Claim your FREE voucher for $50 worth of clicks here ==> Mid phase web hosting
(this is a special offer my host has secured; you will also see a Yahoo voucher there, and I suggest you try that one too).
In The guide, Affiliate Project X, He Recommends AdCenter as one of the most “underrated sources of traffic for affiliates”.
He was right about that !!In some cases, I have managed to pay less than a third what I pay for a click on Adwords.
And the conversion rates are generally the same or even higher (MSN users are a little less clued-up and appear to be more succeptible
to a good sales letter)
And with $50 in FREE clicks, its stupid not to at least give AdCenter a try.

Start using the “Copy the Best” Method with the tweak, and grab your MSN $50 voucher while it’s here.
I strongly recommend that you check this one out
















I dont get it! The random letters or numbers sounded good but when I try it - nothing! I have searched a few terms with the randoms after them and I get ‘no matches found’. How should I be using this? Should this go into my keyword list for a campaign under a broad match ex. –keyword 5g8nw4 ? It sounded like a great idea until I tried doing it. Help
Hey thanks for question about this, perhaps I wasn’t totally clear on this and maybe i’m reading your question wrong. But i’ll try to clear it up for you. Go to Google and type in ClickBank 8784f, yes you’re going to get results not found because there isnt a page title with that gobble dee gook in it. What you want to look at is the adwords ads on the right hand side. Google isn’t sure what you’re looking for when you do that, so it only shows the ads with the highest quality score (read: Click-Through-Rate).(you’re wanting to find high quality ads you can copy, decipher and examine so you can duplicate what thyre doing. Thansk again for the question !!!
