Google Trends Marketing

If you’re a reader of my blog then you are in for a special treat.

I belong to a membership where a friend created a site dealing with Google Trends, taking the information from Google Trends and putting it in an easily digestable format. Not only that, but the information can be used to capitalize by the popular current trends. Google Trends is one of those google tools that has been laying low as far as internet marketers are concerned but now you can access this information in a very usable form.

The site trendfetch.com is now in beta and you can join…..no optin necessary, and check out the information to see if it’s useful to you. So go to http://www.trendfetch.com/beta-signup and signup for access. I don’t know how long he’ll leave the beta open so don’t waste any time…..this isn’t some stupid IM technique, he just wants some feedback.

By the way, he has a free pdf outlining how to use trendfetch.com and he says a couple of strategies that you can use to start making a few bucks from the information you get from google trends. I grabbed a keyword phrase and through up a blog in less than five minutes….guess its the number of blogs and type of content you use, but I thought it would be interesting to see what type of traffic I can get. Yes, he covers some simple strategies for driving traffic to you new sites also.

He was also asking for some thoughts on how to monetize the site and I posted the below information. Might give you a few ideas if you have a project in the works :)

==========================================

Signed up a short while ago and took a quick look! Read the pdf and was of good value.

Awesome idea, still digesting and thinking of how I could monetize the info you provide. The ideas presented in the pdf are a good start.

One comment on the pdf, you mentioned using wordpress.com and monetizing with adsense. I’m almost positive that wordpress.com does not allow adsense. However, blogger.com would be a good alternative.

Anyway, I did take action and set up a blogger blog. I was so exciting to see the keyword available for the domain I grabbed some public domain content and made my firsts post. Big dummy me……. there’s no adsense for the topic

If I were rolling in dough I wouldn’t mind paying a couple of bucks, however, I think your drop off is going to be high. Just being honest here, I really like what you’ve done and you obviously poured a ton of time into it. And…..I don’t have a lot of dough

Here’s what I would use for a marketing plan.

#1 Work on the pdf and develop it into an intense guide covering muptiple ways to use Google Trends for developing an online income. In other words, give the ebook some meat. I would then give the ebook away….inside the ebook you’d obviously be promoting trendfetch.com …..there are so many crap ebooks out there that a good one will get many signups and go viral. Also, google trends hasn’t received that much promotion….a good authority book or site would do well.

#2 Use your Trendfetch.com site to build a huge IM mailing list. If they unsubscribe they lose access to the site. In other words, turn it into a free membership site. You’d be giving real value. Make it clear upon signing up that they are agree to recieve mulitple email offers from you…..and do it!

I’ve signed up for plenty of free crap and get blasted with mail….I hate it. I bought cheap products and get blasted with offers…..I hate it, and I’m sure everyone else does. Big difference on your part though:

1. you are telling them they are going to get blasted

2. you are offering a service/site of great value

I for one wouldn’t care how many times you emailed me as long as I still could access the site…..in fact, I might even buy something In all seriousness, you’ll be in an excellent position to be an authority figure….newbies will hang on your word….I will to!

I’m just thinking out loud now.

I would consider setting up a forum where you encourage members to share stragegies, successes, BH uses and all that.

Once the forum is up and running you might want to set up a private section….maybe invitation only where members could share the really good stuff without fear of the entire internet finding out. Make them sign a disclaimer, if info is leaked they lose their testicles or related parts

Of course this private forum would be paid, 10. 20 bucks a month….

Sorry…babbling too much, but….

I’m just saying

Basic Google Adsense Information

google-adsense

Are you looking for Adsense information? Google Adsense is an extremely popular program but it can also be confusing when you first start out. This article hopes to clear up some of the confusion.

What is Google Adsense?

It works like this. An advertiser can place an ad on your website or blog (with your consent) through Google. Then, when someone clicks on any of the ads that you are displaying, you get paid a portion of the revenue. Google ads come in various shapes and sizes. They can be in simple text, flashing, animated or picture adverts.

Signing up:

Sigming up for Google Adsense is relatively easy. But a very common mistake that new AdSense users tend to make is that they do not confirm their accounts. If you want to get paid, you need to do this.

Once your website has been accepted by Google Adsense (the application process can take a couple of days to complete), you can create some ads for your site. The easiest way to do this is to walk step by step through the Adsense information contained on the “AdSense Setup” tab. You have several options to choose from and each are explained thoroughly. You can edit every component of the ads including, colors, layouts and even the types of ads you want to display.

Placing your ads on your site is a little more complicated but it only takes one time to really understand what you need to do. Also, certain platforms, like Blogger, Squidoo, HubPages and other web content sites, do this automatically for you based on the keywords that are targeted in your website. Remember to grant third party sites the right to host adverts for you. If you’re placing your ads on your sites manually, you just need to copy and HTML code that Google provides you with and paste it into your website where you want.

How much money you make with Google Adsense depends on many factors. The advertisers have made a bid for each time someone clicks on their ad. If you are featuring a high-bid ad, you will make more money when someone clicks on it. But if you aren’t getting any traffic to your site, you won’t get any clicks. So, keywords are also very important. Make sure that your site is targeting the right keywords and the ads that go along with these keywords. Then, when you do get traffic to your site, those visiting will find relevant content in the ads that are displayed and they will be more likely to click on them.

Google pays you either by check or by EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer) into your bank account. You are paid the month following the month that you made earnings.

Hopefully this basic Google Adsense information will get you started on the right foot.

Now You Too Can Be Adwords Experts

They may not be famous but there are many Adwords experts making a great deal of money from Google pay-per-click. This form of marketing represents the principle source of income for many an internet marketer, whether they are an expert or not. If you are considering internet marketing for your own business or someone else’s, there is some basic information that you need to know.

It’s non uncommon for new online marketers to fail in their first attempt or attempts to profit from pay-per-click advertising. This is basically because they haven’t done enough research, read any books, or taken any courses on how to do this form of advertising in the most effective way. Setting up a successful campaign takes some learning and quite a bit of time in the beginning. But once you have an optimized campaign, you can step away from it for longer periods of time and let it work for you without you constantly checking it.

Adwords experts will tell you that when you are first setting up your campaign, don’t worry too much about all the details. Worry about getting registered and started first. You can then always come back and change anything necessary. Start out with a very small campaign (just a few Adwords at first) until you learn how to do it right. It doesn’t make any sense to go and do many ads if you aren’t sure exactly what you are doing yet.

In order to be successful with Google Adwords and pay-per-click in general, you must make sure that you understand how important keywords are to your campaigns. You should spend the appropriate amount of time on finding and using the right, targeted and relevant keywords to whatever it is you are promoting. Luckily, it’s very easy to find this information and you can use free tools to do your research. But it does take time to do the research and then create your ads around what you have discovered. Generally when you are just starting out and don’t have much of a budget, you should choose uncompetitive keywords. These are the ones that people do type in but not so often and the reason that you are better off using them is because they cost less. Will it take longer to get clicks? Yes. But if you have little money to spend, you do not want to waste it competing for the competitive keywords that cost too much. Start out small and as you begin making money with your uncompetitive keyword campaigns, you can then invest that into more competitive PPC marketing.

Adwords experts will also tell you that it is crucial to track and split test your ads so that you know what is working and what is not. Don’t go by your instincts of feelings. Let the statistics tell you which ads are performing well. You will need to constantly tweak your ads to get the best possible clicks and conversions. Invest some time and money into an instructional guide or course before you let PPC get the best of you.

What Are The Top PPC Sites Today

When most people hear PPC, they think Google Adwords. And for good reason. . .In the US, Google leads the top PPC sites and now controls 74% of all searches in the US. Yahoo holds 11% of the market share and MSN 9% of the pie. The remaining 6% goes to all the other search engines combined. While Google is probably the best place to start with your PPC campaigns, there are reasons to consider some of the other search engines, if not now, then later on. Why start with google?

First of all, it’s extremely easy to get started with Google and the initial one-time fee is minimal. Another benefit of using google is that it’s very easy to track which keywords are converting and which ads are getting the best click-through rates. Also, the sheer amount of traffic you’ll get with google is the main reason you want to start there. If you can’t get the results you want with Google Adwords, you most likely won’t be able to do it with any of the other search engines either.

When should you consider other PPC Sites and which ones should you choose?

Once you make some money with Google AdWords, move your most profitable keywords and best ads over to the other PPC sites. MSN is definitely on the rise and currently matches or betters the search results that Google does today.

MSN is also spending about 20 times more than Google on advertising so it’s likely that it will win more market share from Google over the next year and continue to do so. As with Google Adwords, the initial start-up fee with MSN is minimal, making it easy to get started.

Yahoo! Search Marketing is generally considered to be a little more expensive but offers fantastic tutorials and support and provides detailed reporting tools to help you track your ads’ performances. If you want fast results and you’re willing to pay top dollar for a well-known site with a worldwide reputation, Yahoo! Search Marketing is the place to advertise.

7Search is another up and coming PPC Site with traffic reaching up to 1.5 billion searches a month. The company also claims better Return On Investment than either Google or Yahoo! because of their high quality traffic sources. The initial start-up fee is $25.00.

Why move to other top PPC sites?

The advantages of using Google Adwords are clearly ease and popularity among information seekers all over the world. If you are new to PPC, you’ll definitely have to start advertising with the very low searched keywords on Google Adwords because the competition will be extremely high for those terms that most widely sought online. It’s getting harder and harder to make a low bid on Google Adwords and still come up in the top rankings. Google is also frowned upon often by its advertisers for its changing of rules without much (any) notice. This is what companies who own 75% of the market share have the luxury of doing.

These top PPC Sites should eventually all be included in your marketing plans for the most thorough coverage and results.
