A change to our display URL policy

Beginning the week of February 24, we'll implement a change to our AdWords policy regarding multiple display URL domains per ad group. Please read on to determine whether your AdWords account will be affected by this change.
In an effort to provide more relevant results and a high quality experience for our users, we've made the decision to disallow multiple display URL domains within a single ad group. Going forward, all display URLs within an ad group must have the same top-level domain. Please note that this amendment to our policy applies to all advertisers, regardless of previous exceptions or acceptability of any ad groups.
For example, an ad group containing the following group of display URLs would comply with this policy because all URLs contain the same top-level domain, “example.com”:
www.example.com
www.widgets.example.com
www.example.com/widgets/redwidgets/
www.example.com/index.html
On the other hand, and ad group containing the following group of display URLs would not comply with our policy because their top-level domains don’t match:
www.example.com
www.example.widgets.com
As a result of this update to our display URL policy, we encourage you to make any necessary adjustments to your ads in advance of the change. This will ensure that they'll run without disruption as a result of future disapprovals related to this policy. Also, remember that your ad's display URL must match its destination URL (the URL of your landing page). All other requirements regarding our existing display URL policy and its enforcement will remain the same.
While we understand there are legitimate use-cases for multiple display URL domains within one ad group, we ask that you use separate ad groups for each domain. This will not only provide a better user experience for your potential customers, but will also allow you to better organize and track the various domains within your AdWords account.

Facebook Traffic

I haven't come out with an official issue of Cool Cash
Ezine and figured now would be a good time.

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=5T4fe&m=1gj_rKhtJmzRpL&b=5ITNLhSzAvYhfs_EatXljg

But before I tell you how I have jumped into trying to
monetize traffic on Facebook, I first want to tell you
about some free software that can help you get targeted
traffic.

My good friend Neil Shearing is giving away his
"Internet Success Spider" software for free.

This software automatically goes out and scours the
Internet for super affiliates in your niche and shows
you how to contact them. If you can get one of these
power affiliates to promote your product, it could
bring a windfall of profits.

You can download this $80 software for free by going
to:

Take care,

Gauher Chaudhry

Let's meet in person before the launch....

Thanks for being on the Pay Per Click
Formula 2.0 prelaunch list.

After all these months, thank you for your
patience.

The prelaunch for Pay Per Click Formula 2.0
will start next week with a *killer* CPA
report that I will be giving away for free.

But this is not the reason for this email.

I am writing to tell you about the live
seminar I am conducting on March 21 and 22nd
for Pay Per Click Formula 2.0.

I have only 100 seats available and already half
are sold out after 72 hours.

I wanted to let you know in case you were
interested in attending.

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=5T4fe&m=1azmTW863mzRpL&b=o.iI1BbqoN1ZW35tRtN6HA

You will have to pay a higher price if you are not
a current PPCF customer, but you will get Pay Per
Click Formula 2.0 for free when it is released.

I will be revealing killer strategies at the
seminar including one that helped me make $25,000
extra in CPA commissions (in January 2009) for one
CPA campaign on *free* traffic.

I will also automatically give you access to the
digital version of Pay Per Click Formula 1.0 so
that you will be up to speed by the time the seminar
rolls around.

There are already going to be some major affiliates
attending who do five to six figures a month in CPA
commissions.

If you can just spend 30 minutes talking with
one of these super affiliates, you could learn
a lot.

So hurry and reserve your spot as I think the
remaining seats will sell out shortly.

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=5T4fe&m=1azmTW863mzRpL&b=o.iI1BbqoN1ZW35tRtN6HA

Feel free to contact me if you have any
questions.

Best wishes,

Google is cracking down on multiple industries they have deemed "Illegitimate." This guy isn't the only one BTW…

Below is a comment I got on the blog today. It's from Scott Phares, who is being told that Google considers the industry he's in to be illegitimate. He's not the first, believe me. Nor will he be the last.

He's in MLM. Those of you who know me know I'm no big fan of MLM. But that is totally irrelevant to the subject at hand. I have seen the same thing in totally unrelated industries, things that have nothing to do with affiliate marketing or business opportunities.

Where Google makes a sweeping judgment and sweeps a bunch of advertisers away. Businesses are suddenly DOA.

"Yep, you are right. Google definitely tightened the screws … already. I found out the hard way yesterday. All my PPC ads were disapproved or their Quality Score went so low they won’t ever display. I called an 800 number I have for Google and spoke with one of their adwords reps.

Google no longer considers network marketing, affiliate marketing and MLM businesses as “valid” businesses. As a result, they have disallowed all ads forwarding to affiliate links/sites, bridge pages that then forward to an affiliate site, and any site that contains or mirrors all or portions of a parent company site. Even my ads for my own personal biz site landing page and home business web sites went down.

They did not disapprove them, but they immediately lowered my Quality Score (from GREAT to POOR) so low that the ads never display. The adwords rep. also told me that to get my Quality Score back up, Google would have me increase my bid so high that it would kill my ROI completely. To all - be prepared, you may not see this happen until you edit an existing ad or create a new ad, then Goggle will review all your campaigns, that’s when all your MLM, home business and affiliate ads will drop.

I moved all mine to Yahoo last night until we all can come up with a solution to this. This is going to shut down every ad anyone has running on Google as an affiliate where you have registered a domain and have it forwarded to your affiliate links/sites. I am looking forward to your call on Monday at noon CST, hopefully you will have some suggestions as to a solution."

I recognize that there are some areas that generate lots of complaints, and Google is trying to provide a quality user experience. However this is NOT a trend any advertiser should be feeling good about. First it's anyone Google thinks is an affiliate… then it's an MLM guy… then it's someone who sells a hair growth formula… then it's YOU.

If you're saying to yourself, "Well I'm in a legitimate business, this could never happen to me," think again. By whose definition of legitimate?

Sleep with one eye open.

And don't go down without a fight.

And don't let Google be your only means of getting new customers.

And somebody please, tell Yahoo and MSN to get their friggin' act together. A mutual fund company that USED TO OWN $500 million of Yahoo stock couldn't get them to wake up, 3 years ago. But… maybe somebody else can.

If Google's the only game in town, then Google is Big Brother.

PPCF 2.0 Seminars

PPCF 2.0 Early Bird

For the people who are in the early-bird for PPCF 2.0
(now sold out), I have updated the 2.0 area with a
major strategy that is one of the foundations for PPCF
2.0.

This one strategy helped me generate $25,000+ in
affiliate commissions this past January on a ZERO
increase in ad spend.

It will also explain to you why I *rarely* ever direct
link anymore and why YOU shouldn't if you want to
maximize the return on your cost-per-click (CPC).

I want you guys testing on this right away because I
want to hear the *guaranteed* success stories coming
from this one strategy alone.

There will also be new videos posted this weekend that
will really open your eyes to advanced PPC tactics
never been revealed.

PPCF 2.0 Course

The prelaunch will begin in a few weeks culminating
with the launch of Pay Per Click Formula 2.0 at the end
of March 2009.

As a valued PPCF member, you will get a free digital
upgrade to the non-software version (software version
of PPCF 2.0 will be bundled with programs such as LP
Gen, Speed PPC and many more), which many of you
already have.

Also as a customer, you will have the chance to join as
an affiliate in helping me promote the course since you
guys have been through PPCF 1.0.

I will send out affiliate details shortly as the
prelaunch date nears.

PPCF 2.0 Live Seminar In Toronto

It is official.

The live seminar for PPCF 2.0 will be on March 21 and
22nd in Toronto.

I am limiting the event to 100 people and I don't
expect many seats to last because anyone who purchased
Frank Kern's "Mass Control" course thru my affiliate
link last year gets to come for FREE.

That eliminates a potential 70 seats right there.

The sales letter will go live on February 9th, 2009 at
12:00 pm EST (Toronto time).

The seminar will also include the release of Pay Per
Text Formula, which will *probably* never be taught
outside this seminar.

The sales letter will be located at:

Giveaway Riches

I don't really promote other products to my PPCF buyers
list, but with the quality level and price for Jason
James "Giveaway Riches" at attractive levels, I suggest
you pick up a copy.

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=P9ciZ&m=1dpsl40VDbfFpL&b=3fgKdqlLdnQKLCbMdN8O7g

He is only charging $37.00 for a limited time for his
course on how he amassed a list of over 100,000
subscribers using free giveaways.

I love this course because it is unique and it adds
value in my opinion. I don't want to spoil the course,
but I think it actually would work well the "Workhorse"
method that I taught in PPCF 1.0.

Along the lines of the baby diaper example, you could
in theory do a giveaway in the HUGE baby market using
other people's contributions (i.e. baby ebooks) and
build a large email list.

The OTO could be a CPA offer and you have your JV
partners sending the traffic. Everyone wins because
they capture opt-in email addresses when their products
are downloaded.

Jason's course is hands-down the best resource if you
want to attempt something like this.

http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=P9ciZ&m=1dpsl40VDbfFpL&b=3fgKdqlLdnQKLCbMdN8O7g

If you are not interested in pursuing this from a CPA
aspect, it is still a good educational lesson on how
James amassed a list of over 100,000+ subscribers and
almost always finishes in the top ten of any affiliate
contest.

It also includes a swipe file of emails to use during
your own free giveaway.

There are a lot of high priced list-building courses
out there that cost up to $2,000, but in my opinion,
you can easily get into the game with two really good
courses.

Jason James' "Giveaway Riches" - $37
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=P9ciZ&m=1dpsl40VDbfFpL&b=3fgKdqlLdnQKLCbMdN8O7g

Michael Rasmussen's "Get More Buyers" - $97
http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=P9ciZ&m=1dpsl40VDbfFpL&b=GexEWh1laDVxZ.EpBzG5Mw

That is all you really need. Just these two "out-of-
the-box" courses.

Have a great weekend!

Best wishes,

Gauher Chaudhry
