Reply to: Google Adsense

It all goes through my Ltd. Milan. Justifies (well maybe) essential costs like ADSL line and (on current count) 6 PC's/Laptops

Alexei...

Thanks for the pmessage m8 -
I think that your idea of combining image recognition with pupil dilation detection and the mechanical penile stimulator is a sure fire winner in some circles. My only concern would be the number of warranty returns of the hardware through overuse by folks like Milan - it would need to be very heavy duty I fear.

Fiddle,

"That comes to well over a grand. I'm hoping at least some will buy a new facility - if they all did it would come to around £4k. Certainly not worth a flotation but recurring money for very little work now that main site coding and data are in place. I'm hoping to make an additional £1k -£2k from banners, adsense, and amazon based on last year plus the growth I'm seeing. "

I hope you told Hector.

Milan.

thats fine mate, thanks - there might be areas of mutual benefit, will discuss later when I get software to sell

> will give good margin to resellers though

I doubt I've got a suitable site to resell your stuff but send me a private message on the general area your software targets and I'll think about setting one up if it sounds attractive and the % is right (in short if I think there's any money in it for me).

Can do reciprocal links in IT Doctors if you wish but that is hardly a traffic magnet - we just get out of work yanks asking us for jobs and third world outsourcers asking us for business - plus the odd Indian trying to scrounge free manuals

> Just don't think it's easy - it takes time and effort to build
> traffic.

yeah i know thats why i want to do it full time 0]

few grand is not bad, but i want to have my own products rather than just being a reseller, will give good margin to resellers though

I wish you the bestof luck with your sites and hope you do make some money. Just don't think it's easy - it takes time and effort to build traffic.

I'm posting out my invoices today to the campsite owners who use the extra facilities of KwikBreaks over and above the free stuff. That comes to well over a grand. I'm hoping at least some will buy a new facility - if they all did it would come to around £4k. Certainly not worth a flotation but recurring money for very little work now that main site coding and data are in place. I'm hoping to make an additional £1k -£2k from banners, adsense, and amazon based on last year plus the growth I'm seeing.

once I make my first grand off my site I am gonna make you eat your hat

Somebody bounce that ****** bot - it's replying to the wrong threads now.

I hate to say it but I think the MilanB build performs rather better - true the volume is less but the quality is better.

err just because they did not catch you does not mean they wont in the future, its take a thief who had beginners luck and felt that he got away with it - yes in _that_ case, but we all know for whom the bell tolls, bet you don't even know the significance of that phrase my young foolish friend

I get enough amusement reading posts from know-nothing fcukwits here thanks.

I well remember your advice that what I was doing would be the kiss of death for my seach engine ranking.

When I showed you it about #2 or #3 on google on one of the common search terms you then suggested it would only show up on that one.

Well now it's on a new server and I get some better stats as they just report on the server log content - February so far shows visitors using 537 different keyphrases and finding the site. :rollin

> Well my % click on adwords has dropped to 0.9%

you mean AdSense? :b

you should really read up more on these forums - www.webmasterworld.com/

almost all of them free but you need to register, its well worth it

> I am a prominent speaker there

now why doesn't that surprise me

Well my % click on adwords has dropped to 0.9% but that's because they are on most pages now and some pages will be better for clicks than others obviously.

The targetting is a little off on some pages too - I'll do a little work on what the bot sees on those pages then maybe it will do better. Payout is up by a fair margin on the banners which now only serve as an alternate to the public service ones which don't pay.

its all about a function of f(clicks * conversion * margin) > cost

I tried ad-words for about a month - cost us a fortune with absolutely no return whatsoever.

Personally, I think people use them simply to check out the opposition.

The secret is ---- ah well, if I knew that I'd be a rich man too!

no I was talking about AdSense well before AdWords, I posted it right after Google introduced it saying that it (in my view) has potential. Apparently its not working too well actually, interesting that your figures (so far) are not too bad.

i aint betting everything on adwords - I have some hooks with relevant communities of people who buy software and I am a prominent speaker there
