The Hidden World of Click Fraud

The Hidden World of Click Fraud

This is an interesting article if you PPC click fraud is killing your budget. A very interesting read as the writer interviews people from Lagos to find out more about how they make money just clicking advertisments.

It really is time the PPC engines started to work harder in this area. I know they have defences but they just aren't up to scratch and lower clicks and profits in the near term will pay off handsomely in the longer term future, I'm sure.

Any Gardeners in the House?

Those interested in Gardening or their garden in general might like to have a look at this new site, Gardening Monthly.

Yep, you've guessed it right, it's one of mine. I've just uploaded it and although it started off as just a simple adsense website with a few articles, I'm planning on developing it further now as I do actually have a love of gardening.

If anyone reading this wants to contribute with a gardening article or letter, question, etc, please feel free to email me at : gardening at doolallys.com

PPC v SEO

Which is better PPC (Pay Per Click) advertising or organic SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) results?

I've always been of the impression that SEO is best and drives more quality customers to your site but PPC is quick and gets you top rankings easily.

Read the discussion over at WebProWorld and see what you think.

Amazon's A-Store

I was emailled by Amazon this morning about their new A-Store feature available to Associates.

The new A-Store allows you to put a website up quickly and without any knowledge of programming, etc, to showcase whatever product you like that's featured in Amazon.

I thought I'd try this new fangled feature out by building a simple store and point a domain I'd registered ages ago to see how things worked out.

Sure enough, after probably about 15 minutes, my store was up and running and my domain was pointing to the correct link supplied by Amazon for my store.

The domain had previously been parked at Sedo and does get a few clicks per month. This seems an excellent way of parking domains or trying out Goggle's Adwords to see if you can produce a sale or two.

The domain I now have pointing at my Digital Camera store is Digital Camera Choice. Have a look to see what can be done with just 15 minutes of your time.

A great way to do something with those domains you have lurking about but haven't done anything with. I'd recommend you have a look and see for yourself.
