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.

Choosing a Domain Name

Choosing a domain name for your new website is a difficult decision that's not made wasier by the fact that most of the good domain names have already been snapped up.

This article on called How to Pick a Winning Domain Name is nicely written and gives you, especially if your are fairly new to the domain name market, a few pointers on how to choose that illusive domain name.

It's an important business and the article gives a few useful pointers to bear in mind when searching for your new name.

Mahjong Online

I've released another site which I'd forgotten about until now, it was released last week and if you're a fan of playing Mahjong then you should find it useful and interesting.

It's mainly aimed at new players to the game, teaching them the rules of Mahjong and also where and how to play Mahjong Online.

The site www.mahjongonline.eu is the first domain I've created using the .eu suffix and I'm interested to see how it will fare and if the search engines will prefer it in Europe rather than the rest of the world.

Heartburn Cure

I've been working on a number of Projects recently which I intend to reveal to the waiting world as they are released.

For just now though, I'm going to show you my new site, based on the treatment and cure of heartburn.

The Heartburn Cure website gives more detail about what heartburn is and how to cure it both naturally and with the use of drugs. It highlights many different remedies that can be used to help with this very common digestive problem.

If you're a heartburn sufferer, I hope it helps!
