Little trick to sabotage your competition

Cardinal Sin, Techniques, Virtual War, mAdsense No Comments »

When this idea came to me, I thought it was too stupid to work. I gave it a shot, and it actually worked.

Here it is. As usual, if a competitor is stupid enough to have adsense on his site, go to your adwords account and make a new image ad site placed to his url.

Put up a blank image, yes, a blank image, and bid high to ensure the top spot. The color of the image should be the same as his background, so if its pink, put pink…

You will have to submit the image ad several times until a bored google employee approves it, but if you did any facebook ads, you are already used to the drill.

What this does is simply negating his adsense income for as long as he does not notice it, since noone clicks the ad. Almost noone, I had 2 clicks and 23k impressions.

Easy? Yes

Stupid? Completely

Does it work? Yup

After ccnp and mcp, a lot of mcdst professionals who are not interested in a comptia certification, instead settle down for ccda.

Try something new for a change

Yesterday I played around with my adwords account. I got billed a shitload of money. As I was ready to pause the campaign, and go to the bank to pay off my overcharged credit card,Β  I decided to let the campaign roll for a few more hours.

Then I logged on to CJ, and saw that not only did I break even, but I had made a big profit as well.

I cannot tell you yet what I did, as I want to capitalize a bit more on the idea…

Oh, what the hell, the internet is big enough for all of us. Here it is:

  • Go to your CJ account (if you dont have one, get it now)
  • Find a popular (4-5 network traffic) offer, with a small lead payout. 1$-6$, something like that.
  • Get one of your generic name domains, or just buy a .info
  • Make a fast landing page, nothing too fancy, just get some relevant keywords to improve your QS. Point the links to the CJ offer.
  • Go to Adwords, and create a new campaign. Depending on your chosen offer, make the target smaller, or put in the whole world.
  • Create only image ads, and go to the page where you select a pic to upload.
  • Open your CJ offer’s links page, see what banners fit the Adwords sizes. The most common ones are large leaderboard horizontal and vertical, and the 250×250 box. Save the pics on a folder, and upload them one by one to adwords as separate ads.
  • For the keywords, you will need a couple of thousand. Use the adwords keyword tool to generate relevant search phrases and keywords to your campaign. Max the limit.
  • At the campaign settings, choose accelerated campaign performance, and check out of the search network.
  • Bid 0.10 or 0.05 for your ads, and set a daily budget you can afford.

That is all! The image ads will take a few days to get approved, and once they do, they will give you over half a million impressions every day, with hundreds of clicks as well.

As soon as it starts working out for you, you can simply work on the landing page’s QS, import more keywords, change targeting, bid more or less depending on your cashflow, or simply create a new campaign with the same concept.

If it doesnt work, try the same on a different offer. I recommend the small payout lead offers, because they convert easier. A more experienced affiliate could try out the same with a sales offer.

Even in web hosting, these days new web design references are coming up, for various dedicated servers, with companies offering various deals of domain registration as well as website design.
