YouTube Sponsored PPC Search: The New Google Adwords

It should show you everything you need to know in order to get started.  It basically works like any other PPC (pay per click) search advertising.  You put in the keyword you want to target and the highest price you’re willing to pay for clicks.

If Google handles this right, it could become the next Google AdWords. I’ve been doing a lot of testing the past few days and will be sharing all the tips and tricks I figure out to my subscribers.  So if you aren’t already subscribed, enter your name and email address into the top right of any page on my site http://www.billmcintosh.com and sign up.

I’ll also be covering everything I’ve learned in my upcoming live broadcast of my Internet marketing show that happens every Tuesday at 6:30 PM Pacific Standard time.  To tune in, just go to: http://www.billmcintosh.tv/live when it’s show time.  There will be a live chat room and I’ll be answering your online marketing questions.

Last week Google accidentally let slip that they will be penalizing AdWords advertisers for slow loading times of landing pages. You can view the Google’s FAQ on this topic here.

(For those not intimately familiar with AdWords, if you are bidding $.05 for the keyword phrase “best keyword ever”, you may have to increase your bid anywhere from $.20 to as much as $10.00 if Google thinks your landing page is too slow.)

Wow. This brings up a bunch of questions. What is “slow”? How will I know if I am penalized? How do I fix it? How much will this cost me!?

What is “slow”?

Since “slow” is a relative term, you may think your page loads great. Google says in their Help Center:

…we evaluate your load time relative to the average in your server’s geographic region.

How will I know if I am penalized?

Look at how your keyword is graded on the Keyword Analysis page. If it says, “This page loads slowly”, you are affected.

How do I fix it?

Put simply, if you are a web developer, just follow the directions they list: use few redirects, reduce page size, stop using interstitials, and minimizing iframes. If you aren’t, you will need to get someone to help you.

And even once you do fix it, it will take awhile for Google to take away the penalty:

The AdWords system re-evaluates landing pages on a regular basis. If you make significant improvements to your landing page’s load time, you should see an improved Quality Score and lower minimum cost-per-click (CPC) bids. Note that your Quality Score may update incrementally over a number of weeks after you improve your load time.

How much will this cost me?

No one knows yet the extent of “slow” that Google is penalizing. But irregardless, if you are not actively managing your AdWords campaign and watching for penalties, this could cost you A LOT of money. Like any of the other penalties Google lists in their 100 page document, if you don’t know what they are, you can’t be possibly be able to ensure they don’t happen to you.

My takeaway from this: AdWords Is For Professionals

Adwords is going from “too darn complicated” to “tax law complicated”. With so much money being spent, it is not a system for an AdWords newbie to dabble in. Unless you have a wildly successful campaign that can make you money even with all the mistakes you WILL make, it will more than likely cost you A LOT of money.

If you start an AdWords account with the desire to “learn as you go”, you are shooting yourself in the foot. You will cause penalties to your account that can take years to correct. Sometimes, the problems will never go away.

And with this penalty, you could be over-paying Google, not know it, and not even realize it was because of your site speed (or dozens of other factors most new webmasters wouldn’t have a clue about).

Trying to figure out AdWords as you go is like trying to represent yourself in court. Sure, you may get lucky, but do you want to bank on that?

For those of you who don’t know: Google periodically cleans house in their AdWords program. They single out websites and assign them a poor “quality score”. These sites hit by this bad score have their minimum bid prices skyrocket to $5 or $10 per click. This effectively bans you from AdWords since most webmasters cannot afford to pay $10 for every click Google sends their way.

These rounds of quality score updates have affectionately been called the “Google Slap” by those in the Internet Marketing community. Not even the big spenders in AdWords are immune from the Google Slap. I’ve personally had campaigns that spent six figures every month with Google get slapped and go from $150,000+ in monthly spending to nothing. So they don’t seem to mind offending big advertisers.

Over the past day or so there’s a whole new round of Google Slaps hitting many sites. This is round 4 of the Google Slap. Webmasters, marketers and business owners everywhere woke up this morning finding their bids jacked up from pennies to $10. The people who relied upon AdWords as their biggest source of traffic are essentially out of business overnight.

I’ve heard rumors that in some cases Google Slapped so many sites this time that some major keywords actually have no advertisers running at all. I’ve seen several of the markets I’m advertising in get thinned out where there were dozens of advertisers last week and now there are less than 10.

I completely understand Google’s desire to have quality listings in the AdWords program, but the problem I have is that Google sure seems inconsistent and arbitrary in the way they apply the quality score. I’ve seen horrible sites survive the Slap and keep running fine while at the same time quality sites get hit hard. I even have a campaign I manage that ranks in the top 4 organic search results for all its major keywords. It’s a 10 year old site and is an authority in its market. However, Google has slapped it and refuses to adjust its poor quality score. So they’ll send free traffic from their organic search results, but will not let me pay them to be in AdWords.

Another problem with the Google Slap is, in some cases, once you’re slapped you can’t fix it. You might as well throw away your domain name and start all over.

That’s why I always advise that anyone who wants to use Google AdWords to study up on it completely before doing anything. I don’t mean a casual study either. You must understand all aspects of using Google AdWords; Including their Landing Page & Site Quality Guidelines, the Google Webmaster Guidelines and how to make your site generate sales effectively. Otherwise you’re likely throwing money out the window while risking being slapped permanently.

Now to top things off, Google accidentally uploaded the future version of their terms of use. This was a mistake and they quickly pulled it down, but not before some clever webmasters had a look at what’s coming in the future. Google is apparently going to keep track of how well the server your website is on runs. If it runs to slow for Google’s liking, they’ll slap you!

I’ll cover more on this one within the next day or two.

This one change could cost you your online business!

In my video below, I’ll show you what I found and explain what Google has been testing and what these new search results could mean for Google AdWords advertisers:

I attended an online marketing seminar recently on how Google AdWords and traditional search engine optimization have become so dependent on each other. There was some talk of Google’s new approach to displaying search results changing the entire landscape of search engine optimization. However, I don’t think anyone in attendance had yet realized that this could have such an enormous impact on AdWords advertisers.

I have been an AdWords advertiser for many years and have driven millions of visitors to my sites with it, but have never seen something that could so drastically slash my AdWords traffic as this Google experiment.

Will Google’s new concept kill your AdWords traffic?

What do you think? Comment below and let me know.

I’m off tonight for San Diego to Howie Schwartz’s online marketing seminar this weekend December 14th & 15th.

The event is titled: “Two Sides Of Traffic Workshop: Adwords Meets Organic”

There are two seminars:

Friday’s event is regarding two ways of driving online web traffic. The first is covering expert level use of AdWords to drive paid online visitors to your website. The second, about using search engine optimization and other traffic “tricks” to bring visitors to your site. So it’s a covering both the free and paid side of traffic generation.

Simon Leung is the featured speaker on AdWords. Simon is a Google AdWords expert and former employee of Google so I’m sure I’ll get some inside information. I’ve seen Simon speak before and he has shown that he knows a lot about AdWords.

Saturday’s seminar is exclusively for customers of Dr. Mike and Howie’s new online lead generation product called “Lead Supreme”.

Howie is a great guy and I’ve been to several of his seminars on AdSense, Affiliate marketing and how to drive web traffic. They’re usually so good that I buy tickets for all my execs to come down with me, but this time I’m heading off alone.

I wish I could attend this one, but it’s my son Nicholas’ birthday and there’s no way I would miss that! So I’ll be driving back home Friday night and sending one of my business partners down in my place.

I’ll pass on anything useful that I learn to my subscribers and send you a few photo’s from the event. I always pick up a couple of new tidbits of information that I can use to drive even more web traffic to all my sites

So be sure to sign up using that form on the top right of my site. Just stick your name and email where it asks you to and hit the submit button. Don’t worry, I’m not going to flood your inbox with Spam!

Until then,

To your prosperity
