Speaking of opening another account… essentially what you said you did at Yahoo is how I got the site back online for advertising at Google…

I created a new site with the old site template, changed the text, created a new Adwords account, and now it’s generating leads again from Adwords. It has a quality score of 7, and probably will go back to 8 once I get a record of conversions going again.

So, I’ve redirected the old site traffic to the new domain, and will take the old domain down completely. Lot of work just because some corporate dude who doesn’t have their own business makes a “judgment” decision. It will get to the point that Both Yahoo and Google will start losing because they think they are in control.

Plenty of entrepreneurs out there just looking for the chance to knock them off.

One hand doesn’t frickin’ know what the other is doing in that place… not at all.

And while we’re on the topic of approvals, have you noticed how picky Ezine Articles is getting? I mean, I’m a professional writer. Guaranteed that I’ve had waaaaaaaaay more stuff published than their editors, but wow…

They wouldn’t approve “netmarketing” as a keyword in one of my articles. Yes, I know it’s not proper, but people type it into Google. It’s OK to put “listbuilding” in but not “netmarketing.” Go figure. I really don’t like grammatical errors, but it is VERY frustrating.

We’re just at their mercy, eh Wayne?

I didn’t think you got as frustrated as I do!

But your right, people come online and expect too much. I think part of the problem is the number of so-called “SEO” firms that advertise by telling how fast they’re going to get you to the top of the search engines.

Honestly, I think there are better ways to appeal to a customer’s senses then this, especially since it can only be done “quickly” for obscure keywords.

Speaking of being labeled spam, I recently had a site that was for lead generation essentially be “cut-off” by Adwords simply because they thought it looked too much like another site!

I used a templated squeeze page format, with my own content. The content was similar to, but not a copy of another site. In fact, it was the site which gave me the rights to model their site.

So the structure and surface appearance were similar, and the type of service message was for the same niche. But the content was completely different. Yet Google shut me off and won’t allow it to run with Adwords – even though they originally scored the page with a quality score of 8.

So, the point is, if you think you’re getting away with something — think again! You will eventually get nailed by Google – and maybe even for what seems like unjustified reasons.

Good news is, there are lots of ways to get people to your site besides Google, so it isn’t the end of the world — if you have legitimate, valuable, and original content.

See you soon
