Facebook Ad Power Review

February 19, 2010
Facebook Ad Power Review

I'm going through Ryan Deiss' Facebook Ad Power training. I can't stop. It's great stuff It further solidifies what I was already thinking: Anyone who has done Adwords will be like a kid in a candy store! So many people to target (400 million Facebook users!). So many interests and groups you can target. Facebook is all about people talking...

Is Google afraid of Facebook?

February 18, 2010
Is Google afraid of Facebook?

Ryan Deiss just came out with a shocking presentation, talking about how he switched completely over to Facebook, from AdWords (except for Gmail advertising).

The AdWords Secret vs “The Secret”

Using Google Chrome Improved my AdWords Performance?

Using Google Chrome Improved my AdWords Performance?

Does Google reward you, with better Adwords performance,  for using Google Chrome? I’d say yes! Though I’m also having fun here, giving some of those “Google Conspiracy Theorists” something to think about. You know, the same people that think if you spend money on Adwords you get higher listings on organic search! Anyway, a few minutes ago I...

[Ad Split Testing Tip] Don’t Discard an Ad Too Soon

February 13, 2010

When running 2 or more ads in parallel (which you should strive to always do), it’s often tempting to just “eyeball” the CTR results and pick an ad as The Winner.
