Hey everyone – Searches hanging in Micro Niche Finder?

It looks like we have a new Google Adwords update rolling in, and since we’re kind of at the mercy of Google, it’s taking us a bit of tweaking to get everything running seamlessly again (in fact, we’re testing new updates right at this very moment to see if it fixes everything). But rest assured: we will be able to fix it!

If you are outside the US you have likely been affected by this change already and searches that use google adwords will likely be hanging for you. We have been working on this nonstop and expect to have everything sorted out before too long. We will keep you updated, but we apologize for the inconvenience.

Feel free to ask questions, submit search logs, etc. by submitting a ticket here: http://www.tnrsupport.com/

Thanks for your patience!

If you have done any Google searches recently, you may have noticed a subtle but significant change regarding the placement of Adwords. In the past, a Google search would bring up ads at the top of the searches and on the right, like in this example:

Notice the placement of the ads? Top and right hand side – this has been the norm for Google until very recently.

Google will now allow advertisers to also offer their ads at the bottom of the search results. The reasoning behind this is that people are so conditioned to scan the search results strictly in an up and down fashion that ads on the right hand side of the page might not always be very visible (and thus effective). By placing the ads at the bottom of the search results, it is possible that these ads will receive greater traffic.

You can determine if your Adwords campaign will benefit from being placed on the bottom versus being placed on the side by analyzing the data within the AdWords interface. Look for the option that says “Top vs. Other” to look at your data (it used to be called “Top vs. Side”).

While ads will still be featured at the top of the search results, Google maintains that ads will either be placed on the bottom or on the side – they won’t show both simultaneously. The concern is that if ads are placed on the top, side, and bottom it would be too overwhelming and users wouldn’t perceive Google to be the best “neutral” search engine.

This is such a new change to Google that you may not see a lot of Ads places on the bottom at the current moment, but soon it will be as ubiquitous as the top and side ads. If you’re running or are starting an Adwords campaign (and Google’s Adwords Help is a great resource for those not familiar with Adwords), the placement of your ads is definitely something to take into consideration and monitor closely!

Micro Niche Finder automatically retrieves 100 search results. It’s easy to increase this amount, but you need an AdWords account to do this. Assuming you have one, this is how you change the settings.

1.) On the Micro Niche Finder home screen, click on the link that says “Programs and Settings”. A screen will automatically appear. Click on the tab that says “AdWords Login Settings”

2.) Select the box labeled “Login to Adwords when searching” and enter your Adwords account information to retrieve up to 800 results per search instead of the default 100 results.

We recommend setting the number of results to retrieve to be 300 or less; although 800 is the maximum available if you opt for more than 300 it may negatively affect Micro Niche Finder’s performance.

That’s it! A pretty simple way to customize your Micro Niche Finder to your demands.

Google AdWords is one of the many ways to earn money with internet marketing, and although it’s not the preferred method for everyone, countless people have earned a HEFTY chunk of change by running AdWords campaigns. If you are currently running such campaigns, or if you are thinking about potentially delving into AdWords campaigns, this post is especially for you.

First and foremost, it’s super important to read the Google AdWords Terms of Service (TOS) and Advertising Policies. It’s critical to understand what’s allowed and not allowed when running AdWords campaigns, because one false move and your AdWords account could be suspended forever! Unfortunately, once your account has been suspended there is absolutely no recourse for you.

I’m not here to discuss the ethical implications of how making an honest mistake could completely derail a stream of income for eternity (with no chance for a person to appeal their decision, even if it’s erroneous) nor do I want to discuss how thousands of people recently checked their email only to find their AdWords account had been suspended, often times without warning, for previously acceptable behavior.

Instead, I want to explain how you can still run completely legitimate and safe AdWords campaigns for your Clickbank (or Clickbank-affiliated) products.

It’s easy to do…just follow these instructions.

Step 1.) Duplicate the sales page and put it on your domain. It’s as easy as right-clicking the sales page in question to view the source code and copy-pasting the results. You MUST check with the Clickbank product owner for permission to do this first.

Attention Affiliates: since we sell Micro Niche Finder on Clickbank, consider this as an official “permission granted” proclamation. There is no need to submit a support ticket asking for our permission to duplicate our sales page.

Step 2.) Once you have copy-pasted the .html script from the sales page, insert this code somewhere near the top of the page:

<img height=”1″ src=”http://CBAFFID.PRODUCTID.hop.clickbank.net” width=”1″>

Replace CBAFFID with your Clickbank affiliate ID and replace PRODUCTID with the vendors Clickbank ID.

Let’s suppose that you are promoting Micro Niche Finder and your affiliate ID is batman. The code that you must insert near the top of your page would look like this:

<img height=”1″ src=”http://batman.kickbutt.hop.clickbank.net” width=”1″>

Notice the placement of “batman” and “kickbutt” (your Clickbank ID and Our Clickbank ID, respectively).

If you change the code above so that it relates to you and put this on your AdWords landing page (which is our sales page you copy-pasted onto your domain) you will get credit for the sale.

And now, a final word about duplicating the sales page.

While our affiliates have permission to duplicate our sales page verbatim, you can also write your own original content (or even just slighlty tweak/spin our content) so that it’s different from all the other Micro Niche Finder affiliate landing pages.  One example of this would be to put a video review of the product and then link directly to the product order form. As long as you have the code above on your page you’ll get credit for the sale.

If you use our sales page as your landing page, DO NOT make outlandish claims. Stick to the facts we give on our sales page. In fact, if you want our sales page to be your landing page keep all the content that was on our sales page intact (just add the code so you get the sale) and do not change anything. This is the fastest way to get your AdWords campaign started!

If you choose to write original content (such as the video example we gave above), do not exaggerate or make false claims. Our product is good, you don’ t need to fib about it (not that you would, anyway)! …Besides, you don’t want the FCC or Google to punish you for making false claims.

By either copy-pasting our sales page verbatim or by putting unique (and truthful) content on your AdWords landing page in addition to including the code given above, you should have a safe AdWords campaign up and running in no time!

For most bloggers, website developers, and internet marketers, Google Analytics is a basic necessity for ranking highly. Yet many people (especially those that are new to making profits on the internet) overlook this simple yet crucial step. 

Micro Niche Finder will help you find a suitable niche for your needs, but once you set up a website or blog, Google Analytics will tell you where the traffic coming to your website originates from. It’s one way to check the success of your site and it’s a great way to tweak your campaign where necessary.

When you add the Google Analytics JavaScript code to your site, Google anonymously collects information about how people are directed to your site, how long they remain on the site, what pages on your site are viewed most, what countries your visitors are coming from, and whether any conversion goals have been achieved.

The data collected by this code is updated many times throughout the day, giving you a very accurate idea of the traffic coming to your website. Types of traffic that Analytics uses are direct traffic, organic referrals, tagged campaign links, and un-tagged referral links.  Google Analytics is a thorough tool, and even links embedded in a .pdf file can be traced (which is great if you distribute or sell ebooks).

 The sites that brought your viewers/customers to your site is very important  - for instance, you may only have a 20% direct traffic rate, but 40% of your traffic could be coming from a website such as ezinearticles.com. Once you realize that ezinearticles is responsible for a large portion of your traffic, you may want to add more articles to ezinearticles. If you see that another website isn’t providing you the traffic you expected, you can either choose to not spend so much effort on deriving traffic from that site OR you can resolve to get more traffic from that site by changing your advertising strategy.

There are some limitations for using Google Analytics however – it is only available for websites that receive less than 5 million page views per month. Websites with more than 5 million page views can only use Google Analytics if the site is linked to an AdWords campaign. Some programs, such as Firefox’s NoScript, can accidentally block the Google Analytics tracking code. Analytics is not easily accessed or put into place on most telephones, except for the newest models (including smart phones and PDAs). In time all phone will be able to run and read the tracking code, but since it is JavaScript, most phone support for this technology isn’t quite there yet.

If you have a Google/Gmail account, you are already able to access Google Analytics. If you don’t have an account with Google, you will need to create one – it’s as easy as making a new gmail account. Once you are logged in, go to Google’s homepage and click on the text beneath the search box titled “Business Solutions”. This will take you to a new page with lots of features – click on the one that says “Analytics” under the “Enhance Your Website” category. Click through to “access analytics” and you should come to a screen that has your websites with all of their demographic and marketing information collected for you to investigate.

If you have never set up a website on Google’s Analytics before, it’s very simple. To start, look in the top right part of your screen – there should be a drop-down box preceded by “My Analytics Accounts”. Click on the box and choose the “Create New Account” option. Google walks you through it from there, and it’s not difficult at all. You can create up to 50 Analytics accounts per Google account, so feel free to repeat this process for other websites of yours you want to track!
