Current price 25.3 Buy in, or let it keep going?  Sure fire way to make money on the Stock Exchange 29th May 2012 5:07 PM Trends? When it's going down, buy! Tend to misjudge it from time to time  Fundementals - no idea. Clearly not! An occasional punter taking advantage of some big boys that seem to regularly swing backwards and forwards. When this economic doom and gloom is a memory, I suspect my fledgling shares career will be consigned to anecdotal history...

Adwords will tell you if a keyword isn't a high enough bid to be displayed (though be wary, as this is dynamic, ie it changes constantly). Position wise, it depends what your bid is. As some of your keywords gain impressions, you can see what the average position that the add showed. Personally, I find position 4 or 5 works better for me than position 1, but you will work that out for yourself. There are loads of adwords resources on the 'net, but no substitute for having a dabble and playing with real data. Just keep a low daily spend, maybe a couple of pounds and you will have a few weeks of free training while you use googles voucher  UK University Tuition Fee Concerns 28th May 2012 1:37 PM Interesting point, lucky for me it's going to be a while before I have to worry about it, but I wonder what are the alternatives?

Don't just rely on a default price for all your keywords, experiment. Keep your quality score high, if it's low, then your keywords not relevant to your landing page and you will end up paying too much money. Set up a simple campaign, add a few keywords, and then tweak it. Once you have 14 days worth of data, start analyzing your results and add in any negative (irrelevant) keywords to keep your costs down. Good luck and let us know how you get on! Social Network Traffic Generation 25th May 2012 5:34 PM “That's some more statistics for me to learn of your FB business tactics, yeah! I'm coming in for you Steve, watch it.  lol”If a few stats help, then go for it Similar story to the other thread we were talking on, but FB can actually work for business, just finding the technique that suits your own site.Exit Strategy - do you have one? 25th May 2012 5:25 PM “Your exit strategy is also really important if you are looking to raise capital from investors as they will be looking to know when they can see a return on their money!!!” Very interesting, I bet not many VC's would invest in a company that didn't have a clearly defined strategy, which would include an exit point. Good food for thought if you are looking for investment for rapid growth, that could then make you more attractive to purchase by a bigger fish... |
