The Death of Adwords?

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Hi,

I've been so busy transfering my house to the new owners and moving that I haven't had time to work!  You can read about the move and other thoughts and daily things at http://angelawickenberg.com.

I'll also write about my upcoming firesale in this blog very soon.  The firesale will be at http://startingoversale.com and will offer a more than fantastic deal.  Watch for this in the coming days.  Also coming very soon is the re-launch of http://e-bizsecretsexposed.com as a membership site.  *Lots of great news to come in the coming weeks.

One report that I did give time to reading was by a former Google Adwords administrator, Simon Leung, who claims that Adwords will soon be dead!

I read through the report, which I had to pay $2 for.  There are a lot of credible testimonials on the page and the report is a precurser to an ebook that presents solutions to the problems, a classic marketing tactic.  I found the report worthwhile and paid the $2 because I know that Simon really was an employee of Google's so I wanted to read what he had to say. The ebook lays claims to being able to save your business from a slow and painful death.  Unless you've been living under a rock for the past few months, then you are well-aquainted with the many changes that have come about in adwords.  Some months ago - nearly a year - many businesses went completely under due to these changes.  Many of the businesses were legitimate, but many weren't and were abusing the Adwords system.  Even though many of the strategies used for Adwords became obsolete after the infamous "Google Slap", several marketers have continued to profit by selling out-dated ebooks and courses on the subject.  Some marketers simply weren't aware of the harm they were doing, but perhaps some just didn't care whether the information was up-to-date or not.  Some marketers sell information on heresay, not having tested anything that they sell.  This is prevalent in affiliate marketing circles - marketers take a product that is selling and without testing it at all just push it to make as much money as possible.

So in this sense it might be a wise decision to read Simon's report and purchase his book.  He is a very reputable source of information for Adwords strategies and tactics.  Here's the link again:

Death Of Information Marketing?

As marketers, in 2006 and 2007 we saw several "Death of" reports;

First out was Scott Boulch in November 2006 with "The Death Of Adsense."

Scott wrote that within a few days, he had built a list of over 38,000 subscribers.

I don't  know how many subscriptions to his software "thelistvirus" he was able to

get - probably a lot of them.  It was a smart tactic that worked  like money in the bank,

Just a short week or so after, we heard from Mike Filsaime with his

"The Death of Internet Marketing".  He gave away his list building software

and built a list of over 50,000 people. He wrote that in just over 24 hours,

they had over 34,346 people create an account to get the report.

(and he thanked Keith Baxter and Scott Boulch in the email he sent

out to his list for their marketing campaign for Their Death of AdSense

report, inspired him on how to market his own report.  The marketing

method was to pay for the referrals - so as a marketer using this traffic tactic

- it required money to make the money).

Next in line were a series of separate articles and pre-sales pages:

"The Death of Email Marketing", "The Death of Adwords for Affiliates",

"The Death of the Search Engine Spammer", and many spin offs of that theme.

 

Rich Schrefren also came out with a very popular series of reports last year

along the same lines.

Then Simon Leung came out with his "The Death Of Google Adwords" report as a

pre-launch to his adwords products.  I never heard how the campaign went.

 

Just the other day or so ago, I received another "Death of" report. 

The first thought in my mind was "Oh No!  Not another 'Death of' report!".

I had to find out if it was the same kind of information in the report.

The title is "The Death of Information Marketing As We Know It"


Dan Lok writes that he spent close to three months working on his

"Death of" report, which is slightly over 40 pages.

http://www.deathofinformationmarketing.com

In it he claims to reveal exactly what's going on in the

high-powered world of info marketing.

He writes that the manuscript is the result of behind-closed-doors

conversations with a mastermind group he is a part of.

(It's a group where you have to be making at least 7

figures a year to belong to.)

 

He says there will be no pitches. No affiliate links. No product

launches. There should be some product or service trailing behind;

this is the way it works in the world of marketing.

Anyway, I read the report and I agree that there is a lot of

actionable information in it that one could put into

immediate use for your business, so give it a read if you

haven't already downloaded the report.
