Simply tell the customer what they are doing wrong and tell them how to resolve it. That would be much more professional than simply raising the minimum bid by some ridiculous amount.

As for the organic rankings, I learned a long time ago that if your business is reliant upon any ranking in Google, you might as well be jumping on thin ice with a noose tied around your neck.

All my best to you and your breakthrough solution

Google is, for all intents and purposes, a very arrogant digital bully. Their “do no evil” mantra is a joke.

Google may be good at organizing information, but they are clueless when it comes to understanding people’s searching habits.

Google believes that it know what people want when they are searching, but they have blurred the lines between information seekers and shoppers.

Information seekers want sites loaded with content, thus giving them the information they want, and a “good user experience”.

Shoppers typically don’t want to have to wade through pages of articles telling you about the history of product XYZ or make 6 or 7 clicks through navigation to find what they are looking for. If a person searches for blue widgets, and I am selling blue widgets, I should have the right to offer said person blue widgets, without having to have 40 pages of content surrounding those blue widgets.

As for affiliate marketers, Google believes that it is best for people to buy from the product owner, not from affiliate marketers. They have almost reached a point where they will go over your site with a fine-tooth comb if they see that you’re an affiliate. I have had them bring PPC traffic to one of my sites to a screeching halt for no apparent reason, other than the fact that I was promoting a product as an affiliate, and the product owner was also promoting that same product. Keep in mind that I was promoting it from my very own website, with my own unique content on it. It took them two days to tell me why my traffic had suddenly stopped, even though my quality scores were great and my click through rates were all great too.

Google is driving themselves right out of the PPC business and it’s no wonder that their stock has dropped from $800 to $400 over these past several months. If you’re a Google stock holder, sell it now while it’s still worth something, because they are burying themselves with their own arrogance and lame, ignorant policies.

Other times Google seems like a woman or the Chinese – finicky, screaming and hollering that it’s wrong, but never saying what to fix. With the way Google has colluded with China, Google is pretty much like the Chinese. But also like a woman – “I think of a man and take away reason and accountability” (that’s from the movie As Good As It Gets).

I am one of many thousand that had a legitimate web site google slapped with no explanation. My only regret is my reliance of google to drive traffic. How you can get a top page ranking for keywords yet cannot bid for them astounds me!

I think Google has underestimated their advertisers and in time this will come back to haunt them. They are one of few businesses (outside banking and finance) that by there actions can effectively ruin a business in a day. How an adwords campaign sending thousands of visitors a day to a site can suddenly become irrelevant with no explanation is unbelievable.

They may have broken new ground in what they created search engine wise but they are making new ground in what history will show to be there biggest mistake. PPC still provides there core income yet they make changes with no explanation to those that provide this income?? Ever heard of killing the goose that lays the golden egg??

It’s a shame, but we’re pulling our budget and spending it on Y!, MS, Ask, and the like.

So you want to generate some site traffic

Web users are creatures of habit once you have them they are yours until you upset them, If they are looking for a product or page 56% will go to Google type in a search and hit the button.

If your site is well frequented or you pay for ad-words you may make the first page, if not you will have to pay for ad words or be lost in the other pages, how many times do you go to page two or three of the search!.

Well http://www.showmehowto.org could be the one for you its free and that’s a good start, it has a USP that’s individual in its approach and you can tailor it to suit your needs.

It’s a video sharing platform where members load video’s that can be tutorial, fun or infomercials once they have done that the member has the opportunity to place a banner and link above that video that can promote their website, blog or web shop to the viewer.

The benefit of being able to place your banner is if the viewer has a interest in the video the banner and link you put up become a portal to his or her requirements and not just a advert for your product that is placed on a page that has little relevance to you or your product by a third party.

As long as you have some skills in screen grab or you can use a camcorder I can’t see any drawbacks in using http://www.showmehowto.org it offers most people and businesses a way to promote their product in a more direct manner weather you’re a multinational company with product that is helped by a visual explanation or your explaining how to use product.

How many times have you heard “I don’t read the instructions” or “I never used that option as I don’t understand the instructions”

http://www.showmehowto.org is the opportunity for people that know how, to pass that knowledge on to others and monetise that service,

If you can program a video, work a program like excel put a page up on the web you can make money from the banner as the more viewers you get the more valuable the banner space above becomes.
