Well,
the votes are tallied and the publication frequency of the Boomer
eZine will be monthly on the first of each month.
The vote was very close (57.1% for monthly).
I
have to admit that monthly is OK with me.
After grinding out 74 issues in 74 weeks, I look forward to
writing a larger ezine once per month.
Linda
and I will work to give you a quality ezine on the monthly schedule.
If something really interesting comes up between regularly
scheduled issues, we will send out a special issue if we deem it
appropriate.
Don
’t worry. We do not
intend to become another Jason James, Michael Rasmussen, or (you provide
the name of the Internet marketer who fills your inbox).
These people pump out emails and each one contains the latest
“secret” for success on the Internet.
The ones succeeding are the marketers.
This
issue is really short since we are scrambling to get ready to go to
Dallas
to see our new grandson.
I
am writing this on Wednesday since we are leaving tomorrow (9/6) for
Dallas
(500 miles).
I will set the eZine up on Aweber, the autoresponder that we use,
and it will send it to you on Friday evening.

Pay Per Click Marketing
I
am having fun and success with PPC campaigns, and I want to spend more
time expanding those campaigns.
If
you want to try it, my advice on this is simple.
Start on AdCenter to learn the trade.
It is more forgiving since the clicks are not as expensive as
Google. The traffic is lower
so you will not make as much as Google, but you also won’t wake up in
the morning and find that the campaign you set up the night before has
just sent you to the poor house.
Pick
targeted keywords that only a viewer would enter if they had already
done preliminary research. This
indicates that they are close to buying.
Set your match type as exact so they have to enter the keyword
exactly like you have set it up. This
will reduce the impressions that you get, but it will increase your
click through rate.
Good
keywords are model numbers of items that are popular.
Use these as your keywords. If
someone is shopping for something, when they know enough to enter the
exact model number, you have a real, live buyer.
Write
very targeted ads so the keywords appear in the ads in several places.
AdCenter
has the ability to individually vary the Description and the display URL
for each keyword {param2} and {param3}.
This means that you can’t just set up a fixed ad and list
several keywords for the ad. You
must tailor the ad for each keyword.
This
takes more work to create the ad, but you must work on this to make it
happen. The more times the
reader sees her/his keyword in the ad, the more likely she/he will be to
click the ad.
Create
good landing pages for your ads so the viewer will be inspired to give
you the “magic click $$$”.
Retirement Jobs Online
is #2
on Google
(for
now)
You
can accuse me of bragging, and I guess I am.
The first search engine results page for “retirement jobs”
seems to get scrambled by Google each week now.
We
used to see the same websites in the same positions for a long time, but
now I wake up and look to see who is where and who has disappeared from
the top 10.
I
am not naïve enough to think that RJO will remain in #2 since Google
will scramble the first 10 again, but it is nice to see it there after
all the hard work to build the website.
Also,
it results in a substantial traffic increase to the website since it
places the RJO “above the fold” on the viewer’s monitor.
She/he does not have to scroll down to find it.
I
know that it sounds like a broken record, but I must give Site Build It
most of the credit. I
supplied the hard work and it supplied the plan to follow and the
support to achieve the success.
If
you want to try Site Build It yourself, take a look at http://www.retirement-jobs-online.com/site-build-it.html.
That wraps up our
issue. Our next issue will
be on October 1, so stay tuned.
