Google AdWords bans squeeze pages!
As I’ve talked about a lot, I’ve been testing non-stop the past few months to optimize my opt-in pages for maximum performance, and I’ve achieved insane opt-in rates as a result.
That was all well and good until yesterday afternoon, when I logged into my AdWords account for a routine health check. I found that my quality scores were significantly down across the board. In plain English, this meant that I was suddenly paying substantially more money for dramatically lower ad positions, and far less traffic overall.
Strong Earthquake Hits SoCal
We had a 5.8 earthquake here today, but I missed it because it struck while I was in the car driving to my office, and while a 5.8 is strong and scary, it’s not enough to be noticeable while in a moving vehicle.
While this is my first SoCal earthquake, I experienced a 5.8 in the middle of the night while living in Hawaii – an even more seismically active region than California – so it’s not my first ever.
In any case, all is well here … no damage anywhere, phone and internet are all up and working, and it’s business as usual today!
Google improves placement tool
Google AdWords now includes the ability to choose placements for content/CPM ads right in each individual ad group.
