Ruck, have you still been able to get away with keyword stuffing and MSN?

You can try framing it Frivvy. If that fails, then please email using the contact form ok. I will send you what I call the “end all bullshit solution” that I resort to when they start giving me the stick.

I rather not speak out loud about it though.

I can’t begin to thank you for posting this. It has helped me alot. I have managed to get 28 adgroups active and receiving traffic. The only problem I am having is getting good conversions using my own landing page. Getting people to click over to the affiliate page is causing me to have low conversions. I’m sure if I linked directly to the merchant page, my keywords will become inactive. Do you have any suggestions?

Yea,

Dude when they told me that I nearly rolled over in my seat. Unfortunately, I have gone thru about a month of dealing with the ineffectiveness of not knowing this. To some people they may say “well it’s only one month” but NOV and DEC are my HEAVY months for promoting affiliate products, and now that it’s half over here in NOV, I find that I have to design a completely different page for MSN. Which is ok I guess, the ROI is incredible there, but that will surely go down as well, as word thru the grapevine is that their content network is in beta or soon to be.

It will be interesting to see what happens, but I can say with the recent Google Slap last week on outbound links to email and zip submits, it is a great network to help recover some of the campaigns I had to pause on G.

I don’t know why stuff like this keeps taking me by surprise. All SEs (yes, even Google) seem to have something “not quite right.”

This, however, takes the cake. They encourage keyword stuffing. Wow…

My favorite line in the whole post, though:

“She said I have to understand that she is only a specialist.”

A bit like the guy flying your airplane saying, “Hey, I’m just the pilot.”

That’s the FRIKKIN’ point! lol

Apart from humour and getting straight to the point without a buncha bullshit and hype, this post–in and of itself–is a great lesson in SEO.

Might be interesting to check certain SERP’s for some keywords over the next few days.

Thanks for yet another good one.

Best,
Sine

I agree… i know so much about PPC to make shitloads this month, but the fear of one mistake keeps me from starting with adwords…

Free SE traffic for me for NOW… i might have to collect enough capital to backup my self so i don’t shoot my self either… hehe…

MSN definitely has a lot of issues… they were never perfect… take the OS for example…

even with the all new Vista, there’s still hundreds of bugs being fixed every single day.. why the F***K do they release it without fixing all the issues first…

that’s who they are…

anyways, seriously man… you are hilarious…! hehehehe…

Good for me?

While it may seem funny, if I didn’t have the capital to back up this damn shennigan they keep pulling, I just might have shot myself.
