Clickz is reporting that Google is discontinuing its Adsense Video Units…

“The demise of AdSense video units does not impact the availability of other video-related ads options, stressed Google. It noted that video ads may appear in AdSense for content ad units for users who have “opted into” image ads. Also, AdSense for video is ’still accepting applications from eligible publishers who produce video content,’ said the Google announcement.”

SpyFu, – a site where you can “”Spy on your online competitors” —  reports that the keyword with the highest cost per click is……………………

“DUI Phoenix Arizona” — with a high cost of $54.13

We’re not sure offhand why this is the case, or what the hell is going on in Phoenix. The next “DUI” keyword is ranked #9: “San Diego DUI Defense.” The #2 most-expensive word on the list is “loan consolidation student loans” at $53.88.

SpyFu is a great research site to keep in mind. By looking at statistics, you can often find the winning edge that you need.

Google is cutting about 200 employees in its second round of layoffs. “The latest layoffs are concentrated in the division that sells Google’s  advertising. In a blog posting, Google said it had hired too many employees doing the same jobs during its rapid expansion.”  This is about 1% of of Google’s 20,200 employees. This past year, Google earned $4.2 billlion on revenues of $22 billion.

Hey everyone: I’ve been asked to post about my experience with Clickbank and Commission Blueprint, although I don’t have a writer logon yet.  They just wanted me to write this asap:

I have two internet stores and a blog, slowly building my income — but that did me no good under the circumstances a while back.  My wife – and my bank account –said: “That’s all well-and-good baby, but we need money now.” The question was — and I know it’s a question many of you have  –is: HOW DO I MAKE THE MOST MONEY I CAN NOW, QUICKLY, AT THIS MOMENT?” Here is the answer I found:

Statistically, the highest single-transaction-way to make money is to be an affiliate on Clickbank (or CJ, but I’ll write about that later). On Clickbank you can get $20.00 commission on a single order. Some products offer $30.00 or more PER TRANSACTION. So, bottomline, the fastest way to maximize income online is to be an expert with Clickbank. AND the winners are the ones who have the edge — the knowledge of how to implement the most-profitable campaigns.

I found the best source for this edge: Commission Blueprint, it’s hands down the best.  I disagree with them about web page know-how – maybe later — there’s no time for that now. After you have learned the mastery of Commission Blueprint, you can go to places like  ipowerweb to create the sites/pages that you need (easy stuff). Also if you need a tutorial on Adwords here’s the  best book (a great Dummies book).  But for now check out Commission Blueprint and get started! It’s the fastest way to fill your bank account. (They talk about how they made $109,151 in 30 days days off just one Clickbank product.)

We know of a guy who found a product he absolutely KNEW would be a big seller, and all he had to do was use Adwords, he just KNEW it. He acquired the product, wrote a business plan, set up his company, and – then – he found out it was against Google’s policy to advertise the product.  Important to keep this in mind. Check out Google’s Content Policy.  Among the prohibited items: academic aids (i.e., test-taking services), aids to pass drug tests, fireworks, miracle cures, tobacco and cigarettes, traffic devices (i.e., radar jammers), and weapons. Some items have restrictions, such as prescription  drugs, alcohol, and gambling (prohibited outside of Great Britian, Italy, France, and Spain.)
Are there ways around it? Sure, SEO for one (see this post). You could also try some other search engines or content advertising services that cater to specific categories, i.e. adult. But you’ll likely find many of the same prohibitions.  As you can see,  most of the restrictions have to do with existing laws and regulations, and you would have problems promoting such an item anywhere. Bottomline, plan your campaign all the way through before you dive in prematurely.
