Actively Create New Campaigns !

Admitting your own mistakes is not fun. But self critisism will help you achieve new levels of success. So as an affiliate marketeer THIS IS A MUST!

For one of our own social networking sites, we used to do quite some spending on Yahoo! but after about six months our Account Manager switched companies and Yahoo! didn’t really care about our accounts. So we simply stopped spending with them..

Without officially putting it on my to do list, I always wanted to get back in the game with Yahoo SM sometime in the future. Some time went by and I already had lost familiarness with their interface.

A couple of weeks ago I had to help a friend out with creating his Yahoo campaign, and I took some time to go over the interface and I realized that it actually worked quite effective. It wasn’t their interface that scared me off, it was my own lack of comfort for something I didn’t know.

I made a mental note: to create at least ONE NEW CAMPAIGN EVERY WEEK. It’s important to be familiar with the PPC interfaces of all Search Engines. PPC Dashboards have to be your Oyster and the thing you feel most comfortable around on the web.

So ask yourself these questions:

-Do you know EXACTLY how to move adgroups from one campaign to another ?
-Do you know how to change Geotargeting for all your campaigns at once ?
-Do you know how to work with Demographic targeting ?
-Do you know how to correctly ad Negative keywords ?

These are just a few questions to ask yourself, but ofcourse you can make this list as long as you want.

Bottom line: Spend MORE time in your PPC Accounts and LESS time reading Blogs.
