Guelph is the city where my brother-in-law (his name is Waseem) attends university. It is
about 1.5 hours south-west of Toronto.
* V( ?- L+ Q( U  k9 ^# ~7 `; GThe whole idea was to have my brother-in-law stay with me during the summer and see
that if he could replicate any of my successes.
/ ~8 L- x& _+ tThe college degree that he is completing is in human resources management and he may
have taken only one marketing course in his college life.
  `/ J  |" t* EHe had absolutely no prior Internet marketing experience.
+ a  O: H+ z7 J- ~Zip. Zada. Ziltch.
All he knew was that I was making large amounts of money every day.
( X6 _0 O6 L' T3 zIt wasn』t after months when I started talking to him about pay per click did he realize
what I was doing.
Based on what he heard in the past, he thought I was in the 「paper clip」 industry.
No bro, it is 「pay per click.」
/ c. |- `% t. bI cut him a deal and said that I would teach him all my methods and see if I could get him
to make money.
Not only could I prove to myself that this stuff is teachable and write an entire course on
it, I figured I could get an awesome testimonial from my brother-in-law if I ever did
% G' Q! {" f; vrelease a course.
So he came to my house in mid-May 2006. I was to be his mentor and he was to be the
, F9 C7 O: V. v* ~apprentice.
Basically, I was Yoda and he was Luke Skywalker as he kept insisting.
  z9 }$ F, T. Y' `! g: gI made a phone call to one of my favorite affiliate managers and had him approved for
9 \9 |  ?4 s# Q: l) E/ W7 tPrimary Ads CPA network in about 24 hours.
1 z% ?8 u) H2 U  k5 {) dI have a white board in my office, so I sat him down and started from scratch.
  |  H$ u" Y+ Z7 j  tI explained to him:
1. What CPA lead offer was.
8 f, s" M" V& J- o2. What a CPA Network was
: }4 w$ Q8 u3 A3. What a pay per click search engine was.
23
I drew out on the white board the concept of driving paid targeted traffic to CPA lead
offers and making money.
We converted half of the my baby son』s room into a small office so my brother-in-law
could work from there on a separate computer.
/ d( ?7 ?9 w- J( J" t7 cI told him to open up an Google Adwords account and pick an offer from Primary Ads to
+ p* e$ F/ F5 V. ppromote.
1 [+ n& o( [5 R7 x' }3 DThe guy is a fanatic about cars (especially luxury cars) so he picked out a car quote lead
offer that was paying about $6.25 a lead.
2 o# o! z  P+ y9 N" E' }$ JI told him the basics of doing keyword research and setting up a Google ad.
9 g; S- Y/ h) t  M+ uHe used a software tool called Key××d ××te by Brad Callen to research his keywords
5 [( i7 L& o3 B# _  K5 |and went about setting up ad groups.
I told him to keep the keywords within each group very specific and targeted towards the
theme of the ad group.
For example, and Honda related keywords should be in a Honda ad group so that we
8 A9 `! ]8 y8 ecould write a targeted ad for prospects looking for Honda quotes.
He then set about creating his ads and ad groups quietly while I worked in my office.
Big mistake.
I had basically thrown him into a lake without giving him enough swimming lessons.
He started getting clicks coming on his ads, but NO conversions.
5 G) n8 Z6 K9 X# F" Q+ R; bMore clicks kept coming, but NO conversions.
$ @7 l7 p: L( g5 j- K! uI started thinking to myself, okay well this is a crap offer.
** Note **
In my experience, around 7 out of 10 campaigns you start will either breakeven or not be
profitable at all. No big deal. Mo need to cry over spilled milk. Just move on to another.
) {3 _5 [# W! `5 Z) T' C** End of Note **
4 v$ W/ E  D9 {3 r, r- n) p- uThen I realized a couple of things. I logged into Primary ads and discovered that the car
0 D  x2 x7 G& g+ {quote offer lead stats were not real time and that we would have to wait until the next day
& `. g1 S. f$ w! Tfor those leads to be imported into the network stats.
24
Okay I said, that is one reason why we are not seeing anything.
Then I logged into his Google Adwords account and was stunned at how badly written
his ads were.
( M( i7 `7 h* e) f1 _/ ~2 \Dude, you need Copywriting 101.
$ `+ V9 D; F3 v. |0 C2 [His click-thru rates were not very good, so I told him to rewrite his ads from his
prospect』s point of view and try to make it more benefit oriented.
/ P- ~- K: I( R  o7 e! s3 S3 \At the same time, I told him to start other easier campaigns such as the ones that only ask
$ x3 {- q) H5 }0 s. U2 l: i. |for a zip code or email address.
+ r% w; r3 V0 `+ k6 VHere is where things got really screwed up.
4 _$ l7 z9 m* W6 g! y9 K0 YWhenever he set up another ad group, Google would charge outrageous minimum bid
4 O, [1 {# z3 @' q2 Mprices. For a particular CPA lead offer he wanted to promote at a $1.25 payout, Google
6 u3 [* R0 t% U* t* p9 kwanted a $1.00 minimum bid on most keywords.
Ummmm, how the heck he supposed to make money promoting a $1.25 lead offer while
paying $1.00 per click. He would have to have close to a 100% conversion rate to make
3 r2 t& b1 X3 o) @' w/ c; p- @any decent money.
Why, oh why, are you doing this Google?!
Then it hit me… 「Quality Score.」
You see, Waseem』s overall 「quality score」 was low because of that stupid 「car quote」
campaign and because Google looks at your historical account click-thru rate, they were
' P8 x/ }* `: s! Q% Ueffectively punishing Waseem for his initial ad campaign.
Google basis the quality score of any keyword you bid on based on these factors:
# p& q  r- H0 P; k1. Click-thru Rate (CTR)
1 w! a' S* ~% u  O' ?& x' R0 W, ?2. Ad Text

when determining bid prices.
7 o. y' Q2 e1 @. E9 e* pSo now Yoda is getting pissed and Skywalker is getting frustrated.
$ @2 i* |0 W5 O9 U, T25
& p9 a- [5 s- g8 Z6 gSo at this point… I cheated and told him to get out of the room and put my son to sleep in
the other room while I worked on his campaign.
! O; M& p- J% Y; S3 l% mSo I am staring at the computer screen trying to figure out how I am going to make it
8 Z& z* J9 V9 h! P6 W- }work with Google Adwords now that my brother-in-law has a bad historical record.
Google is basically going to punish him for anything new he sets up, so now what?
" W( A  k. F; }" I* GI had the option of just starting an entirely new Google Adwords account to get a fresh

; k$ C- k6 V7 e7 }** Note **
+ N# l" c- v/ JIf your Google Adwords account has a bad history of low click-thru rates and crappy ads,
, O' g, p, P3 A4 ^" H! `you may want open a new account and start fresh.
7 ~! e1 Z; b( ?" @) p** End of Note **
I didn』t want to start a new account and based on my experience, I knew of a way around
this problem.
: W0 B: v" v) x/ ~( O3 s. y! s/ }But it would *cost* my brother-in-law money.
I decided to place the minimum bid at $1.00 for the $1.25 lead offer and let the campaign
6 Z* [* i* Q8 v2 V2 {: Srun, but only AFTER I wrote the ads for him hoping that Google would reward this
account if I wrote ads that were very keyword *specific* and had a good click-thru rate.
So, boom! I let it run knowing that every click was costing my 「college-broke」 brotherin-
6 F# o2 m4 v) U( u3 klaw a full dollar.
On May 18th, 2006, Waseem generated his first (2) leads at $1.25 a piece for a total of
$2.50 in affiliate commissions.
But it took him (6) clicks to generate those leads for a total cost of $1.00 x 6 = $6.00.
Ouch! He lost $3.50.
But a 33% click to lead conversion. Now that is great!
3 ?# _0 R* H5 GSo I tell him to keep running the campaign at a loss and he is looking at me with this
serious 「I am a college student, $3.50 is a huge amount of money to me」 look.
Trust me, I say.
The next day, four clicks and zero leads.
( h9 `1 n( F1 s" i0 FNot good.
4 v7 q: U* N. A7 W26
But wait, the click-thru rate on the ad is over 10% for the last two days. Are the Google
3 t- P' r) H! L+ rGods watching?
Not bad ad writing Gauher, pat yourself on the back.
! T7 }! k, U' i4 C3 M2 `7 BBut Waseem is still looking at me with that 「$4 is almost a full lunch at McDonald』s」
look.
Hang in bro.
& J: g4 [/ |: [$ I+ p; IThe next day I figured Google must be loving me for my great click-thru rate and I
