Thanks for the update smile

I was just thinking about this thread the other day and was wondering how you were making out with it.

When you're spending $4.00+ a click you want to find out what conversions will be like before you go too crazy with it.

Basically we bought a small amount of traffic at Google and quite a bit of less expensive traffic at Yahoo and the advertiser is going to see how it converts.

I now have a program that can tell me what the top bid at Google is. Can't tell what the top 8 are but at least now I can see what the highest and lowest cost phrases are for that one position.

Rose,

I think you have some very interesting insight, but unless the game has changed, this business "logic" is not going to work for 99.9% of web based businesses.

Can you imagine going into Wallmart, and someone handing you over 4.00$ for walking into the store. A click for $4.20 ... jeez people, is money growing on trees in California?

Lets take a website that makes money from advertisement... like a few of mine. If I paid 4.20$ to Adwords >> you better believe you wont see anything like that in return from Adsense. Basically what I am saying is that the game ( from Googles perspective ) is a fixed one at that.

4.20$ IN >> adwords

.18 cents>> adsense

Googles profit for one click >> 4.02

But what is a click anyway? People spend their lives now a days clicking around. 10 clicks >> less than 2 minutes of work for 40$ ( of which Google pockets 80% atleast ) ... there is something wrong here.
