We Are Up and Running


This is an exciting week.  We turned on our AdWords account and started getting results for our sites.  How exciting it is to see that people are actually finding our site with a google search, and some are even going to see what we have to offer.

Of course, now the real work begins.  We need to review the performance of our keywords and see which ones are generating hits on our site, and how much each hit is costing.  We can analyze our ads to see if we think they are directing people to our site.  This is fun and exciting, but also a little overwhelming.  As an Affiliate marketer there isn’t a real easy way to track conversions, or cost of conversions.  Fortunately, I can see some of this at the Amazon Affiliate site and make some assumptions.  The big key is to see which keywords are getting people to click to my site and see how long they are staying.  The longer they ae there, and the more pages they look at, the better chance I have of them seeing a product they are interested in and making a purchase.  I am very glad that we received an AdWords credit for doing this because my site isn’t primarily about generating income, but for sharing advice and my joy of family history.  I am hopeful that some of the links will interest people, and that they make a purchase, but that would be icing on the cake.  I am just excited to see that people are looking at the site and hopefully learning something.  I am anxious to move forward and see what other tools are out there to help improve my ads and keyword choices, and maybe even make a few dollars.  Have a great week, and if you have a chance drop on by and check out my site.  I will happily share the URL with anyone who is interested, and I look forward to seeing you all next week here on the ramble….
