Blah, Blah, Blog

I really should be slapped. Seriously. Someone really should reach right through the blogosphere and slap me on the cheek for not writing up a proper review of AdSpy Tracker.

I’ve meant to, really I have.

It’s just that I’ve been really lazy busy lately.

I’m just ashamed happy that it took Kelly mentioning the topic on Moms Morning Show yesterday to refresh my memory.

So here’s a quickie review before I get to my DUH! moment.

AdSpy Tracker is a tool that you use to track your Google AdSense activity. You simply place the tracking code on your sites (and this wasn’t that difficult at all, the how to is VERY detailed and I only had to resort to ONE frantic instant message to Kelly McCausey who first told me about it to get it done, and then it was only a silly error on my part).

Then you log in to your AdSpy account and see what’s going on. AdSpy tells you all kinds of juicy and valuable information, such as:

• Exactly which keywords people are using to enter your site
• The actual Google ads people are clicking on
• The pages those ads are located on
• The ad formats that are getting the most clicks
• The Click Through Rates of your pages

Yesterday Kelly mentioned the fact that it’s difficult to tell WHICH ADS are making money on a particular site that’s earning income through AdSense. After using AdSpy she learned that it was ONE page on one of her sites that was earning the bulk of the money – so what do you think she did with that information?

She built more pages like that one to get more results!

When I first got AdSpy I let it cook for a couple of days then started looking at the stats. What I found was that one of my sites that did pretty well with AdSense was making most of its money from two or three pages.

So, I immediately spent about an hour tweaking those ad blocks to make them more irresistible to clicking, as well as building a few more incoming links to those pages. Here’s what happened.

That site now earns more every day than my entire network of sites did two months ago.

I’m pretty pleased with that, to say the least.

So. My advice to you, if you’re using Google AdSense, is to run not walk to this little website: AdSpy Tracker and pick up yourself a copy. This is a one time buy people. You don’t have to pay every month for it. It’s ONE. TIME. And you can use it on ALL your sites. Ok?

Ok. Here it is again: AdSpy Tracker.

Cause tracking is really important for us lazy busy internet marketers.
