Copywriting

Website Copywriting A good copywriter knows which words trigger the feelings that compel people to make decisions. They write with flair, making it easy for people to be drawn into what they are saying about your business, services or products - see professional copywriting, and an example of good copywriting for a Mercedes Dealer, or not-so-good copy for a Used Mercedes dealer.

Are you worried about "click fraud"? If not, you should be! Even the most innocent of actions could entice Google™ to terminate your account.

Imagine this scenario:
Someone (unknown to you) is looking for timber flooring. They visit your website where you have some information about this subject, as well as some Google Adsense ads. They don't see what they want on your page, but they see some very interesting ads. So they click the first one. Nope, nothing there. Back to your page to click another interesting ad. Let's say they click several ads in a very short space of time and do not stay at the destination website very long at all. This may be enough to flag the actions as suspicious, or even fraudulent - unbeknown to the innocent "clicker", as well as you.

Scenario two:
Your competitor doesn't like you so they click ad after ad after ad. Besides telling you what sort of person they are, this can get you banned as well.

Fear not - help is here in the guise of a very simple to install and use program.

I urge everyone who has any Google Adsense™ ads to install AdLogger. It's free, very easy to setup and use, and very, very effective. It will tell you from what IP addresses your clicks come from, what pages the ads appear on, what the destination address is, and, the most important feature, enable you to block certain IP addresses or even ranges. You can even use it to block yourself to prevent "accidental" clicks.

You can download AdLogger from here, or if you need to have it installed and setup, please ask us about pricing (the software is distributed for free under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE, however we bill you only for time we spend setting it up for you).
