Pubcenter ads – Do they make a difference?

well, i agree that pubcenter wants to be a strict competitor to the adsense network but have you seen the ads by pubcenter?Here is one of them:

 

This ad was spotted on hubpages and as you could see,it is possible to show a thick black border below the ads.But doesn’t that look strange?It even looks a bit unprofessional.Anyway,it is great to see that these pubcenter ads are different [in terms of looks] than the adsense or overture.Hope there are many more customizations like these that could be made by web masters.Going off the track and trying new ad looks is definitely going to help all publishers relying heavily on these sort of ad networks.

 

And do you think that the above pubcenter ads will perform insanely in terms of the CTR?I guess yes.Despite the terrible look of the ad,i am quite sure that the CTR will be a little high.

Thinking outside the adsense box – mailing to the LIST !

Gone are the days when most webmasters/businessmen were dependent too much on the ad networks.Now anyone can make money or develop an excellent online business with the help of a list.Once you get the list of potential consumers,you can contact them and get them onto your business.But you should also keep in mind that just mailing or calling them is not enough for developing the business and taking it to the next level.Apart from contacting them,you must strive hard to make your offer/product/service the best.If you are the best in your industry,these people in the list will grow your business through the “word of mouth” marketing.You will be amazed by the power of word of mouth marketing.Anyway,that is beyond the scope of this article.Now let me tell you where you can get a list of the potential consumers.

 

Where to get the list that would really convert well?

 

There are lot of web sites offering the details about the leads but remember that a lot of people in there might not convert for you if the list has already been sold to thousands of others.So just buying a list at the cheapest price is not going to do any good to you.You need to resort to the best solution and this is why the following web site is recommended for the telemarketing lists .

Apart from getting the telemarketing list ,you can also get the mortgage mailing list.Now this will be very helpful if you are a loan provider.There are lot more lists that can obtained through this web site and the entire collection of lists they offer are listed in detail in the above mentioned URL.

“One-sixth of the total traffic is completely new every given day” – says Google's Udi Manber

This is surely a jaw-dropping news from Udi Manber, Google’s vice-president of technology for core search.I was very amazed at him saying this statement:

If you look at all the unique queries we get in a particular day, about a third of them we’ve never seen before. One-third of them every day are unique. If you normalize for traffic in any random query … still about one-sixth of the total traffic is completely new every given day.

 

Forget the google adwords keyword tool.There is just so much potential which,unfortunately,nobody is using to its maximum.How is anyone going to use it?Still depending on the keywords tool data?People definitely need something else.

 

And here is the entire article on businessweek which is an interview with Udi Manber:
