Pay per Click (PPC) advertising is probably the fastest growing area of online advertising.

According to some benchmarks, companies are expected to spend over $8 Billion on PPC over the year 2008.

The Pay per Click advertising market has been growing steadily over the last years, and the average cost per click is increasing at a, sometimes, astonishing rate, reaching levels over 25% per year.

With all this in mind it’s important to have both affordable and professional PPC Management companies running your campaigns and providing you with quality services.

In 2008 it’s expected that these specialized companies can take over the majority of the market, providing state of the art services instead of random campaigns that most of the time spend more on these than what’s expected to be the invoice of the PPC Management companies overall, and worst than that, getting little or null results.

Check the market around for these and find how to better manage your adwords budget, instead of spoiling it into the air.

We’ll keep you informed…

Due to more internet marketing online, almost every type of advertising is getting popular. There is still a lot of adwords advertising happening. Then there is the contemporary email advertising. Thinking about budget hosting is significant too. All of this leads to effective internet network marketing.

Another week as passed, and what a week!

The adStrategist Network is living some weird days as traffic from Google Images is rocketing, and I mean it.

Did you ever check your logs for Google (Images) as a main source of traffic? Well, I knew that every now and then this would happen with some sites, but what I didn’t know is that it could happen with 4 or 5 sites at once and more, multiplying the traffic by 5!

The image above shows the traffic details for one of those sites (URL undisclaimed…). You’ll be able to notice that after November the 3rd my traffic got a steady increase that is still lasting. A few images that I have posted at my sites got very high ranks at Google images search engine and I’m getting huge traffic from it.

Ok, but what are my conclusions to this? Would this be a result of the new Google Image Labeler program?

Here’s what I think and have to suggest to you:

• People love images. A site without any images is sad and poor.
• Search engines love images. Sooner or later you’ll get noticed and competition there is much lower.
• Always name your images properly, forget about rgsa66s5.jpg, as this is completly useless. Name your images the best you can, avoid spaces in the name, use “-” between words.
• Describe your images if you’re using wordpress or any other CMS that allows it.
• Watch your server logs closely and learn from it. Where is the traffic come from? Where is it heading to?

Bare in mind that this type of traffic converts poorly, so if you expect a large increase in your ads revenue just forget about it. You may double or so, but not much more.

I’ll keep you informed when this traffic jump ends (I hope it never ends. )

One day I had to start this, so today is the day…

It’s been quite a while now since I’ve first started this online adventure, and these days I’ve been thinking that I should really start putting online my business logs, so here it goes…

First of all, who’s the adStrategist?

Well, the adStrategist is a 32 or 33 year old (can’t remember now) portuguese IT project manager that one day decided to start this onlone adventure. It all started with a small blogspot blog and today he’s managing over 80 live sites and 150 domains.

What’s with this business?

It’s not hard to find out what’s with this business… money, of course! Yes, you read well, I’m in this for the money, but who isn’t? You’re not? Then you’re a liar, get out of here!

What am I going to do around here from today?

I’ll try to teach you something, I’ll try to tell you what my business is, how it works, how I develop it, etc, etc…

What I won’t teach you is “How to get rich with adsense in 48 hours?” There are enough liars out there, so you’d better trust me. You won’t get rich with adsense in 48 hours!

I’ll be updating this quite regularly, trying to tell you what I’ve been doing online, what sites do I have, buy or sell, what business do I own, how do I profit from this and so on.

From now I just go playing around a little bit with a few of my Vehicles websites…

Oh! And happy halloween!

I believe everyone around there has already heard about Pagerank, well, these last few days Google started updating it and everyone started screaming about it.

Well, I won’t get much into this right now, as I’ve just wanted to move your heads towards a very funny thing…

YouTube is now a Pagerank 3!!!

Come Google people… admit you have messed this time.
