I was wondering, with AdWords can we change the redirect after they have approved the ad ? This At e can use a dummy link to get approved, and change it with a redirection right after. I know fb monitors links in their ads, what about adwords did you try this?
Thanks for sharing and good luck mate!

I didn't try redirecting, but I did something else - I showed Google clean, nice landing page, and when they approved my ad, I simply changed the landing page on the server to a Black Hat one (even a generator without a prelander). It didn't toggle on any review on my account, so trying to redirect might have a similar effect. However, I am not an expert in redirecting, cloaking, and others like that. I have my own dirty tricks to mess up with the Google :D

Hello!

This is the report from my second full day with my Google Ads campaign (sorry for the double posting if that's an issue).

So, how did my campaign perform on the 23th of August (CEST)?


Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$53,47
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 317
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.12
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$39.30
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $42.00

Summary of the day: +$2.70

The second day - much better than the first! I've made some profit, of course it's all before tax so the revenue is smaller, but I am happy anyway. My CPC went a little up and honestly I am thinking about increasing it a little to see how will Google Ads react. Can't wait for the next day! :D

Haha this is sneaky :)
Good to know they don't monitor the landing page changes!
Thanks and congrats for your progress today

Thanks for explaining, I learn something every day :D I have almost no intel about cloaking so I didn't know that what I did was basically a non-automated, poor mans cloaking xD

Hello!

This is the report from my third full day with my Google Ads campaign.

So, how did my campaign perform on the 24th of August (CEST)?


Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$53,47
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 393
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.133
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$52.67
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $42.00

Summary of the day: -$10.67

The same amount earned, but I spent more on the campaign. Like I said yesterday, I increased CPC a little bit and as you can see, I've almost reached my daily budget limit. In fact, the campaign went slower in the last few hours due to this (that's why there were less views and clicks in these hours). I am keeping currect CPC as it is, I hope tomorrow I will have more leads on BMM.

Hello!

This is the report from my fourth full day with my Google Ads campaign.

So, how did my campaign perform on the 25th of August (CEST)?



Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$53,47
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 452
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.133
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$60.69
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $35.00

Summary of the day: -$25.69

The biggest loss of the day so far. As you can see, CPC remains the same as yesterday. The campaign spent almost $10 above the daily budget, which sometimes happens on Google Ads. They focus on ensuring that the average daily expenditure on a monthly basis does not exceed a certain set amount. I made some major changes in the night - I increased the daily budget and lowered the CPC. So far I see that today's results on the Google Ads are great!

I have tried that more than twice, use to work 2 years ago but now Google will stop your ads for malicious software and 50% of time ban domain and account after. You need a good cloaker and not a cheap one.

Hello!

This is the report from my fifth full day with my Google Ads campaign. Sorry for posting it so late today, had a busy day.

So, how did my campaign perform on the 26th of August (CEST)?



Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$106.96
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 1042
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.112
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$115.78
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $101.50

Summary of the day: -$14.28

What can I say. I hoped it would happen and it did - yesterday my campaign exploded in the night! I am so happy! My keywords finally got their quality scores - out of 57 total keywords, I have: 9 keywords 10/10, 43 keywords 9/10 and 5 keywords 8/10. So i am basically quite outmaching my competitors. Quality of the landing page, expected CTR and ad relevance - all above average! I did lose some money today but that's fine, because now I can go way down with my CPC. In fact, today during the night I had to lower it again, so today's average is 2 cents lower than yesterday's. And even after decreasing it I still paid google $10 more than my daily budget. What's more - today's numbers are much better than yesterday's! But the report on today will be posted tomorrow. Stay tuned!

Hello!

This is the report from my sixth full day with my Google Ads campaign.

So, how did my campaign perform on the 27th of August (CEST)?



Blue - clicks, red - views, yellow - average CPC, green - cost.

Daily budget on Google Ads: ~$106.96
Today's Clicks on Google Ads: 1559
Today's Average CPC on Google Ads: ~$0.096
Spent today on Google Ads: ~$148.12
Earned today on Blue Moon Media: $178.50

Summary of the day: +$30.38

I am speechless, to be honest. After just 6 days I managed to get more than 1500 clicks in one day. I didn't even dream about it, I thought that maybe after 2-3 weeks I'll get such numbers. But, of course, I am not complaining xD Again yesterday's average CPC was ~2 cents lower than the day before. I think I am in the point that I will see a profit every day because my CPC is lower than EPC I have on Blue Moon Media (of course multiplied by the click-through rate, which is ~80% - about 80% of people who clicked my Ads also clicked the offer). Google Ads again spent more than my daily budget, so I lowered CPC even more. Today I should see even bigger profit :)

Wow. This is an insightful journey. I've been running some similar campaigns since past week although in a different niche. But since past 2 days I noticed that my ads are getting 0 impressions. But Ads are approved, account is good, Budget is full, CPC is auto bid and still 0 impressions and 0 clicks. Have you ever faced such situation.

What do you see when you hover your mouse's cursor on the "accepted" state of your ads? Do you have the message like "we cannot determine why your ads are not showing up"? If yes, you have to wait couple of days. If you don't then you may have some review on your account or simple your bid isn't high enough (I recommend using manual CPC option). Did you warm up this account (have some dummy campaign that spent at least ~50$)? Did you make at least 1 payment to Google from this account? Btw thanks for good words! :D
