A few questions about Google Adwords

[pokerforfree]

Hey,

I've just been reading Jeremy's article about Google Adsense. He's right, if you play it right you can make a couple of bucks.

When I first started my poker site about a month ago, I decided to go with Google Adwords, not aware that it's not allowed to put up banners relating to Internet gambling.

Ok, if that's their policy I am fine with it. Nevertheless I keep seeing adds showing up related to gambling, directing to websites with similar content as mine.

Has anyone of you ever put up a successful Google Adwords campain or should I just forget about it?

I know there are a couple of (to me unknown) search engines that allow adds for gambling. Do you recommend those search engines?

Thanks for the answers,

There are ways to still advertise on Google and Yahoo, but it is still very difficult.

PM me if you're interested and I'll let you know what's worked for me, but again it is difficult.

I too get pissed when I see ads that are blatently against googles TOS and there only response is they'll take care of them, but I still see the same ads that have been up for years, so the only excuse I can see is that these people pay upfront and pay Google a sh*t load of money to allow their ads.

Thought I would put my two cents in here... I handle all of the gambling and affiliate clients here at AdBrite. It's a great way to drive traffic on any budget.

AdBrite, The Internet's Ad Marketplace, is currently reaching over 62 million unique users a month (in the US) on over 17,000 sites. (ComScore July 2006)

We have many poker affiliate clients that are converting at very low CPAs. The nice thing about AdBrite is that there is no contract and no minimum spend, so you can create an account on our site and spend as little or as much as you want. We have network CPC ads, CPM, flat-rate and Active Interstitials (and banners within a couple months).

I'm happy to answer any questions or help set up an account. Feel free to call/write/IM me.

Chris.

I have an account. Can we get any special deals or discounts from your aquaintance? Other than that paying directly for gambling ads seems to work better than PPC....

Does anybody here use Adbrite? Any thoughts on this?
