Hey Jeff, cool content as usual.
tried out the “… sucks!” approach and instantly got that one shut down by Google as inappropriate.
So I guess you need to have a history of doing ads with them before they allow you to take the “…. sucks!” approach?
Cheers
PS: the whole open-X thing is only needed when doing ads on my own blogs, right? Or do you also use it for some kind of tracking when you’re sending traffic straight to an affiliate offer?

Google loves to not take our money 🙂
I definitely use it to track clicks to an affiliate offer.

No doubt that video is great and very informative. I always believe that I am a SEO expert, but after going through your video I discovered some tips that I have not tap.
Sure that stuff is great!
James says
You wouldn’t send traffic to those offers directly on the Google content network right?
And, would text looking ads like those get approved on the Google content network?
Jeff Johnson says
We don’t use them on google’s network personally, but I know people that do create image ads for google that are designed to look like text ads and they work well… I just don’t think they are this “chunky”.
