I was cleaning my hard drive and noticed a text file which I created in November when I was trading JBX. I kept this conversation between me and the TOS customer support representative. It was a very interesting trading day because what happened was this: I had a $1.20 trailing on JBX and I know the trailing stop of $1.20 was still very far away, but my JBX option was sold as soon as the market opened. Feeling somewhat irritated, I contacted my broker through live support with an intention to rant because I didn’t think I could get back my stock option… but it turned out I could. =)

So the moral of the story is: When you think it’s not possible, RANT!

The following is my conversation with TOS support:
——————–

kms: answer for request: I had my option on a trailing stop loss, and it was sold as soon as the market opened

<< session started with support >>

kms: please try a regular STOP if you can

kms: sorry for the trouble

you: okay, I got it… thanks very much for your help

I’m baaccckkk!!! My doubled capital is back, thanks to SCSS which gapped down and gave me a 191% return on the trade alone! 6 trades and only 2 lost this time.

I’m kicking myself for selling ASH on the same day at 10% profit, what’s worse was that it wasn’t an exit signal according to the rules. If I had held on, it’d have given me an almost 100% return like TXT did. Check out the charts of ASH and note the candles from 1st till 14th November 2006. Sigh.

Balance after exit trades made in November: $4,913.52 (+41.84%). Click “read more” to see my trades.

I added my sites to google and yahoo sitemap today, hopefully that’ll increase my traffic. Some people says submitting their sitemaps causes them to have poorer rankings, others say otherwise. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Today when I wanted to check my site statistics, my browser showed me this page:

Eh?

After contacting my host, they told me it’s because I have used more than 5% of their CPU resources. Ouch, I immediately know what caused it. It’s my experimental blog… “Headlines of the Rich” (Read Post).

The site is powered by a script called RSS to blog, it automatically looks for news that relates to the keywords that you key in and posts the relevant article on the blog. The blog started in June and gets an average of 30 visitors a month. From June until now, it made me a total of 6 clicks amounting to $1.03. I did no promotion/link exchange whatsoever so that goes to show you that blogging and pinging alone does not make you lots of money lol. Since the blog adds no value whatsoever, I’m taking it down.

Well, I had fun… bye bye rich people.

Phooey.. 1 win and 3 streak losses. I wonder what I’m doing wrong… December’s getting close and I really want to achieve my $10k dream. :’(

Balance after exit trades made in October: $3,464.17 (-17.71%). Click “read more” to see my trades.

There has been a recent explosion in abuse of AdWords, Google’s PPC (pay per click) advertising platform. It is apparent that the techniques do not follow Google’s own clear guidelines. Unfortunately, users and legitimate advertisers pay the price, while Google and the unscrupulous advertisers profit.

Google has always put its users first and one would hope that they will continue to abide by their charter.The aim of this video is to urge them to do something about these issues sooner rather than later.

My funds ($100 + $5 free) on my PPC campaign finally finished and I only ended up with 3 sales (commission $125) which gave me a $25 profit. I think that’s a very good start because I’m not making a loss. I’m going to try another campaign but this time targetting only US and Canada instead of worldwide traffic.

So here are the final results:

My own site:-
Total clicks: 192
Total spent: $11.86
Sales: 0
Loss: -$11.86

Merchant’s site:-
Total clicks: 1,428
Total spent: $93.14
Sales: 3
Profit: $125
Conversion rate: 3/1428 x 100 = 0.2%
expenses to commission ratio: $1: $1.25

If you are interested in making some money online without the hassle of creating a website, then I recommend my pharmaceutical merchant. They provide affiliates professional site templates that has a good reputation of converting visitors to customers.

I’ve forgotten how many days have past since I started that pharmaceutical site. Anyway, I set up an account at GoClick yesterday and had an advertisement up and running for my pharmacy site. I took the opportunity to offer a “weekend special” discount to the visitors who came through the ad and changed my website template to include an announcement about that offer (e.g. “Save $20 on your purchases! Type in coupon code: XXXXX after checkout”).

While setting my site to go in line with the ads, I was pretty skeptical of my site. I wasn’t sure whether it’ll convert my visitors to customers well enough. So on day 2 (about 50 clicks on my site later), I set up another website – this time using my merchant’s default templates and without discounts. I had increased the prices on my own site and the prices are lower (default price) at my merchant’s default templates. My site will have the same price as the merchant’s after the discount.

So here are the results:

My own site:-
Total clicks: 192
Total spent: $11.86
Sales: 0
Loss: -$11.86

Merchant’s site:-
Total clicks: 138
Total spent: $9.09
Sales: 2
Profit: $74.91

The only keyword that converted the sales was “viagra”. I had bids on other keywords such as “buy viagra”, “buy generic viagra”, etc. I thought these specific keywords would convert better because I read somewhere that the specific ones give targetted visitors on google adwords, it probably works differently on a smaller PPC network like GoClick.com.

Unfortunately, I was right to doubt about my own website. After running through my statistics, most of the visitors who came to my site only visited the page I was advertising (It means they entered and left at the same page). Whereas the visitors to my merchant’s site, they didn’t just exit as soon as they visited. They’d at least click around the site e.g. FAQ, policy page, tracking page, etc. I guess it pays to have a good designer lol. I find PPC a great tool to test your website’s appeal factor and it has given me clues of what to improve on my site and since this PPC campaign was a success, I’m going to expand into other keywords for my other products such as cialis, levitra, accutane, lipitor etc.
