What I’ve Been Doing
First of all I want to apologize for having disappeared for nearly 2 months. Here’s an update of what I’ve been doing while I was M.I.A.:
1)As I’ve told you in my last email, google had starting banning some of my adwords accounts, probably due to the fact that I was using frame redirects which was against their TOS.
2)In hopes that they would stop banning my remaining accounts, I spent two days to research good landing page practices, and created a landing page that I hoped would convert well.
3)Approximately a week later, google banned all of my remaining adwords accounts, probably because I had already been blacklisted and they did not bother to re-assess my remaining accounts for compliance.
4)The good news is that during that week of experimentation with my new landing page, I found that I got considerably higher sales conversions for all three campaigns I included in my experiment, as compared to using frame redirects. For one of the campaigns my conversion rate increased by more than 200%!
5)I spent the next few days brooding over my lost income stream, and trying to decide what I should do next.
6)I finally decided I wanted to try building white-hat niche sites and monetizing natural search engine results for a change (I had only tried black-hat adsense sites and PPC traffic before this point.)
7)Over the next three weeks I drafted a system for building niche sites quickly (well…relatively speaking) and efficiently, and completed my first niche site. I have yet to promote it though.
8)I also decided to finish my 10K/Month Clickbank ebook because 1) I’ve promised you kind folks I’d finish it, and 2) it would make me feel better knowing I’m helping other people to succeed with this method, since I already lost my adwords accounts - at least the method wouldn’t go to waste.
9)The ebook is now finished - all 100+ pages of it. The last sections took a long time and many revisions but it is now ready for first release. I’ll be sending out the download link either today or tomorrow.
I will now run off to write all of you an email…

Hello, Amy!
I’m so glad to hear from you. It sounds like your hard work and perseverance are starting to pay off! I’m sorry to hear about your Adsense account. Is there some way to get it reinstated or maybe even just create a whole new account?
You’ve been working hard on the new ebook. I’m thrilled to hear it’s all done. Really looking forward to implementing your strategies.
My family has been following the tragedy in China closely. Such devastation. Amy, I’d just like to take a minute to tell you that I’m a true believer in the power of karma, and I think you are putting out some serious positive energy that’ll come back to you many times over. Thank you for adding some positive energy to the world!

Hi Amy,
You sure using frame redirects is against Google’s TOS?
Coz the previous couple of campaigns I ran were all pure frame redirects and I didn’t get slap by Google.
I was even told by a Google rep via the live chat support that Google’s okay with frame redirects
Reply by Amy - Hey j! That’s odd, but google’s known for giving out conflicting information depending on who you talk to. I haven’t confirmed that the reason they banned me was because of frame redirects. I talked to several of their reps via chat and they all gave me the run-around, i.e. “we’ll forward your problem to technical support and they’ll get back to you” but they never did. From what I’ve been reading about adwords bans, they often don’t even tell you why they banned you. Now that the ebook is done, when I find the time I might just call them up and talk to someone directly, but I doubt they’ll give me a second chance.

Hi Amy,
It has been a while and I am glad to hear from you.
It sounds like you are finally rolling on the take-off pad ready to launch into the cyberspace. I know you can always make your way through obstacle and diversity in life. Keep up the good work. I can just see the word “billionaire” attached to your name card.
It was devastated to see and hear about the Sichuan’s earthquake. It does make us rethink about life and appreciate everthing and everyone around us. My best wishes and prayers to everyone in China.
Keep in touch.
Murphy

Hi Amy,
Glad you are back.
No harm in contacting google and asking for reinstatement.
Nothing beats adwords.
Looking foward to your ebook.
Cheers !

Amy,
Can’t thank you enough for finally completing your ebook and sending out the d/l link! Can’t wait to get home later today and start reading it!
As for “Karma”, I truly believe in it after seeing it work its magic a few years ago….(Personal Story)…..and from all your hard work and dedication, I’m certain you’ll be repaid in many different ways for all that you’ve provided so far.
Thanks again!
Ray

Thanks for all your comments - don’t worry about me. I’ll hang in there, establish another income stream, and then share THAT with all of you too. Hanging in there…
