AuctionAds Rotating Keywords

by Jeremy Schoemaker on May 24, 2007 · 17 comments

over on the AuctionAds Blog there is a post with a tip with keywords. The just of it is you can easily rotate between your keywords just by using a semi colon.

Did you know that AuctionAds ad units can automatically rotate a group of keywords for you, so you don’t need to go through an ad serving system to rotate the keywords for your ad unit on a single page? All you need to do is chose your list of keywords and insert it into your keyword tag line within your AuctionAds javascript.

For example:

auctionads_ad_kw = “NHL hockey; playoffs; Stanley Cup; Anaheim Ducks; Ottawa Senators”;

This will tell AuctionAds to rotate the ads evenly, meaning on one page view will show auctions for “NHL hockey” while the next page view might show ads for “Anaheim Ducks”.

Is there a way to track which are converting best for said page? This would be something nice to see.

I have a joomla plugin which I had developed which allows you to dynamiclly inset the KW on aution ads based on the page loaded. I have not used it on a live site yet but I am looking forward to seeing the results

would love to see the ability for ads to target the title of posts/pages as the keywords…. I can do this with chitika and it rocks!

Is there anyway to use negative keywords to filter out items you don’t want to appear. For instance, I would like ipods to appear, but not ipod accessories.
Is there something like “ipod -accessories” I could use?

This is one of my main loves about AuctionAds. What I would love to see next is AuctionAds keyword tracking so that you could rotate a certain number of keywords and track which ones get the best CTR sort of A/B testing with keywords.
