Google search by region
All the time running AdWords camapaign the most common step is to split it per particular region. There are several reasons but quite often it is simply limited by a merchant’s shipping coverage or different text in the ad is needed competing rivals at the same region.
The most obvious before blowing in cash is to check other ads bidding on the same keywords. However, Google by deafult shows only sponsored links tied to the region of your IP. Adding an extra input parameter with the region name to the google search string will fix the issue.
Let ’s say I am searching for “lenses review”. The google search will look as following :
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=lenses+reviews&aq=0&oq=lenses+review
By default it will show the AdWords targeted to Australia. To check US targeted ads I do following:
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=US&q=lenses+reviews&aq=0&oq=lenses+review
where gl=US simply indicates the desired location.
Here is a list of other countries that can be applied:
and so on .
Actually Google has another handy tool that allows narrowing down geotargeting displaying currently rotating AdWords per particular state or even city- https://adwords.google.com/select/AdTargetingPreviewTool

Top 13,5 Wordpress Plugins That I Use
OK. Long way back from plenty of reading that I came through on the weekend, now it’s time to spell out Wordpress plug-ins that I excessively use in blogs:
A brilliant must have one . It works pretty well being used on each post and for the whole site. Well, it’s hard to say how would it go without it, but who cares…simple the core one if you need the organic search. I does allow specifying the page apperance in google and has entry form for practically non limited number of keywords associated with the post.
Initially, I’ve made a mistake using WP default numeric permalinks that are uselles when you track back page analytics. Having referrals to these posts already at place the migration could be very troubled without this bolt-on. I just simply intalled it, named the old permalinks strusture in the plug-in settings as “/?p=#” andthen changed permalinks to the standard them to “/%postname%/”. Now analytics is totally readable plus old referrals are redirected to the correct page.
Once blog has a structure, it is handy to make the sitemap with certain rules. This one does it pretty well.
Well, not quite sure that this is in use. All in one SEO generally covers most seo needs. But some tags are keyworded as well.
Having many tags this addon makes a drop down list in the tag field. Very usefull for the comprehensive tag list.
Must have another one. Apart from the Google Analytics this one works online. The only concern of when it actually counts our own visits. This was manually excluded from google analytics script but the plug-in shows visitor results that are different from analytics.
It generaly make a descent graph of visitors, crawlers, rss reads, serach engain referrals, referalls from other sites, OSes and browsers and so on.
Twitter Tools
I gave this uplifting trend a go in my case and get quite satisfying results . The add-on allows to publish automatically new post announcements in the mapped twit account.
Fantastic tool that backups database automatically and even sends me the backup file via email.
A reader popped into some particular post could be interested to keep browsing the related materials on the site. The plug-in perfectly fits the purpose and generates a list of related posts at the end of the post. Very handy to my mind.
WYSWYG. Better than publishing direct email.
Every post can be printed out and this quite demanded for recipes for example. The tool does that pretty good.
Gonna be tested quite soon but seems to be all right if you need some kind of the donate button.
Makes caching of the blog appearance. So basically it serves the perfomance increase. The only drawback that I found is in having rotating images control where the first image being cached still shown all over the whole session. Not critical though.
Nice animated cloud… being off however. Simply it just undermines you tags seobility.
Well, folks and girls that is what I use so far. If you recommend some great ones being skipped, you comments are highly appreciated.

As deeper I go into the thesis theme as more astonished I am with it’s quality and features it has. SEOabiliy I cannot give the final score but to many things are already found via the organic search.
I guess this will be applied as a standard theme across all blogs that I have
Investigated through couple of most wealthiest schemes claimed I reckon 2 years later no one would even remember these. But I bet currently it performs pretty well.
I just recognised how much time do I need to get over everything that i want. I am loaded with these thoughts..
