Fun with Google Adwords

I recently got a $100 gift card for Google Adwords to advertise my freelance business. Adwords works by charging a variable dollar amount per word or phrase, based on popularity. So if I want to buy the phrase “web development,” which is likely quite popular, I’m going to pay a lot of money for each click. If I buy “purple monkey blender,” however, it’s going to be quite cheap.

So I put it to you guys: what key words or phrases should I buy? I am completely open to the idea of buying nothing but joke words and phrases. I might do a few serious ones.

I don’t understand… how are the words you buy used? You appear only alongside certain search terms?

Oh… put me down for “lonely taint puncture”.

Right, so like, I bought “John Hutchinson” so if you search for that, I might show up on the Sponsored Links on the side or on the Google Ads on this page if my full name is used.

I was going to suggest McSweeney’s Plagiarism as well.

Also, Evan’s less popular tag: Purple Monkey Blender.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
