I am at an Internet Marketing conference in Las Vegas this week called http://www.PubCon.com.  I ended up misplacing my paper version of the schedule and I  was trying to find the online version of the conference agenda and I just googled “pubcon”.

The top listing is a paid Ad from a company called Teknicks and they were looking to expand their prospecting for their company. (I like this)

Typically I would admire this for not only as a way to build brand, but also engagement from their clients and prospects…and at 5 cents a click it is pretty cost effective.

Notice I said “typically” because this time they made a mistake…and it is a very common issue…

They ran an ad without testing the landing page, so their clicks are going to a broken landing page.

I just let them know on twitter…so hopefully they will fix it and get the ROI that they were expecting from this technique.  Good luck guys.

It is really important to recognize that even SEO / PPC professionals make mistakes, measure twice and cut once.

There are some changes to the 4HWW that will impact you.

One is that the location for the meetup has changed by popular demand to somewhere more central. The new address is
3934 Murphy Canyon Road Suite B-200 San Diego, CA 92123

We will NOT be having a meetup on the 9th because I will be at http://www.pubcon.com – The Internet Marketing conference in Las Vegas.
We will be having on on Wednesday the 16th at the new location.

Please watch the video for more info…

Thanks,

Brad
