Learning iPhone App Developement for Free from stanford

Damian Montero — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 19:01:43 +0000

Now I’m not a big University guy. And although I was impressed than MIT and Berkley and Stanford put up their free classes online for you to see (and even made it very easy to download by putting them up on itunes) I was never going to use any of it other than to tell a couple of friends.Until I saw this: Stanford is giving away free iPhone App Developement classes (18 no less) taught by Apple employees. AND it’s idiot proof (at least it’s easy to download since it’s on itunes, and I can get it on my iphone touch easily to watch it while I drive at 90Mph in my convertible)So here you go, this is a direct link that should open up iTunes and put you RIGHT in the “Iphone Application Developement” section in itunes.

(if it DOESN’T work, just go to itunes.stanford.edu and under “Technology” look for “iphone Application Development” at the bottom)

The Syllabus is here where you can find out more info about each class and get all the matterial (in PDF format) :http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/index.php

a Quick Adwords Quality Score Tutorial

Damian Montero — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 17:30:28 +0000

Everyone always asks me how quality score is, so here’s a quick overview:You should followe these basic stucture of site for the landing page part of quality score:structure of site:landing page + privacy, terms of service, contact us pages.add wordpress blog but you don’t need to add any posts.important, interlink every page (footer links) + link blogroll back to landing pageok thats the infrastructure done. of course don’t forget relevency plays a role here so keywords on the pages guys and a title tags.the most important step, you must get a CTR above 10% on your first day running the ads. keyword history is important here so keywords cannot have been used before (i use a test account and transfer to my active account once i’m set/profitable). this will get you a 10/10 qs - bear in mind once your ctr drops below 10% your qs will drop incremently to match - so (and roughly) 7-10% = 9, 5-7% = 8 back down to 7 again but rarely if ever below 7 no matter what your future ctr.why is this?ok google gives you a 7 to start with on a new keyword. start a new account put a new campaign up and check the qs BEFORE the bot hits, you see its a 7. now as google stated in there latest video posted this week CTR is the most important factor and i believe his words were “we let millions and millions of our users vote for us..”. you could also see from the graph on the whiteboard behind him that ctr made up approx 66% of quality score. so now we know ctr is the most important factor and remembering google also factors in account history and more importantly historical keyword ctr, don’t fuck up your keywords testing. test in a seperate account and move over to the active account when you’re profitable and can afford to go in with the high bids. its the same principle as getting a good ratio on a private torrent site early instead of being a leech for months and then constantly fighting to get your ratio up. its a lot easier to keep a good ratio high if you start high.anyway this works for me. i’ve actually seen whole adgroups of 20+ keywords all hit 10/10 within hours and watch bids drop by over 50% doing this and in tough niches too. i’m not kidding when i say its usually more of a problem for me staying out of position one and hitting my chosen sweetspot then it is getting thereand by the way this works with new accounts too so if you fuck an account don’t be scared to start a new one just keep testing and active separate.

Adwords has been very very good to me.

Damian Montero — Tue, 27 May 2008 18:49:09 +0000

I am not a man that needs the latest and greatest…Well…not the latest and greatest car anyways. My laptop is a top of the line HP and my phone is an unlocked iphone, but until this weekend my ride of choice was my Kia Rio but I’ve always felt bad helping people spend monthly budgets equal to the cost of my car, so I was FORCED to get a new car (really…I was…)
Hey…If you’re being forced to get a new car, might as well choose one that looks great.
NOW let my customer’s try to spend THIS much a month!

It’s time to become an Adwords Certified Professional

Damian Montero — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 18:59:30 +0000

I’ve been a programmer and then SEO Consultant for a while now (Professionally for like 8 years now)

Well it’s time to move onto another segment of the industry. The Web Marketing Consultant.

I’m found that I had more than enough knowledge and connections to become a Google Adwords Certified Professional so I registered and I’m in the process of applying for the Test which will make it official.

I find marketing to be a very interesting field. And Online Advertising involves everything I know in the internet field with a personal love of mine, group psychology.

I’ve gotten sites on top of google for generic keywords that others are paying up to $3 for. And to the top of generic words like “who would” (try typing it on your URL bar)

I’ve also ran successful PPC Campaigns for Web Design customers where their click-rate is above 50% and their conversion rate is in the double digits.

So I’ve decided I’m going to be doing this for a living.
