Dear Fellow Google Slap Sufferer:

Does this story sound familiar?

Imagine You spend hours researching markets and niches to find the golden nuggets that are the raw material of your online income. Just then - you see it. Your mind fills with wonder. A gleaming pile of treasure lays before you in the form of a largely untapped, hungry market.

You spend another hour on detailed market analysis gauging supply and demand, checking out the competition, comparing payouts on different products and services to promote, looking for that magic combination of product and market.

Now its time to really get to work.

Out come the tools, and you start digging list upon list of potential riches flash before your eyes, nearly a blur with the speed of the latest and greatest keyword research tools.

You clean your list, pruning it down to the choicest of phrases, practicing modern digital alchemy. Transforming words to pure gold.

And its on to building the campaigns. Youve even got tools for that, and you can crank out a 1,000 word, tightly-grouped campaign in less time than it takes to say Show me the money!

Your heart races and your palms sweat, you know this campaign is going to be a killer couple hundred bucks a day easy on complete auto pilot. You just have to get it live and flowing NOW.

Whipping out your favorite landing page template, you change out the graphics and tweak the ad copy with some brilliant hypnotic copywriting (cuase, you know, you read the book!), insert your tracking code, and FTP everything up to your server.

At long last you upload the campaign to your Adwords account, and let the traffic begin.
