If you don’t believe that using that button from Google Checkout gives you a higher CTR and an advantage over your competition give me a call I’ve got some beach front property in Vegas I’d like to sell you :-)

Haha. When I saw that title in my feed reader I thought either Gray Wolf dun flipped his lid or he figured something out that will blow my mind and change what I think about that button. Guess not!

Everyone with Google check out integrated is going to be loving that new $5 thingy.

We are thinking of implementing Google Checkout. need to convince a few people first though! :) Any number on how much it would increase in average?

That seemed like a rather pointless post…..

@T_Media:

oh I’m sorry perhaps you would prefer yet another banal pointless post making an analogy comparing social media to Manhattan clam chowder telling you how it will solve all the worlds problems and we’ll have care free afternoons filled with peace love and unicorns instead … I’ll get right to work on it Boss

No I don’t want another pointless social media post. Neither do I want the post you’ve just written.

If you haven’t got good content don’t post it at all. And seriously, you have to admit this post was a bit of a con, you’ve gone and baited your readers with “Using Google Checkout Buttons Doesn’t Increase Adwords CTR” and then basically said “lol, only kidding, I was just trolling you, google checkout buttons do increase CTR”

It’s like you were just trying to increase traffic and thats all :/

When we are talking about competition, you are the first on google for words “seo blog”. Congratulation!

Clam Chowder? For crying out loud, Mike, you live in NY! Get yourself some quality pizza!

On a more useful note, the image or whatever is supposed to be displaying isn’t working on my FF3 install (windows xp machine).

if they add google checkout to adwords ads you will have a huge ctr so you will need to move to checkout to have higher conversions

Some people leaving comments take themselves way too seriously. Go update your wikipedia page on the mating habits of migratory fowl.
