Best of the Month: WordStream's February Highlights

Best of the Month: WordStream's February Highlights [1]

By Elisa Gabbert [2] Posted In: WordStream [3] Comments: 0 [4]

Mini TreeFebruary may be a short month, but that doesn't mean we were short on kick-ass blog posts! (Ugh.)

Here they are, our top 10 page-view-grabbing-est posts for the month, every bit as awesome as they were the first time (except maybe for the first one):

  1. Unsurprisingly, our most popular post this month was Larry’s AdWords promotional code [6] share. You cheapskates! ;) (Sadly the codes have all been used and are no longer valid.)
  2. Larry did a quick analysis of Google’s big JC Penney bust [7].
  3. Tom wrote up a dead simple Google AdWords certification guide [8] covering costs, the different types of certification, study tips and more.
  4. Google accused Bing of copying its search results [9] after cooking up an elaborate and nerdy “sting” – Larry asks the burning question, Who cares?
  5. Chad Summerhill explained how using symbols in PPC [10] can boost conversions by up to 89%!
  6. Guest blogger A.D. Srikanth explains how to use a couple of free tools to create a visualization of your site’s link flow [11].
  7. Tom outlined how to use Google’s Insights for Search [12] to fight a bad case of blogger’s block.
  8. Erin Everhart practices the Golden Rule (“Be nice to bloggers and they’ll be nice to you”) in this post on launching a blogger outreach campaign [13].
  9. Tom analyzed AdWords’ new Optimize for Conversions setting [14] and points out some scenarios in which it wouldn’t be your best bet.
  10. A quick update on Google’s new “Personal Blocklist [15]” feature.
