It happened to me! excerpt from my blog. Making an Internet Marketer

"That day I opened my Google adwords account. I followed the instructions.

The next day I had traffic at my website.

I then went on to make every mistake I could with adwords, including irritating Google.

My favorite mistake (and worst) was when I made some changes to one of my campaigns that I thought would improve things and then forgot about it.

Well, I had a little typo in the url (oops!). For a month! I forgot to check back! I didn’t test the ad. After all it worked before.

I bought a thousand clicks and sent them to the 404 Forbidden Zone!"

I’ll see you on the road to success,

Money is easy to come by, but that doesn't mean you have to waste it. Glad you caught it and learned a lesson.

That's how you'll move on to bigger and better thing and money.

But you shouldn't take anything for granted and test your process before you go live.

Bet you won't do that again.
