So...

I get this idea. I take my old stuff off an old domain, refresh it with new positioning. I rock a quick site up. I use a new method of connecting with visitors.

Phase one is good -- but I can't get opt-ins for the life of me. But the Ads are doing well. Time on site is 4.5 minutes. average of two clicks per customer. Good start, but not working for me.

Then I add a little something to my opt-in page.

Finally get opt-ins -- but not good enough yet.

I get mad and on a fluke move my opt-in page off a secondary page and on to main landpage.

Weirdly, no one opt-in on the land page, but they DO start opting in on secondary page.

I'm getting 20% opt-in off adwords. Time on site goes up to people spending 10 plus minutes there. Even ad cost are dropping. Prospects like it. Google likes it.

Woot -- Victory.

I see on GetClicky I get a direct visitor from india at 3am this morning. Weird, I'm not advertising in India. They type domain in directly...

The dude/duddette spends about 20 minutes on site looking at everything. Even stuff that isn't public. The site isn't finished, I was just getting and idea up and going.

Minutes after the Indian leaves my quality score drops to 2 from a 7 and Google stops showing it!

Arrrrrrrrr...

So, the help.

After I build out the site some more, is it best to just turn the campaign back on and run it a while till they come inspect it again... or should I create a new ad-group or a new campaign and start it up again... Or is that Domain now HOSED with Google permanently?
