Am I Allowed To Email Advertisers And Ask How Much They Bid?

???????? THEY'RE FAIRLY NEW SITES IT LOOKS LIKE SO I THINK THEY MIGHT TELL ME, WHAT DO YOU THINK?

 

Why would you need to know this information?

 

RTFM

damn 10 character minimum

 

For reseach purposes.

 

It would be hard to enforce, but going to an advertiser and saying "hey, I see your adwords ads. How much are you bidding?" may cause the recipient to forward the email to google. Whereas google would say, does "xx@xx.com have an adsense account" - google goes click, not anymore.

Why risk it for easily obtainable information?

 

How do I obtain the information? And I would use a new email address not linked to adsense and email from an internet cafe or grab someone's wireless line to send the email.

 

You are answering your own questions. If YOU think its the right thing to do, why do you need to hide behind an alternate address?

Oh I dunno, open an adwords account? Its free. Or use overture's tool too

 

You can't find out how much a specific advertiser is bidding with adwords/overture tool....

 

You sound like a 10 yearold.

What kind of "research" are you talking about?

 

Trying to do smart pricing research, why would you say I sound like a 10 year old?

 

You're first post...

Use of question marks like that, typing in caps.

 

What's wrong with the question marks?????????? The caps, title automatically change to lower case I thought message is also.

 

Man, you really need to do as lorien suggest and RTFM. I've read a ton of threads you've started (kinda hard, since you've created over 37 threads in just 4 days!!!), and they've all been kind of pointless, sometimes asking really simple questions you could have answered yourself from giving the Adsense TOS a cursory glance. Frankly, I think you're creating all this thread just to get in on the rev sharing, which makes your threads doubly superfluous.

 

Well I think the most of the threads are not pointless, except maybe the smart pricing ones...and I don't participate in rev. sharing as it's minimal income. Actually I do want to know if putting my code here will get rid of the smart pricing or vice versa, can someone answer this?

 

You can, but I doubt they will tell you.

 

Just trying to do some research, if they contribute great, if not, I wouldn't lose sleep over it.

 

I am assuming you are looking for how much people pay for their adwords account for certain terms???

If so here is a site from google that will tell you that.

Great tool, I am actually trying to find out how much that particular advertiser is bidding. I don't think he'll tell me but can't hurt to try.

 

Why doesn't this guy have a red rep yet?
