I was a while ago browsing to purchase a blu-ray player and very nearly disappeared in the large amount of information presented on the world wide web that I had to digest regarding to blu-ray technology. I decided on the Oppo BDP-83 after spending quite a lot of time ploughing through a mountain of reviews of various players.

This Oppo universal player has been far and wide touted as a first-rate performer. The OPPO BDP-83 adheres to Profile 2.0 (BD-Live) specifications and provides excellent DVD upscaling using Anchor Bay VRS technology. On top of its ability to play Blu-ray discs, SACD/DVD-Audio playback and two USB ports for importing images, video, and music from flash drives, enhance audio/video flexibility. Improvements can be made via disc, USB flash drive, or directly from the Internet via its built-in Ethernet connection. Although it costs more than a lot of other players, the OPPO BDP-83 takes Blu-ray Disc Player performance and flexibility to the highest level.

I also checked out Oppo’s just one other competitor in the world, the Denon DVD-A1UDCI, that offers that offers the format flexibility that Oppo does and it costs a whopping 9 times more! In comparison, the Oppo BDP-83 set up a brand new standard in the form of value for money with the BDP-83. Oppo has also once again, achieved top honours in presenting a genuine reference-quality Blu-ray Disc Player with three significant factors working in its favor: it is versatile, quiet, and outstanding at displaying the aural and visual properties of the Blu-ray technology.

I was more than awed with the Oppo BDP-83 even with the imperfect verbose in the wake of its ‘universal’ playability claim and overall prowess with managing its very basic task as a Blu-ray player, easily deserving credit as a stellar piece of machinery in the realm of high-definition home video and an Oppo BDP-83 Youtube review further ascertains its impressiveness.

In short, OPPO has made a notable job with the BDP-83, a work of art that gives the high-definition goods to pleasing degrees.

What a time I’ve had lately it all began with a problem with my tap leaking well anyway I sought to get a localised plumber in the local phone directory – who would come out within a week no luck there In Any Case I determined to do a search on google for Emergency Plumbers Newcastle. Struck gold with that one there they where on-line .Anyhow I filled in the contact form and inside of about 15 minutes I had a phone call to set up an appointment .That’s what I call service.To cut a long story short they arrived the very day and where rather a bit cheaper than the firm who could not get to me for well-nigh a week.

Shortly after the initial problem was settled don’t I get a telephone call from a friend alleging someone has rammed into his car from behind and are denying any responsibleness. Not quite certain how that goes as they clearly rammed into his motorcar. Well hot on my winner with google and the phantom plumbers don’t I get online and go looking for a Newcastle Personal Injury Solicitor for him. Merely on the off chance that his insurance policy has some micro little clause about legal costs who knows?

On a happier note somebody I know has resolved to spend some of their redundancy on purchasing a sandwitch delivery business concern. Not really certain if they have done as much research as they should ahead of going for it .I have assured them that they require a Newcastle Chartered Accountant to look at the ledgers as these individuals know precisely what they are looking at. For the cost it may well save him thousands if the business is going to close or hopefully the accountant will turn around and say that it seems like a moneymaking business go for it.

So all in all the last few weeks have been quite eventful around here. Looking ahead to a few tranquil weeks now with no leaks or phone calls about car accidents.

If you run your AdWords PPC campaign properly you’ll know that some keywords generate highly profitable visitors to your website. You will also know that most keywords are just not profitable. Discovering which are good takes time and the process of uncovering the profitable niches keywords requires analysis, thought, testing and of course, measurement.

I run a campaign that uses just three keywords to generate a steady flow of cash into my bank. I advertise a specific service using these three keywords and earn a commission whenever I deliver a new customer to them. I don’t get involved in lead capture or anything like that for this campaign. I just drive targeted traffic to the service provider’s website via my affiliate link.

The same three keywords have been highly profitable for over 18 months and generally generate in commissions 3 to 4 times what I spend on clicks.

So would I be prepared to disclose these keywords to you? Only for a price.

These keywords are responsible for producing an automatic income stream for me and will probably continue to do so for years to come. They are obscure. They took a lot of research and ingenuity to find and I am now benefiting essentially from the intellectual property I have tied up in my AdWords account.

Many companies have a huge intellectual property investment in their Pay Per Click campaigns without realising it. So I thought it would be interesting to try and put some value on this just so that advertisers became more aware of the true value that a well-run campaign delivers.

I’ll keep the mathematics simple and so there is some inaccuracy in my calculations. The point is to demonstrate the principle rather than perform an accurate assessment, something which would require actuarial skills.

So here goes.

Suppose I spend $500 a month on a particular campaign and that it produces $1500 a month in income. My profit, which is automatically generated, is then $1000 a month or $12000 a year.

If this income stream was going to carry on for ever (which it won’t) then we could give it a capital value of the annual income divided by the current interest rates. If interest rates are 5%, then the capital value is $12000 divided by 0.05 = $240000. This is the amount of capital you would need to place on deposit with a safe institution to receive the equivalent annual income.

Realistically I know that my income from this campaign is much less secure than money in the bank but that doesn’t stop me making an estimate of its capital value.

Suppose I give my campaign a life-expectancy of just 2 more years. That is 24 months of $1000 a month profit or $24000. (I am not bothering to calculate the time value of money here which takes into account the fact that money now is worth more than money later. It is the magnitude I am after rather than precision.)

If these figures applied to my campaign, each keyword would be worth an average of $8000 to me. If the campaign had a life-expectancy of 3 years instead of 2, the value would be $12000 per keyword instead.

These are shockingly large figures.

So the questions you should take away from this article are:

1. Have you ever stopped to work out what some of your keywords are really worth to you?

2. Have you ever stopped to think carefully who you are disclosing your campaign details to when you ask someone else to manage your AdWords account for you?

As an AdWords Account Manager I look after my clients accounts as if they are assets of their businesses. My job in some respects is to grow the value of those assets as well as to deliver high ROI and profitability.
