Hard Lesson Learned the Hard Way

…And by hard way I mean taking it up the ass – HARD.

Set up a new PPC campaign last night, for something new and exciting.  It uses a more complex redirecting system so I can use the same domain yet handle redirecting traffic from different countries to their respective LP’s.  Tried everything out so on and so forth.

It worked the last I knew.  So I head out for some heavy drinking, because that’s how I roll.  I think I checked in on my stats when I got home several hours later, not that it would have done any good because I would have had no idea what was going on.

As me and my buddies call it I was: sch-wasted, or in the “bag”, or “bagged” up.  Bag refers to a local bar that we frequent, and it’s name is something you get in a bag when your working in a restaurant.  That seems kind of vague as well as it should be, however we frequently say “Hey we are going to the bag, you coming?”.  Or “Hey I’m at the bag, where are you?  Uh huh, well get your ass down here.”  Anyways….

So yeah got pretty bagged up, and had no idea anything was wrong.  So when I check my stats this morning I thought it was really weird I had no clicks through for the campaign.  So I pull up my account to find out I had already spent $107.60 already and going strong!

Let me tell you, you never seen someone re-code a script so fucking fast.  As it turns out, it looks like I accidentally overwrote it with another script I was working on at the same time – lame.

Remember kids, you can never test too much, or too frequently.  Also maybe don’t get all bagged up when you just started a new campaign, k?

Now, go make monies.

    $100 isn’t getting fucked hard. Now if you caught the clap while getting your bag on, you’d be all sorts of fucked.
