‘Comedy’ Keyword Test

Spent 6 days with keywords related to comedy:

boston comedy festival, British comedy, Chicago, comedy center, comedy central, comedy club, comedy connection, comedy Facebook, comedy movies, comedy shows, comedycom, nyc, onion news network, online, sketch comedy, stand up, stand up cancer, stand up comedy, stand up records or youtube

Before doing specialized searches, I used comedy related tags. It seemed like a good idea, but the results always sucked. Let’s peep the results this time:

campaign cost: $60
- 73 ad clicks
- 1 new vimeo connection
- 37 vimeo views
- 25 views of the trailer
- 0 new Facebook group subscribers
- 0 new mailing list subscribers

Pretty poor.

Let’s see how I do with ‘Inventions’ keywords. I know that I’ve never marketed to this type of crowd before, and I’m interested to see how I do in a non-media related target search.

I’ll be starting that campaign soon. On we go!

Interview: Poor Choices Podcast



I was recently interviewed by Matt Owens and Mark Colomb on their Poor Choices show. It was a not poor choice!

We talked about:
- Donating plasma as a job
- my sketch group Teenager of the Year
- Traverse City and Jeff Garlin
- being a Chicago comedian
- and more!

Listen to it by clicking this very sentence!
