I would love to hear some of your ideas for successfully marketing through google adwords.

What kind of success have you had?

What mistakes have you made?

What advice would you give a newbie?

What techniques have worked for you in improving CTR and conversion rates?

What's the purpose of life? (just seeing if your paying attention! haha):helpsmilie:

I tried adwords for about a year without any success.
1.Traffic is high cost, you need high voulme targeted traffic to make a profit
2.competition is high for popular terms time is high to find low competition low cost high traffic terms.
3. google disables your adds if they dont perform

If you have your own web page Look at other altenatives, like blogs, expired search engine traffic urls which already have traffic.

I make a nice income purchasing targeted expired search engine traffic an directing it to ebay pages. I also sell the same traffic. If interested visit Webtrafficsupply.com.

I just took a shower and two individuals who are successful using google adwords came to mind.
1.Rosalind Gardiner the supper affiliate handbook(ebook). Rosalind writes a column for revenue magazine. She uses google adwords and has lots of traffic strtegies and other great business sense and earns over half amillion a year.

2, is Jeremy Palmer a high performer in the Commission Junction network. He earned over a million from over 100 websites and he uses google adwords to test the many pages he develops. He was recently interviewed in revenue magazine latest or previous issue. revenuetoday.com

I think the biggest mistake most people make with Adwords is:

They get to attached to the product and continue to promote it even when it doesn't make money
They promote too many product at once
They get blinded when they start to make sales, yet fail to see if it's actually profitable

I've personally had success using Adwords to promote my own products. On a particular one, I had $2.00 in clicks converting to $21.50 in revenue. For a recent project I'm getting $5.00+ converting to $67 in revenue.

I've had success using it to promote affiliate programs in the past, but I've since dropped promoting affiliate programs due to increasng bid prices. I will only promote an affiliate program is I know it's profitable.

I've recently made a change to the URL which improved my CTR dramatically. I previously had

product.domain.com

and changed it to

domain.com (with the link going to product.domain.com)

Yeah Adwords can be a bit tricky...I have found myself to attached to a promotion (one I got my first sales on)...when it dies ...move on. Now I just promote a few items at a time. Seems to be working for me
