hi there,
as you can see I'm still only a student. I've made use of the school holiday to learn all about adsense, adwords, ebay and ezine advertising. I hope to get everything to go auto-pilot before my holiday ends : / I've read a few ebooks, eg Google Cash, the Rich Jerk and even bought books like Multiple Income Streams from the local bookstore. I've sign up for a few opt in list to learn all abt it. I'm really into it and had invested over 100 buck alr.
I just got my debit card last friday and fire up my first few campaign. I'm really worried. Having look thru the posts in this forum, everyone seem to be making money at least to recover the cost of PPC advertising with affiliate commission, however it has being already the third day, and I still don't get any sales. And on top of it, I launched 16 ads, 9 on a single affiliate program, others are just some of those programs from clickbank that I have interest in.
Here is how I do my keyword research. I enter a keyword related to the affiliate I'm advertising into Overture Keyword Selector Tool and obtain a number of keywords that has high search volume (around 50+ keywords) and further remove keywords that don't fit the category. I copies them into a software call Rapid Keyword and generate typos and mis-spelling... Oftenly I can generated close to 2000 keywords. Then I punch in my bids which is oftenly $0.17 per click.
I've waited for a while now, I got about 75 clicks for now and they cost me $7.82 and I still didn't get any order. Page Impression is 74 000++ ,so CTR rate is abt 0.10% The reason for a low CTR is because my ads is written in a way that filters away ppl who juz wan to get free stuff. It states words like Buy the whatever product here, then some nice thing abt the product.
I really hope you ppl can help me. Give me some advice, suggestion, what when wrong or better still if there is anyone who is really pro around here and have extra time to spare. Email me campaigns that really converts. Be it 1-2 sales a day. I don't care really that much now. I just want to recover the cost (few hundred bucks now).
Thanks
