I’m bidding up to .35 on a keyword in the loan industry and only had 16000 impressions with 1 click.

What should I do?

Check your date range in the Adwords options.

each group has about 10-20 keywords.

Great tips!

Last week the Google Adwords team visited my office to have a meeting with us, and they recommended the same stuff as well (well, there were more details, but overall it’s the same)! =)

Cheers!

Thanks for the interesting post.
Would you recommend using the content network even in retails or just on leads and information products/software?

I use a CPC min bid at a dirt cheap price, and can usually get 100 or so new list members on a daily basis.

Works great!

I then use the search (keyword) marketing for specific pages. But majority of my members come from content networks.

Its a goldmine.

@ Andrew: Amit and I do PPC a little differently in the beginning phases. What I like to do is run a ton of offers and see what works, then I work at which perform or come close. So I don’t focus heavily on 2-3 super huge campaigns, but look for reasonable margins across a decent amount. I believe Amit likes to focus heavily on a small amount of campaigns, then master the heck out of it in mass volume. I think both ways work great.

In my Super Affiliate’s Guide to PPC marketing, I recommended using the content network because it makes it a lot easier for the rookie advertisers to get going. There is no need for a landing page and if you hit the niches right, you can get quick volume and at lower rates than regular Google Search.

My research shows that when you have content network enabled, your ads show up on the zillions of parked domains (or domain for sale).

Is that the primary source of your traffic ?

More importantly, is that the traffic that converts ?

Thanks.
