Bad Bad Month For Me in CB

Discussion in 'ClickBank' started by santhana, Sep 18, 2009.

  1. #1
    I send pure over 2000 clicks from Adword to my landing page. and it doesn't even convert to sale even 1.

    Traffics are targeted as it is only usa base only.

    stuff I promote:

    Tatto
    Music Beat
    Magic Trick

    , ect

    Anyone experience a good sale or bad sale with the product I am promoting?

    You should use the right keywords at adwords, it's the key for success to target right people to convert sales.

    I guess the key question is, how many of those 2000 clicks to your landing page clicked through your lander to the merchant's sale page?

    Oh, guy, it happens! Specially to me! When I was just starting I lost 1000's of dollars for this reason. But don't give up, you will succeed!

    Here are some tips that can be useful:

    1 - I have already tried one of your niches, Tattoos. You won't get to sell anything if you bid on keywords such as 'tattoo designs', 'tattoo galleries', etc... You need something more specific. What about 'star foot tattoos', 'best gangsta tattoos', etc... create specific landing pages for this kind of keywords and you will get much better results. (I have a tattoo website to sell, it has 2 pre-sell pages, several articles + a lot of other things... It also has a ready to use keyword research, aStore... I'll start an auction on Saturday or Sunday. If you want, I can PM you first so that you can bid on it).

    2 - Split test. Sometimes you can have 2 very similar landing pages, but only one of them will actually sell.

    3 - There are some products we simply can't sell. I know a great affiliate that can sell almost anything, but simply had no success with Panic Away, a product with a high gravity. Once, Steven Clayton said that couldn't sell a product that he knew that there were many affiliates selling! (CB's forum). So, as you can see, it's normal.

    4 - If you are just starting, try CPA offers. It's easier to get emails, sign ups or even convince people to get free trials than selling Clickbank products (my own experience).

    5 - Invest your money to learn. Commission Blueprint, Zero Friction Marketing, Clickbank Code... These are some good course that may help you to get started.

    6 - Stay away from tools like PPC Web Spy or PPC Bully. They can be interesting for experienced affiliates, but don't help the beginners. They will try to convince that their tools can make you 5k in your first month, but it's not true. An affiliate who earns 5k a month can use them to earn 10k, but a guy that's not earning a single buck can't use them to make 5k.

    7 - The most important tip... DON'T give up! I tried more than... I don't know... 30 sites?... before getting my first buck. It's not easy, or everubody would be an internet millionaire.

    I hope it helps you.



    Best wishes,
    William

    It can be many factors, but here are some main factors that might've caused this:

    - The products you promote don't convert too well
    - The traffic is not targeted
    - Your landing page is not good

    Probably you are using too broad keywords.Try to find more specific ones.Try to change your landing pages and try to promote more than one product in the same niche(May be the product is not converting itself).
    If none of these tactics work then try your hands in some other niches.

    Run the search query report and look at the search strings that people are using when they click on your ads. If you find a lot of the clicks are coming from for example "magic shops stores in New York" those people are not looking to buy your product online. They just want to find a local place that sales magic stuff. You may decide to not bid on the term "magic stores" or you could use a negative keyword like "new york"

    Several of the tips above are also worth checking out.

    Thank for the Tips and to everyone who reply too.
    I think the Landing Page Of The Vendor is Bad.

    For the Tattoo Thing, I targeted my Adword through Content Network. I got 1200 clicks to my landing page (85 dollars Spent), and generated over 40% to the vendor landing pages which are 433 Hops and Order impression page are only 17:confused:

    I am not really new to this PPC, I did study and buy some tutorials too like Com Blueprint, ect. But I think it is just not my type of product I should promote after a huge hop click and don't even convert 1 sale.

    Are you signing people up to your list or are you just sending them thru a link to the vendors page?

    Direct Link to Vendor page, I don't use Email List.
    Below is the Vendor Website I think this website lacks something. I don't know about some people else do it, but it just doesn't convert for me after over 400 hops and no conversion, I drop my campaign out

    The tattoo niche is hard. Its all about finding the right product. Things with very low gravity work well for me.

    I've found this month really good, the last couple have been average for me but I really noticed things picking up in the month of sept. Like chum said it depends on the niche, sales page, gravity, demand for the product. The key is choosing good products with low competition.

    How many different items are you promoting on one page? You need one item per page. Each keyword needs to be in its own adword group as well. Separate, separate and then delegate.
