Before Setting up your adwords campaign, you must know that affiliate marketers can easily lose money compared to the merchant who is selling his own products. If the affiliate commission is to low, it will be difficult to break even. Try to choose affiliate programs that pay more than $75 per sale.

Adwords is a tough game, and you need money to make money. What you want to do is to turn one dollar into two dollars.

In fact, “content network†is good for merchants since they get branding from their affiliates for their company and products. 4) Never target the first spot! .

Hmmmm. 1) The problem with high dollar commissions is how much do you spend before deciding it isn't profitable? If it pays $75, do you spend $50 or $75 or $100? Sometimes it might be your 101st dollar of spend that gets your first sale, and your 125th dollar of spend that gets your second sale, but if you quit at $100 you never found out that you can make $25 profit a week forever. Quitting early is even more likely to occur if you are paying above $1 per click. If you are spending $75 before quitting, that's an expensive way of finding out it isn't profitable. Something that pays $5 might only cost you $10 to learn the same thing. PLUS, there is much less competition for the products that pay less... 2) Programs that have recurring commissions will typically run at a loss initially, and you need faith that the recurring commissions will come. Most people quit promoting these programs too early, and miss out on really good incomes. I'm still earning $1K/mo. from something I stopped promoting 3 years ago 4) Sometimes the 1st spot can work out cheaper than any other spot, but it takes a very high CTR for that to be the case.
I like your comments .. 2) I also like recurring commission products as they convert less but give more return even with less sale. 3)I also don't like content neteork much as mostly there are fake clicks from adwords. 4) This is really a nice info.. and its new for me.. thanks for your posting.
