Adwords+Clickbank, is it profitable?

Discussion in 'Google AdWords' started by rongshihong, Feb 22, 2005.

    Hi, I am just wondering if anyone ever had experience with promoting clickbank's product with adwords.

    Will it be profitable with the right marketing strategy and optimization of the campaign?

    If so, how should I start?
    Need your suggestions.
    Thank you.

    You're a happy guy aren't you...

    Have you actually ever tried an affiliate scheme?

    If you have, it says a whole lot about you're knowledge of aff marketing and SEO.

    I would be happier if google would just approve my payment.


    But...99 percent of affiliate marketers fail. I havn't tried it, but from what I read the success rate is very low. Affiliate marketing takes alot of savvy, and alot of patience. The ebooks like "How I mad3 $$43555 off adwords in one month !!!111!1" are msleading.

    I have to agree with him.

    I sent almost $1000 down the drain promoting every kind of clickbank product I could find.

    Don't waste your time

    The real money to be made with clickbank is to be a advertiser, not a publisher. Write a ebook, set price to be $50-$100. Invest $50 to be listed on clickbank. All you can lose is $50 and some time.

    Um...people aren't going to spend 50-100 bucks on an ebokk unless it is truly unique or revolutionary. MOst people can just buy the same ebook at amazon.com or something for much less. ANd you would have to find other people to promote your product.

    Profit

    But I stopped using adwords and I dont get near click bank. I have been trying flyer advertising around colleges to promote one of my websites with very good reuslts. BW flyers are dirt cheap produce and I hire someone to distribute them in bay area colleges. I get 4x sales form flyers than with adwords. And at 1/3 the cost. Overture is better than adwords since you have more control over where your ad goes, but it can get pricy. However, the conversion and ROI is better.

    I disagree.

    Both ROI and conversion are by far better in AdWords.

    And you can have even more control over where your ad goes by using AdWords than by using Overture.

    But you are right at one thing... Overture IS pricy.

    There are some super affiliates who earn with clickbank combined google adwords. That is why there are called SUPER AFFILIATES.

    It is very diffult to make a profit.

    Let's say you are lucky and you get decent clicks at 20 cents.
    You have a landing page that converts 30% and the sale page converts 1%.

    How many clicks will you need to make one sale?
    Well, the answer is... 334 clicks... $66.80!

    So if you want to make a profit you'd better be very very good at:

    - getting clicks at less than 20 cents
    - getting a better landing page conversion

    Not an easy task for a newbie...
    But as you know, "experience is the best teacher"

    So here are two tips I found in a free report from A. Mehta:

    1. Launch at least five-10 PPC campaigns a month consistently and LEARN from the ones that fail as well as the ones that succeed.

    2. If you spend $100 on an affiliate offer and it’s not near breakeven, then PAUSE IT AND MOVE ON.

    Good luck :)

    There are cheaper ways to advertise than adwords although they may take more time.
    1) Free classifieds
    2) Free banner exchanges like http://www.freebannerexchange.co.uk
    3) The old favourites - write articles and blogs.

    Hello,

    If you want to try adwords with clickbank, You will need a good knowledge of ppc otherwise you might loose your money. If you are a newbie, I would suggest you to keep a distance from ppc with clickbank.

    You can still use other free methods to promote clickbank products and earn some money, meanwhile you will also learn a lot of PPC tricks from fellow members.

    My only suggestion would be, don't put your money in ppc, unless you know how to do keyword research and opt a great product to promote from clickbank marketplace.

    Just check out clickbank section and learn from experienced marketers.
