Hi, I was wondering - does AdWords allow ClickBank a landing pages? Can I drive Google traffic to them? Have you tried? Thanks in advance
You don't sound so sure... Don't think it does, know that it does. That means knowing and understanding the rules and guidelines in the first place. Based on my experience, most CB products don't. Also, the landing page must remain compliant. Is there a chance it may not in the future?
I read the guidelines and it seems like I comply. It doesn't say anything in particular to driving traffic to pages where I am directly selling my product. So I'm unsure... I am asking here, because I have a coupon and I'm unsure whether I could waste it or use it. It's at risk...
Yes Google allows them! I am running an adwords campaign now for my CB product. Just make sure the display url matches the landing page url. Some companies do not want you using their url in the display and that is when you have problems but that is more for linkshare affiliate products. Clickbank vendors just want sales!
it does work .. before giving a try take a closer look at the website landing page. from what i have seen most of them have exit popups or false claims or sound too good to be true. these kinda sites wont get accepted, rest should go fine. be careful if you are on limited budget. your 100$ willl last just like anything in few clicks without any sales... let's do a math here - your country would be US or so , your CPC would be 3$ at least, For 100 clicks you will spend 300$ and with a typical convert rate of 2-3% on clickbank (Being a clickbank affiliate i know how it is.) you make 3 sale. That makes it 3*20 = 60$ in your commission. that makes it overall 240$ loss per 100 clicks. profitable ? Good luck You can make more commission by promoting better priced products but that would make you CPC more and convert rate less making it almost same thing as above. Tip : Get a review of that product on your own domain and then advertise it. The convert rate will be much much more than direct linking. The current product I have running on adwords (From clickbank) costs 3.6$ on Avg per click with a 18% convert rate from my review page giving me 21$ per sale. Still at this much rate the margins are very low and i always wishes for some upsells. Upsells are the only thing making me keep running it with a high risk of lossing money anytime. Do some maths and then decide before you invest your time..direct linking have a very very low convert rate. #warning
If that was the way all the time, no one would ever advertise. If they didn't make money, why would everyone just be kind and give Google money through Adwords? Of course people advertise and make money through Adwords hence Adwords is so successful.
First off not all keywords have a CPC of $3. If you do your keyword research carefully and partake in the content network you can drive down costs. Closely related keywords will convert the best. Over time you will be able to modify your campaign to also decrease the cost for conversion. You absolutely can make a profit with adwords promoting affiliate products... it isn't as easy as it was 8 years ago though.
