I will say this is true if you want to make tons of money, however, you could make 2000 a month easily just by throwing something together. I can get a landing page up, all my keywords, buy a domain, everything in about 5 hours that would make 2000 a month, however, the problem is you spend a 1000 to make that, so like shoe said, it requires alot fo work to increase your ROI, but you can get started pretty quickly and pretty easily in my opinion, if you at least know the basics of ppc and affiliates that is.
I don't think he meant it was a problem. I think he just meant with a little more work you can easily do better than 2:1. 2:1 isn't bad at all though, especially if you're spending a lot.
2:1 is great. nothing to sneeze at! Scale that up and let's see if you can maintain those margins. The handful of people I know who are in the game would love to get 2:1 roi.
I lost my ass in February. Decided to try some inkjet offers... as mentioned earlier, they converted the first week and then it was an exercise in flushing my money down the toilet. First loss in over a year, although I have lots of data to work with to make the inkjet thing work... or continue losing my ass.
I couldn't agree with you more. ------ Tons of testing for me, lost money but made Azoogle a good chunk of change, haha. Now at least I can bounce back with the data I gathered.
I did pretty well in February. Started off pretty slow, but picked up at the end. Then I had some server troubles and had to move everything off of a server. That was like 2 days of downtime, and during the downtime I had tons of words be removed because of bad pages (yuk). If only Yahoo would make modifying keywords' dynamic urls easier and allow for more keywords than 50 at a time.
Hint, even though it says you can only do 50 at a time, try putting 500 hundred in there and see what happens
You're kidding me?!?!? heh Well, I gave you some rep. I'll have to check that the next time I'm adding more words. You don't happen to have a tip for updating dynamic URLs easily, do you?
No sorry, but for some reason lately instead of 50 I have been able to be adding 500 at a time, and I thought maybe it was just my account, but I told some other people about it and they have all been able to do it as well, so maybe yahoo is getting ready to announce an increase, I mean geez with adcenter you can import 10,000 at a time!!!
