    I warn you this is not a a standard case study!
    It's so funny :D you gonna love this.

    I got an offer from CrispAds to promote a diet pill (Hoodia) in France.
    To tell you the truth, beside the fact that I was in Paris with my wife (a decade ago),I really don’t understand any French at all…

    But, this looked like an interesting challenge and I was happy to make a case study out of it.

    So, I got their website (attached):
    http://www.hoodiaregime.com/hoodiagratuit/int/

    I entered the above web site to Google Keyword tool:
    https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
    and asked for French keywords in France.
    I also checked for keywords about Hoodia.
    Last but not least, I made sure that there is traffic for Hoodia.

    Now, I took all those keywords (about 300) and put them into a new PPC Bully project in France.

    I let PPC Bully run for 3 weeks and searched if there are any affiliates doing direct linking to this offer.

    PPC Bully doesn’t identify CrispAd affiliate network.
    But, (TIP) I searched using the search feature according to the URL pattern:
    http://www.inteletrack.com/XXXXYYYYYZZZZZ
    I searched for any Destination URL containing the string “inteletrack”
    And guess what, I found an affiliate doing this.
    In fact, there were 2 ads running during the whole 3 weeks.

    So, now all I had to do is to launch a campaign in my AdWords account.
    While I know the Keywords, Ad (2 ads) and Direct linking to that offer…

    These are the ads:
    Hoodia 100% Pure
    Obtenez Votre Echantillon Gratuit
    De Hoodia - Frais de Ports à 1.95€
    www.HoodiaRegime.com

    and

    Hoodia 100% Pure
    Hoodia Coupe Faim 100% Naturel E
    chatillon Gratuit - Ports à 1.95€
    www.HoodiaRegime.com

    Now, Just to make sure I’m not writing something completely stupid :confused:
    I used Google Translator and translated the ads and they looks like this:
    Get Your Free Sample
    Hoodia - shipping cost at € 1.95

    That’s make a good sense….:)
    That’s it !

    I was Surprised from the Results :eek:-
    200% ROI and start selling from day one!

    Now, if I take it further from here:
    I can create new landing page and put 2 different Hoodia offers with this type of leads.
    So I actually can increase my ROI (on the same click cost)

    I Love PPC!!!
    This kind of examples reminds me what a great field we are in
    Cheers, Emil
