    Hello,

    I started using adwords 1 yr back. All that I have done is lose money in that. I tried to promote advertisers from CJ.com and clickbank but never got a conversion.


    Now I think that I should read some eBook or do something of that sort to improve my knowledge.

    Suggest something,

    Thanks in advance!

    Ebooks won't help. Just keep testing and you will eventually hit on something that works.

    If you have been doing it for a year, it's time to reconsider your stratgey as you are clearly doing something very wrong in all your tests. Every merchant makes a bit of money on networks. Perhaps stop using Cj and clickbank, (both horrible networks imho) and look at other networks you can promote. There are hundreds of options and don't limit yourself geographically.

    I'm in the same boat.. The "sinking and loosing money" boat..
    I have one page with an affiliate that pays about $80 per conversion. In the last 30 days i've had 4 conversions with regualar organic traffic, so i figured if i bring in some targeted traffic, i'd get rich...
    Well..
    I put together my 2nd campaign (i tried it about 10 months ago, but gave up) and set my daily budget at $80.. I figured all i need is ONE conversion and i'd break even..
    Day 1) i messed up.. keywords were too broad - clicks were untargeted.. $80 down the toilet
    Day 2) Everything looks right... got a lot of clicks.. but 0 conversions.. $80 down the toilet..

    I guess i'll try it for another day or two - but it's painful !
