Generating income from adwords with no website just clickbank?

    Is it possible to use adwords with no website and make money through clickbank? I'm in the military and I'm very limited in ways that I can generate passive income. I'm not very good at writting articles or blogs. is it possible to make at least 20.00 / day profit using just adwords and good clickbank product?

    Help is greatly appreciated!

    Most affiliated nws would not allow deep linking of their products and usages of their brand name in display url .so you find a great difficult to promote it .

    Yes, it's possible. Not easy but possible. In fact, there was a book years ago on doing just that called Google Cash (or something like that). I never read it and it's probably way out of date.

    Don't forget there's not only Clickbank products but also lots of other affiliate marketing networks out there. One problem with direct linking ads to a CB page is that many (most?) don't follow Adwords guidelines and can get your account suspended or even banned if you insist on breaking the rules. So get very familiar with these guidelines and choose products that follow them. Don't forget about other PPC services too. There's more than just Adwords.

    you can create a free webhosting site, link the adwords to that and make a redirect to your affiliate link

    Do you know people that have been successful and made decent profit going this route?
    If I go this route I'll be investing in my own domain and hosting.

    In my opinion, it's almost impossible to make money by directly linking from Adwords to Clickbank affiliate products.

    It was hard 6 years ago when I was doing it. Now, it's almost impossible because Google gives you a terrible quality score just for being an affiliate. I think it's fair to say that Google has turned against affiliates.

    I think you'd be better off starting a website about something you really know about and reviewing relevant affiliate products on there.

    You probably don't want to hear it, but in my opinion the truth is that it's going to take a lot of hard work or a lot of luck to get to $20 per day. It's not easy, but it's certainly possible (just not with clickbank direct linking ;)).

    You mean direct linking. Absolutely not! Google will ban you for life. You have to use a landing page with TOS and privacy policy. Also
    you have to say on your landing page (in clear English) that you are likely to receive affiliate compensation upon your purchase.

    There's plenty of products on Clickbank which you can direct link to so that shouldn't be much of an issue. And if at anytime you're uncertain whether you can or cannot direct link to a merchant's landing page just contact him via his contact page which can be found on his product's webpage or maybe use the affiliate section if there is one.

    I dont think its much more good way of marketing right now as most of campaigns like these doest even approve by adword now point is how to do it the most simple way is to make sure you have a website so affiliate network works for you.

    It is difficult to direct link CB products on Adwords. You are more likely to get a life ban.

    However, it is still possible to direct link non-CB products on Adwords. Make sure you read Adwords' TOS on the type of offers they do not like.

    As a rule of thumb, check if there are any similar competitors doing direct linking for the same offer on Google. If there are, then you should be quite safe.

    I mean if it differs between niches etc, how can you be sure if it´s allowed at all or not? I wouldn't risk to get banned for that...

    Create a free blogspot blog , write a product review , make sure your page follows adwords TOS , use it as a landing page !

    Alternately you can also use twitter to tweet your affiliate links , though its best to create a blog of your own , its not that costly ..... Every aspect of blogging can be outsourced and after the blog is set , you don't have to incur any extra costs . Just sit back and enjoy passive income !

    It's very difficult now to do direct linking in Google, even MSN. Google will ban you from doing this while MSN will not send any traffic to it.

    You know, the math is very simple. There is only one unknown variable and that is the conversion rate.

    If the conversion rate is 10% and you get a $10 commission on a referred sale, you make $100 for every 100 visitors (10 sales x $10) you send to the affiliate. Your break-even point is therefore $1 per click ($100/100 clicks). Any CPC below that and you make a profit. If you want to make more profit, set your CPC below that. Just decide how much you allocate to PPC. If you want to make 50% of your spend, you can't have a CPC higher than $0.50.

    It doesn't matter if it's Adwords, Facebook or any other paid advertising, the math is the same. All you need to figure out is the conversion rate. If an affiliate seems to have a poor sales message, the conversion is likely low, maybe in the 1-2% range. Rare will be those in the 10% range unless they are unique and people really want/need the product. You need to properly target as well with your ads and keywords.
