In the last few days I have been trying to make some CB sales. I have sent hundreds of hops but no sales here are the stats for the last 2/3 days fatloss4idiots 1647 Hops 0 sales Truth about abs 790 hops 0 sales PHONESRCH 449 hops 0 sales STRIPFAT 396 hops 0 sales Just wondering what the hell I need to do to get some sales? I took Mike Gearys advice for truth about abs and set adwords to accelerated page views & all countries, it was like a funnel draining my money $30 in 10 mins. Any advice?
What kind of traffic are you targeting? What key words are you using? You need Highly targeted traffic. You have to be as specific as possible. Honestly I don't see how you haven't made a sale with that many hopes so it must be your keywords. Also You may want to try other products as well. Sometimes a sales page that is too flashy may not work on with the target market you are dealing with. Additionally it could be you're landing page. Also are you trying to target long tails or are you just going broad? For example lose weight (Broad) vs how to lose weight fast (long tail). I would like to maybe see if I could suggest any changes but you have to provide more information.
I would suggest it is the keywords. As an example, I have one affiliate who is sending guys to my site using the keyword "erectile dysfunction". This keywords has nothing to do with premature ejaculation!!!! photoads, share the keywords in one of your campaigns with us. I bet your keywords are wrong or too generic. Especially as you are burning money so quickly.
If you bid on "buy oranges", when you are selling shoes, you can get millions of hops, but no sales. Just by looking at your numbers above, it's difficult to tell what's the problem. Products are quality, but is your traffic?
Sorry guys for the delay server issues are theme for the last 20 hours. I pulled a lot of the keywords from keywordspy here are some of the most popular ones I have been getting clicks from. The domains are not in the list but I went broad for a while on six pack abs Truthaboutabs six pack abs 144 six pack exercises 126 six pack exercise 114 six pack workout 82 six pack abs workout 32 six pack 25 six pack dvd 20 six pack diet 18 six pack workout plan 18 http://www.myfit.ca 14 how to get a six pack 13 six pack stomach 10 get a six pack 10 six pack body 10 http://www.build-muscle-and-burn-fat.com 10 http://www.intense-workout.com 9 http://www.bodybuildingforyou.com 9 six pack ab 9 steps to get a six pack 8 I guess it is the keywords - Keywords spy must lie ;-0
I agree with the other posters - it's probably your keywords not being targeted enough. Fatloss4idiots is a great affiliate program - but remember who your customers are. People that want to burn fat but they want to do it easy and fast. A great way to find niches is to think about who will be buying this and target your keywords to the people that are tapping their credit cards on the computer screen ready to buy. I did this same affiliate program before the gravity became so high and I targeted my fatloss4idiots towards women that have just had babies and women that were getting married or attending high school reunions. The weight loss after the baby was a steady performer. Here's a sample list of keywords I used losing weight after the baby: lose baby weight to lose baby weight how to lose baby weight loss baby weight lose the baby weight lose weight after baby loose baby weight how to lose weight after baby lose baby weight fast lost baby weight loose weight after baby to lose baby weight fast lose weight after a baby way to lose baby weight ways to lose baby weight can t lose baby weight lose your baby weight lose weight after having a baby diet to lose baby weight help lose baby weight lose weight fast after baby lose baby weight quick exercise to lose baby weight cant lose baby weight diets to lose baby weight tips to lose baby weight trying to lose baby weight can t lose the baby weight can you lose baby weight fast weight loss after baby help you lose baby weight how long to lose the baby weight how to lose weight fast after baby lose baby weight diet quickest way to lose baby weight to lose baby weight quick ways to lose weight after baby I use phrase and exact to further weed out curiosity clicks and if you haven't already - be sure to add "-free" to your keyword list and weed out those folks looking for freebies. And that's my 2 cents
Thanks 3amart as you may have guessed PPC stuff is new to me - been running sites for years but need to stop relying on adsense.
Sales have been really slow these couple of days - across board. If before wednesday you managed to sell more, probably your slow sales are not because you are doing something wrong...but because of something else
Mine has been 0 across the board after 2 weeks of record sales. It's like 'someone' turned off the sales tap... My traffic has been consistent, so I know that's not the problem.
my sales have been slow the last couple of weeks after some incredible weeks too ... nevermind ... photoads firstly, agree with what everyone else has said here ... secondly, you need to monitor your campaigns closely! in my opinion, you should never get to 1600 + clicks with no sale ... Mike Geary's advice about accelerated page views is fine if you have $000's to burn, but i'm guessing you don't ... granted it's hard given no one has brought yet, but when they do, start removing the non-selling keywords ... also, go through your lists and focus on words that would lead people to buy ... good luck!
Mate that is appalling.. if you are relatively new then I would strongly reccommend starting with just one niche and split testing the ads which convert.. then broaden your efforts.. you should pretty much know after a 100 clicks if an ad & landing page combo is converting. My advice is dont pay to much credence to what the publishers say about getting sales.. I remember getting an email from Dr Jon and saying to go hard on broad match KW's for 'weight loss' which is insane considering the search volume and KW price.. so like I say just find your own methods and use your own judgement. As for keywordspy, its ok.. but its not that up date, my exp from it is its a few weeks behind..the way I use is to only find campaigns that have longevity.. simply clone it and improve. good luck, and kudos for still wanting to stick at it with such a bad ROI.
Whoever told you to go for 'weight loss' must have been crazy. Thats one of the most competitive and expensive keywords ever.
