How many leads should i get per day for ringtones?

    What should I expect? I bid around 33 to 48 cents and have roughly 45,000 keywords in my ringtones campaign. What is a reasonable expectation for daily leads? Also, i'm getting an average of 90 yahoo clicks/day and about 70 azoogle clicks...i spend 18 dollars a day on yahoo and my revenue is 32 bucks a day.
    the last time i raised my bids (to 65) i lost and lost, day after day until i deleted my whole campaign, got a new landing page, changed my url and recreated the campaign.:cool:

    I know, but still! I'll tell you the truth. I'm getting about 5,000 leads/day and making at least 65,000 dollars a day. I just wanted to see if anyone could guess. Oh well, i'm going to spend today trying to improve this.

    sounds fishy.... that means your making $13 a tone... and if you were getting 5000 leads a day then you would be getting a higher payout than that... i call bullshit

    you guys are right. i was being funny. i'm getting 2 leads a day (on average...my best is 6 in one day and i have done that twice), and averaging a profit of $3.87 a day for the past month since I started. i'm not trying to be funny now, but i wish i were.

    The ringtone industry is slowly leveling out. You can still make decent money with it. I got in early last year and did 50-75 leads per day for 6 months or so. It was nice. Now, using the same keywords and bids, I will only get about 10-15, which is about what I am spending in PPC. So it's not worth it anymore.

    Azoogleads usually converts the best, but it is best to search around. I have found gems at smaller networks.

    Uh, no you are not. If you were even doing 100 leads a day you would be going direct to the merchants and not using Azoogle.

    The same can be done (50-75), it just takes a lot more work than before (it seems). I wouldn't really know how it was before though, I got into ringtones only about 3 months ago.

    It was nice before. I didn't have the money to really let my ppc run. I would have to pause it everyday because I didn't have 3 or 4 hundred to spend per day. I would have gotten over 100 leads per day if I had that kind of money and didn't have to wait for the payout from the affiliate company.

    I wish I got into ringtones back before you had to confirm the PIN and before Yahoo changed Overture, back when you could see the top bids on keywords :(

    God, people must have been KILLING IT before you had to confirm the PIN number.

    Well I'm the only one who directly answered his question. I figured, like every other time someone asks a question like this, people would leave paragraph long "I don't know's" along the lines of-

    Well I don't know how good your landing page is and I haven't seen your ad copy and it really depends on all the factors, etc. etc.

    Ok, this is my last effort in this thread: my bids are in the neighborhood of .33 to .40. I'm amazed, truly amazed at the inconsistencies i have seen over the past month since i began my campaign. I mean, I got 2 leads today in azoogle, 66 clicks (azoogle) and i'm over 160 clicks on yahoo.........i can't stand it, i can't talk about it anymore. I just don't get how you can convert (get leads at a given rate) well one day and not the next. I would think, statistically, you would see conversions at the same rate every day. Bahhhh. Oh, someone asked about my face. that's what i look like all day checking stats.

    well it's hard to get specific results for such low volume... now if you were getting 3000 clicks and 300 leads a day then one day you get only 12 leads THAT is a problem. but dealing with such low volume it is hard to get continuous results.
