    Hi,

    Can anyone share your experience on how much money to spend in PPC (Adwords) with Clickbank before start earning money?

    I am not talking about using other methods but purely from PCC. I am a newbie in PPC and Affiliate Marketing (Clickbank). Would like to know so that I can allocate my "tuition" fee while twisting and learn the right way.

    Regards,
    Stephen

    If you're new, I wouldn't recommend anything over $10 a day and .15 cents per click maxed. Once you test and prove at least 3 campaigns that convert, you should then allocate as much as you realisticaly can. PPC is hard to maintain a steady income with, it flexes a lot, some days are horrible, sometimes competitors or farms just eat your click, some days are awesome too though... Having at least 3 proven campaigns overlapping is a great starting point for PPC new comers (in fact, that's a lot for a new comer so if you can accomplish this chances are you are no longer a new comer).

    Best of luck to you, pick products that are proven sellers or brand new to market without tons of affiliates. Once you have the learning curve down pat you can apply your effective techniques to the bigger products with more competition.

    I've bought two $50 AdWords account just for this. Now I can test which Affiliates convert without worrying about how much I spend. I've been paying $1~ for each click for 4 campaigns so far.

    Also, I have noticed that when one campaign is going, none of the others get impressions. Is this correct?

    $1 per click for any ClickBank product I've come across sounds a biiiiiit high.

    When experimenting with PPC I'd keep the bids LOW and the keywords extremely targeted. Find out if you can make some conversions and then expand your approach from there.

    I would also agree to keep your CPC low - $0.15-$0.25 should be perfect if you've found a solid niche and are providing a relevant product. The key here is relevancy, from your ad headline to your ad text to your landing page to your product - the more relevant, the less it costs to make more sales.

    Honestly I think you should have a daily budget of $20 to $30 a day (.20 to .30 a click max) before you get anywhere with clickbank. Hope I helped!

    i start of with a higher CPC of around 30-40c.. then when my campaign works up a good QS i slowly drop my bid to around 10-15... and my ad still stays around position 4-5.

    if i notice my ad position is less then 3 i will lower my bid.

    if you get a product in which their product page converts really really good like 1:10 I would spend up to 1$ per click if I could make at least 50% profit back. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend and earn. You can spend 30 cents a click and get like 3 sales and get massive ROI or you can spend like 1$ a click and get like 10 sales and make more money at a lower ROI.

    after 100 clicks with no sales I would go ahead and try something else or try to change it a little bit... What are you trying to promote? maybe i can help you with it as far as i can help.

    it does fluctuate...and $20/day is actually a good point to start. As well as max. 0.30 per click. IMHO.

    Its hard to generalize because there ARE days when i throw down a whole days budget down Google's throat...and another day i get the investment back 3x 4x....

    Another option is...just stay away from adwords and buy cheap banner-space on related sites...for eg 25-40 bucks a MONTH.....or try if you have better luck on adwords with "placement targeting" and image/banner ads instead of regular ads.

    Still waiting for my banners to get approved. But i consider Adwords placement-targeting the best thing since sliced bread, and they also allow CPC now.
