I have a new product with a new site. The target is pretty wide, any adult can buy my product. I do believe in a strategy of exposure. The more visitors I will get, the more sale I will make. Can I get an average of 5 cents a click for my campaign? If I could make 1 sales per 200 Clicks, this will cost me this way 10$ cost of sales and this will allow me to do a lot more on Adword again... Did you guys had any chance to explore this strategy of very wide range of keywords for a cheap exposure? Should I go content and search ad or search results only? Any Advise is welcome.
You can get 0.05 , but depending on the keyword. You may try other networks like adbrite,adengage as well. They deliver some low cpc ads too.
I'm in the same context! A conversion rate of 1 sales every 200 clicks, or 0.5% seems good to me. But I have been told here that's not realistic... I do believe in exposure too. I have no idea if you can reach 5 cents a clicks easily. I do have more that 100,000 keywords related to my audience, theses terms don't have any advertisers when I searched them so I don't know if this mean I can get them for 5 cents... 5 cents needs to be my goal too. I was planning 7 cents but 5 cents will be awesome. I need to generate a minimum of 280 sales per month so this will be equal to 56,000 clicks at 5 cents and 0.5% conversion rate... Good luck with your project and product. Is anybody outhere who runs 5 cents campaign?
my advice would be to pick out some targeted high volume keywords that you can get a 3-6 position on for .05c a click and work your campaign CTR up as high as possible. BUT, instead of sending everyone to a sales page like it sounds like you want to do, i'd send it to a optin page that captures the prospects email and THEN sends them to the sales page. then you have a huge prospect list that you can follow up with and turn that pathetic .5% conversion rate into a better one like 1-3% conversion to sale. i wouldn't spend money on adwords without capturing as many double optin emails as i could. oliver
