My problem is that I haven't been able to figure out how to buy traffic. Of the 750,000 referrals in the last 18 months from search engines, 500,000 were for search phrases that only had one visitor. The most popular key phrase associated with revenue had 1800 visitors, and resulted in about $900 in sales. 99.99% of my income comes from key phrases that only have 10 or less searchers per 18 months. I could plow through and ask for 60,000 low volume key words, but the PPC people don't want to deal with me on that basis. ideas? wiz
And just to make your problem a little harder to deal with I should point out that there was a time when 50% of all search terms used in Google each day had never been searched for before -
That is where I seem to be making the most money. People are getting more sophisticated in their search terms, they know better than to type in something generic, when they do all they get is Ebay and Amazon. They search for very specific terms, which makes them hard to advertise to! And the PPC people haven't caught on at all. I have used several PPC programs, and the first thing they did is trim down my requested keywords to the dozen or so that were expected to get more than a certain threshold per day. best regards wiz
needd to extend your approch move further to some of the exclusive advertiser networks... if you want the quality go for cpa networks.

Doesn't Miva give you a list of keywords to select from? Usually very few of such key words will work for me. That is the problem. If I was selling t-shirts it might be different.
