I have never used PPC to advertise any of my websites in the past, but i think it's time to start seeing what it can do for me. I am looking into sponsoring a keyword for an affiliate. As i've never done it before, would you say to put a small amount of money in, and see how it goes and if it converts well? or what.. i don't want to make a balls of it
Yeah go for it and see what happens. Whats your affiliate payout like? Actually take a look at this thread http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=50616 - you will pick up some great tips but might take you weeks to read right to the end, its a big one.
I suppose if the payout is more than the cost of the click then its good I use one that pays me 10% of an item that is $2500 but so far I have only sold one but it has given me a taste to spend more to make more.
It's definately worth trying, if you can get a few low cost keywords it can work really well. I would suggest starting with low bids as you don't want to blow all of your budget in one day!
Do it dear. PPC has shown a very different and Effective way to advertise. And Internet is only one of play ground. Game has just begun. Sooner you will see Video ads on TV, Pay per call, Pay per Watch or so. Way to go. Nuttymarketer
I have to say I like PPC. It generated my first traffic to my property site in an area of the web where it's hard to generate your own traffic without spending masses advertising on the bigger sites. It was a good way to advertise on a budget. Just make sure you have good wording on your ad and the right keywords.
