Is getting 8 leads, 1 sale for $1 considered being good at Adwords?

    I'm Chris and I don't write a lot on Digital point, because I'm on Warrior forum and also a few others, but I love forums.

    Today, for the first 1 hour of the day I've had 8 leads and 1 sale come in from 1 single ad.

    I had a 44% conversion rate from "visits into leads" and I paid only $0.06/visitor.

    I guess this is pretty good?

    I want to coach someone to get amazing CTR, ROI and conversions for their websites... I've got sneaky tricks that are amazing.

    What the hell!? $2/visitor?? That's insane!!

    I personally never pay more than $0.20 per visitor... EVER, you must be doing something seriously wrong, trust me.. not even in big industries that's what you should pay...

    Dude, you are missing some vital information about adwords, is it profitable?

    Because I could probably coach you for about 1 day and reduce your costs by 90% just by fixing a few basic, basic things...

    Thanks man.. will keep updates and I've recorded a video on this today... I'm just using my techniques that I've developed over a long period of time... I've actually never spent more than $0.20 on a click (if I'm not wanting to spend more to see what happens, and usually nothing improves... lol)

    Thanks for all your compliments guys... I was overwhelmed by all the leads I've been getting today... too bad only 2 upgraded to the full version from this forum (That's $100 profits from a little forum marketing...)

    Learn that if you give nice value, and have good proof and are a nice person you can make money online =)

    Sorry I'm selling "how to make money" right now, but this is BY FAR not the only niche I'm operating in... I operate 30 sites and many niches =)

    The techniques I use in my "Lazy Million Dollars" course is just amazing for making money as a newbie and expert.. even had compliments from gurus about me being "advanced" marketer and didn't take enough credit for myself =)

    Thank you, thank you.

    Your so called "magic tricks" may work for some small non competitive niches but it not going to happen for every industry. For example, I would love to see you pull off a 0.06 click for hosting terms or IT management.

    It's not doable for one...

    So, while I congratulate you for finding cheap content clicks (which is no mystery) I highly recommend not claiming to be the prodigal son of PPC.

    There are many industries out there and many of which are very competitive and require large bids. Also clients such as mine contain portfolio's of close to 1 million keywords. So while you may find 1 keyword, content theme, or website that only costs 0.06 per click, many larger campaigns need to have a mix of both high and low cost and volume keywords

    In close, I have many content campaigns that get 0.01 per click, with millions of impressions and clicks per day. So cheap traffic is a dime a dozen, its quality traffic thats more important

    haha... cool... I can pull of cheap clicks in IT management, maybe not $0.06, but very low... you'd be surprised. And getting $0.01 clicks is sweet.. isn't it... I never claimed I was the son of PPC haha...

    I know I do a GOOD JOB with PPC and that's good enough for me and I know I can teach people who are "not so good at it" to make a profit...

    hi. This is jason.

    First time running Adwords content. I am marketing for a work from home business in an area in Malaysia, so very targeted campaign. I cannot seem to find more than 2 keywords that are effective. Adwords either state that not enough data is available for prediction or the traffic volume bar for the keywords shows empty. I can get popular keywords like small business etc. need to place bid of more than RM1 dollar or it says not enough to show on first page of google.

    Can anyone please help and advice?

    Thank you

    Getting 1 sale from 8 leads is good but it is not a wide picture of your campaign success,you can get a wide picture of your campaign after 500-1000 clicks.

    Everyone can get 1 sale for 1 lead(i am only saying that this is possible)

    I remember that i got 3 sales from 45 clicks and than nothing from about 150 clicks.As I said judge your campaign after 500-1000 clicks.
