What are some lower paying campaigne's to invest in?
(niche wise)

 

You will, more or less, always pay more anywhere the competition is higher. Yet, if you try to drop your costs by heading in the direction of less competition you may find yourself in a dead market.

Broadly 'make money' and real estate are costly - for the reasons above.

 

I'm with you. Everything depends.

 

yes im also with you.

 

Google adwords is probably more expensive than similar programs at Yahoo or Bing. You can still find good $0.08 words if you search though. I find I get better conversions from Bing than others - you might be able to find vouchers on DP which give free credit

 

Get free credut on vouchers,u'll save some

 

Google adwords is not expensive for any niche because if it is costing you 5USD for 1 click then it means your competitors are also paying similar amount, it depends on kind of business, if you are generating payday loan lead then you might have to spend 6-8 USD per click because the every lead has more value than it.

 

$5 usd per click is too expensive for me.

 

I dont think so that google adwords is expensive, it depends on which keywords and target location you are chossing, if you choose highly competitive keywords then cost per click would be high.. if you choose low competitive keywords then cost per click would be low.

 

I agree on this. A balanced keyword ad with google should be not higher than 30-50 Cents per click. You can adjust the amount on each campaigns for each keyword.

 

Look in directories and try to find less competitive niches with a hungry market that wants to buy. This will help you start up keeping costs down, and profits up.

 

you can take of advantage of keywords that are not so broad such as "make money online" use terms that are the name of the products such as "your affiliate success" or "lazy million dollars". These terms are used to describe a particular brand and can help in lower click costs.

So in short, concentrate on specific brand names and you should be able to get those $.30 to $.50 clicks that was mentioned earlier.

 

It is more expensive than most PPC networks. But here is a new system you can try... It's called "Screw Google".
Hey, I didn't name it. But it works like gangbusters!

 

Adwords ARE expensive, but they are very helpful!

 

also if you pay $5 a click then you would have to be making alot of sales to break even dont you think?

 

Indeed some keywords in the financial niche are extremely expensive, not worth bidding if you are an affiliate...

 

It is a proven fact, at least I have - from spending a huge amount (£500K) in a year, that Google has over 70% of the market share. However, they are not the best converting search engine.

Sometimes, conversion from Bing is way high compared with Google. In fact, you need to realise that the search engines will give you good conversion rate compared with other forms of online advertising.

Is Google expensive, yes. But, it also depends on which market you are. Can you lose money there? Yes. But you can also make good money! The understanding you need to get to grips with is that you need to make more than you are spending. If you are not, there are PPC experts at these forum who you can approach to help you.

My advice is to get a good setup, get a good start with your campaign and gradually achieve what you can afford. Then, Google system will look after you.

Cheers,
