    Check the Spreadsheet at

    http://www.rajuthan.com/AffiliatemarketingRAJUTHAN.xls

    I promote offers through search and link directly to the Offer. My conversion rate will increase as next month I'm going to use Adwords only.

    Can someone tell me if Estimation is do able or not?

    Man, those numbers look nice. Nothing is an exact science though, especially in aff marketing - if it was, everyone would be doing it.

    So is this based on the idea of pouring earnings for each month into the next? The problem I see with your plan is that you won't be able to max out the budget effectively. You could probably spend every dime, but you would need to keep adding keywords as they are only searched so much. You would need so many different things going on that you would lose a lot to just inefficiency and you would run out of converting words and be the next ebay advertising on everything.

    GL though

    Right, you can't just infinitely double your earnings using the same campaigns/products. There comes a point when selling a product where you've maxed out your marketshare - you can't sell anymore regardless of how much more you invest.

    I think that what you're thinking here is "If I can turn $20 into $40 and $200 into $400, then surely I can turn $200,000 into $400,000". It could be done, yes, but you can't turn $200k into $400k using the exact same method that you used to turn $200 into $400

    Make sense?

    Not even remotley possible for 2 main reasons: 1. You can't predict your future ROI based on past results. That +269% may be -500% next month. 2. Results are not scaleable upwards. There are only so many searches each month per keyword, and only a percentage of each of those that you can capture.

    Keep optimizing your current campaign and try testing new ones. That's the only way to grow your earnings.

    Not at all.

    You will not be able to keep such a high ROI when you expand like that because you will need to pay (probably much) higher CPC rates to grow the traffic to such a level.

    I agree completely you can only scale one offer so much before you have to move onto other offers. While earnings increasing by multiples is always possible but not with just one offer as at some point you reach the maximum limit.
