    I just checked your hoplink, and your affiliate ID does appear at the bottom of the ClickBank sales page.

    With this merchant, you need to first click the 'Click here to go to the secure order page now' link on the home page, and then on the next page click the 'Place a secure order now for The Gold Package and receive The Confidential Dog Food Report, The Hungry Dog, Dog Food SECRETSâ„¢, an instant $30.00 discount, 23 Dog Treat Recipe Book, zero shipping costs and the unadvertised gift, The Dog -- a total value of $306.99 for only $47 when I order today' link before you get to the ClickBank order page where you will see your ID.

    Ensure your affiliate ID appears at the bottom of the clickbank sales page. Disregard the hoplink in the URL, it doesn't always show and doesn't necessarily mean your not getting credit for the sale.

    It's worth a try. Most products with a half decent sales page will sell through adWords, but you've got to expect to loose some money before you identify the right products and fine tune your campaigns before you start to make consistent profits.

    Conversion rates of under 1% are common, so it really comes down to how competitive the market is, and how much it costs you to buy enough targeted traffic to make a sale. But you can only find that out by giving it a go.

    Good luck!

    Yeah, the learning curve with PPC arbitrage can be expensive, but it's worth persevering with!

    You should really consider creating your own landing pages rather than sending traffic direct to the merchant. If you can add some support to the merchants claims through your pre-sell page, you should see your conversion rates go up.

    Personally, for that type of campaign I limit it to Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, UK & US.

    If your budget is tight then yes, spend as little as you can to get the most targeted traffic.

    At this stage though, your goal should be to gather information on what works and what doesn't, not to get into immediate profit. If you contact the merchant directly they will usually be more than happy to add your Google conversion tracking code to their 'thank you' page. Once that is in place, you will be able to see which of your keywords convert to sales and which don't through your adWords stats, then you can increase bids on the good keywords and delete the bad ones.

    Information is King....
