My First $1000.00 Day On Azoogle

Wow, I leave for a couple of days to do some research and you guys have started a flame war.

If you don't believe that what aj is doing actually works then don't try it. Less competition that way.

I at least gave it a shot, didn't do so well, then did a couple of sales, then stopped getting impressions. I then 'paused' my campaign to figure out what the hell I was doing.

I'm now reading The Four Hour Work Week by Tim Ferris, by the way. If you don't have it, get it. It's made me realize that I'm not sure if I want endless riches....or just freedom.

Oh wait, I want both.

Is this thread going to be the most viewed and replied thread of all time?? Maybe someone needs to contacts the guiness book of records to find out...

I'll share the check!

This idea is now copyrighted!

 

Its got way more posts than any thread I have come across but it still need a lot more views to be #1. Its really a negative thing to though. I think this thread more than any other has more noobs/flamers that are coming in and asking the same stuff because its just gotten to long to read.

 

AJ in the midst of the flame war, did you see my earlier post here bottom of the page? Am I on the right track with my campaign structure so far?

Ask some insightful questions and I'll do my best for an insightful answer. Other then that, I'm still going strong with $2,000-$3,000+ per day on Azoogle.

I don't think we'll be seeing Gatorade any more. Back to the frying station at McDonald's.

 

aj22,

Maybe I've missed this but I realized that you mentioned having a 'choose your carrier landing page' in between, why do you still need that? Have you tried testing it without that page?

 

Yea, basically the same amount of conversions, but much lower eCPC since you are sending 90% extremely untargeted visitors right to the merchant page as opposed to 10% somewhat targeted ("interested" visitors).

 

Ok that makes sense, thanks.

 

Alright, lemme repost my question again :

Well I finnally re-did my campaign and going full force with this. I got my LP and pages all setup and ready to go. Threw up some targetted niches on the content network and let it rip (I'm not doing cat food this time )
Due to habit from the search network, i set my inital bids a bit high at $0.40, you think its too high to start out?

Also, I structured my campaigns differently now. From my uderstanding, since the content network bases each adgroups on "themes" from your keywords, the adgroups really don't have to relate to one another....or do they?

This is sorta how I currently have it setup (*note that this is NOT how I would ever do my search campaigns*):

Generic Cat Food Campaign
-> Cat Food Agroup
-> Dog adgroup
-> Car Adgroup
-> 14 Year Old Girl Adgroup
-> Baby Adgroup
-> Weightloss adgroup
...
... etc

Would this particular structure work out? Or would I actually have to break each adgroups to different campaigns and structure it so that adgroups are closely related to one another or it'll affect my supposed content network QS?

 

Each campaign should have 1 main theme (pet foods) and each adgroup should be a subtheme, IE dog food, cat food, bird food, and etc. How you're doing it above wouldn't affect your overall campaign, but as far as organization goes, it is better to aggregate adgroups together with related themes.

 

Right now, I am at the point where I have been grossing $3-$4K daily, with about a 60-65% profit margin. I am not sure what A.J. is at right now (last I read I think he was doing about the same numbers as me).

A.J.has proven himself across this thread and other threads to be an honest guy who gives good advice. When you get to a point where you are grossing $3K daily... that translates to a gross annual income of over $1,000,000.

Speaking for myself, I am still creating more campaigns so that I can increase my profits... but considering the fact that I feel very blessed to even make this crazy amount of income -- I feel the need to contribute and help others... and no doubt that is the fact with A.J.

The "thousands" of threads you see about people making $xx,xxx.xx amount of dollars is really only about 4 or 5 threads on the Azoogle forums. Only 1 of them in my honest opinion is fake.

If A.J.'s intention was to make money with some crappy "Make Money Online" ebook, he would have done so already... but as we all can see, he hasn't.

The reason, why he is holding back on some information is because if he told the whole world, he wouldn't make any money... because everybody and their mother would jump on his "secret strategy".

I myself have some secret strategies... and while I will help people out on the board, definitely won't give out the secrets to just everybody.

In fact, I have used a few of the tactics that A.J. stated earlier... and it does work. While I am not doing things in the EXACT manner that he's doing, I took the principles he did reveal... added it to my own... and greatly added to the income I was making.

So please, let's stop hating on A.J.

 

Wow, that's still pretty killer. How many campaigns are you running at once now, aj?

M

 

Yep, that's what I do. My campaign is pretty much named "Campaign #1" and the ad groups are all totally different. Some campaigns are tied together a little better with an overall theme - but I don't think there is much of a difference in performance.

Thanks for the kind words, webgenesis! Glad to hear your still kicking ass and taking names in the affiliate marketing world.

2/3 of which are all ringtones based. The other 1/3 brings in about the same amount in a few other niches (not ringtones). Still spreading out, hell, I'll even spill the beans, my new niche is dating. I'm up to about $300-400 a day revenue, the profit margin is very low though - but thats the name of the game. Up the revenue, increase the profit margin...here we go.

 

Nice work man, thanks for sharing!

 

Excellent...i'm sorta understanding this cat food thing now. As far as bidding prices are concerned, now do you bid high initially and lower your bids as you go?

Also, do you focus much on ad position on the content network?

 

You definitely need to have a gimmick and know what you are doing if you are making money in the dating realm.... awesome.

 

I always start between .40 and .60 then adjust accordingly after several days... you want to be in position 2-3 in my experience.

 

isn't that too high? it is depends on niche but do you set daily limit? Beacuse .4 to .6 will creates lot of clicks..

 

"lots of clicks" - that's the point . You need the click so you can then determine what to adjust. Without clicks you are stuck.

 

yeah but I mean .4 to .6 per click will cost you fortune. cheap mass traffic is point here, not just mass traffic..
