Hi all. I am thinking about starting an adwords campaign for my hot or not style site. I dont 'really' want to do it as I have other means of traffic boosting but i want at least 5000 uniques per day and adwords seems a logical choice. Problem is my site does not sell anything. the income is from advertising and im really not sure if I can make the money I put into adwords back on adsense and CJ. Any1 got any advice ?
I'm in the same boat as you mate. How much traffic are you currently getting per day? And what do you mean by other methods of advertising? I need such methods lol.
If u want to try it than just start with some small budget and check weather is gives any revenue or not. as u told that u r not selling any links than u should put some affiliate links to get some revenue. or my advise is just go for some SEO services for your site i m sure you will get more visitors at lower rate. all the best
PPC is great for delivery instant traffic, within 15 mins your could have a campaign up and running. Thing i suggest you do to limit the costs: 1) Limit the daily budget (google sometimes over spends daily budget by 20%, but evens it out over a month) 2) Target misspellings, much cheaper 3) Write monitvating copy - with a clear call to action
