Hey, I started my first Google Campaign a few days ago. So far I've had 100 semi-targetted clicks and no conversions. I am promoting Earth4Energy, it looks like a great product, and the conversions (well...) seem very low. If there a delay in CB tracking? In anycase I send the visitors to a review lp - I am wondering, on average how many targeted visitors do I need for a product to receive a sale in general? Do I need to up my bid of 0.20 CPC ?
100 "semi-targeted" clicks and no conversion? I generally budget for 1 conversion per 100 clicks. But you really need to suffer through about 300 clicks before you really know if the campaign isn't working. As to your othe question, CB reports almost realtime. I think they claim 1 to 2 minutes.
