Hi my name is Neal, and Im a Newbie. ; ) I'm just getting into the aff gig. The product I got is selling quite a bit. In commisions at usually 20.00 a sale, I've sold $1,235.00 since the 1st of November. But I'm having to spend just about the same amount, give or take $20.00 to get those sales. Granted, I've just started this 10/28. But I'm averaging a 2.35% CTR and my conversion rate is 2.15%. My avg cpc is .60. My avg. click total is 210. I'm working with 37 KW, and 4 of them are the ones that are working. One in paticular is almost the life line of the campaign. But also the highest per click. But if I lower my bid to much I go 3 pages back. Would you ever let go of a KW that's selling but costing to? Is it better set the campaign I guess it's called in the "pace" mode, or change it to show at full speed? Any additonal info would be great! I would appreciate it.
The message above was meant for the adwords group. I guess, I jumped a head and they moved it over here. Recently married in May of 06, I work for a pretty well known telecommunications company in the sales enviroment that I hate! Have read quite a bit about affiliate marketing, also in spare time studying web design b and PHP. I just started testing the waters on the affiliate side of the spectrum. My Goal is to eventually make aff. marketing a full time job. Although I know I have a long way to go. I've looked through a few forums and this by far is the best one I've seen. I look forward to being active in this forum, and learn some along the way!
Welcome and best wishes to you. Some folks seem to make a nice living off of affiliate marketing with a lot of sweat equity included.
