I make a few sites in this niche. This is why i would really like to know what CPC could i expect. My estimation is about $0.20 on avarage. Am I right ?
YAHOO STORE owner asks some questions... Okay. I know you can make money online. About 1 in 3 of my clients make "real" money. Not sure if by selling those specific things, but look at what competitors are paying on OVERTURE per click as a good example of the VALUE of the keywords. Multiply the number of searches per month (if you use OVERTURE) x the $$$ folks are paying for the THIRD PLACE position to find a number I call the TOTAL SEARCH TERM VALUE METRIC. You might get 1-10% of that traffic. Now find 50,000 other keywords! Read webmasterworld.com and you'll know what I know in a year if you implement now. If it were me? I would figure our your business model backwards. How much extra cash do you need per month. How many orders could that be if you margins were x and your overhead was y. How much traffic would you need with a 1% conversion rate to sell that much if you average order was z. Free traffic takes a while. You have to develop CONTENT (articles, reviews, good product & section pages, faq, how to's, etc.) and get LINKS back to your site from other sites (directorires, links swaps, paid links, etc.).
