    its hard to say why you didn;t get any sales after the first 2 without any facts. sales/click depends on niche and the landing page. try to figure out the conversion rate for the industry. revisiting the landing page would be another suggestion

    Maybe its your site design-(been there before) maybe you want to post your URL?

    I use adwrods for lead generation- as its "cold" traffic.....doesnt know you.......

    586 clicks and 2 sales means pause your campaign and figure out what's wrong.

    It could be several things. Is your site up, is the network tracking correctly, put a test lead through and see if it tracks.

    You don't happen to be promoting a CJ affiliate offer do you?

    That's the landing page. Some people like it, some don't.

    Think this has been covered pretty well already.

    If people are searching for what you do/have and your advert appears, they may click on it.

    If they do, and they don't convert, then you have to ask why somebody who wants what you have isn't buying it/signing up for it.

    The most likely reasons for a poor conversion rate are:

    * You are bidding on irrelevant keywords and/or your advert is misleading - do you actually have what they are looking for?
    * Your prices are uncompetitive
    * Your product range/stock availability is poor
    * Your website looks unreliable - do they feel safe giving your their details?
    * They can't find what they are looking for

    Until you resolve this problem, your PPC campaign will never be successful.
