Give me traffic charlie

Following on from Affiliate Marketing, where to start? I have found my product and now I need people to sell it to. Once again google to the rescue with AdWords. I already had a AdSense account so creating a AdWords account took minutes. There was a $10 setup fee which they took from the $40 I deposited (ouch 25% already gone), leaving me with $30, an active AdWords account . For those who are thinking “You tight arse, why only $30″? Well I figured when learning to play poker you bet small till you know what you’re doing, then you start betting big, so if all else fails I only lose $40.

Adwords Campaign Structure

Adwords Campaign Structure

Instead of just diving head first into the world of  AdWords I decided to figure out how I was going to structure my campaigns, ad groups and ads. I created two separate ad groups for each country the product was allowing traffic from. I created a single ad group for each and made two ads and placed them in each group (see structure diagram).

Note: Each ad I added a subid which matched the ad name, for example for the ad AUPROAD1 the url had www.clixgalore.com/ Lead.aspx?…&OID=AUPROAD1&… so I can match leads to successful ads. I got this from the clixgalore FAQs for publishers.

Finding Keywords

I picked 10 broad keywords around my product for a max bid cost of 0.13c, both search and content network enabled and now waiting for the ad to be approved.

Round up

  1. I created an AdWords account
  2. Created campaigns, ad groups and ads
  3. Gave each ad an custom sub-id for tracking
  4. Selected keywords based on what I think matches my product
  5. Set search and content enabled at 0.13c a click

Next update will be in a few days and ill let use know what happens.

Update: Next part March results
