MS AdCenter and Yahoo Search for Polls?

sith005 · 09-12-2010, 12:50 PM

Hi All,

I'm just starting to learn and dabble in PPC. Up until this point, I've focused on organic SEO to generate traffic, and doing ok. However, I'd like to scale. I'll continue SEO for sure, and continue my campaigns that are making money, but I'd really like to get into PPC.

I have a small budget, and I'd like to start getting my feet wet using polls. I keep seeing that Google should best be avoided for these sites, but I wanted to know if MS AdCenter or Yahoo Search Marketing are being used successfully for these kinds of sites. Do they typically not like these sites too? I know a lot of people use these networks to test offers and such, is the traffic decent?

I'm not looking to become rich on this, just get my feet wet, learn the basics first hand of building a campaign, split testing, improving ROI, etc. Thanks in advance!

I have never had problems running polls on Yahoo! and Bing, and I've run many.

Actually, I think that this is one of the easiest ways to get started with PPC, specially if your budget is not very good.

Cool, yeah I'm starting off pretty small, just to test it out. So you were getting decent traffic there? I'm going to start a new campaign tonight and test throughout the week. Going to search for some credits on both to see what I can get and go from there.

Thanks!

Yes, they have a decent volume (it's not like Google, obviously, but it's not bad at all). But don't expect to make lots of money with polls. Each poll makes me something between $20 and $35 a day and I use to get a winner out of 4 or 5 polls.

This method is very good to make some quick cash and learn how PPC works, but there are better alternatives for long-term campaigns.

Thanks William. I completely understand. I don't expect to make a ton, but I really mostly want to learn the ropes of PPC a bit, with a small budget and simpler type of campaign. I got both of your FlashCPA WSO's and they're great! Thanks for your help here, and for putting both of those out!
