What to do with $100 Google Adword?

yellowball · 07-07-2011, 12:05 PM

Hi everyone,
I have few blogs monetized with adsense. Now, I just got $100 adword voucher. What is the best way to use it? What CPA offers are good for using this? or should I just use it to promote my current blogs? I have never used adword or pay for click before so some tips are appreciated.

PPC Advertising like Adwords is a science in and of itself.

The $100.00 voucher is for you to stick your toe in.

You'd be wise to get a good Adwords ebook like Perry Marshall's "The Definitive Guide to Google Adwords" and learn how to do them right or you'll be losing money hand over fist.

I would say PPC could work for CPA - just getting into CPA myself - depending on the relative profit you expect. IE, don't promote a $1.20 signup bonus with $2.00 Adwords clicks. Find a $2.50 payout that you can promote expecting a 10% signup for maybe $0.10 - 0.15 or so.

But again, PPC is a whole ballgame itself not to be messed with lightly.

My $0.025,

John

My recommendation - build a full site dedicated to SEO. From there then start to promote it on PPC..

Beware that Google AdWords is too competitive! You will lose your money in no time if you do not have plan for it!

I'd choose a niche, put together a squeeze page ending up with a opt-in form, find a set of non-competitive keywords in the niche using available tools (Google's keyword tool and traffic estimator) and set a daily budget of 10-20 dollars and finally set some followup messages containing CPA offers!

But this plan is only for testing and experiencing the PPC traffic. You will be probably losing than making but this will give you the idea that how PPC works.

Hopefully, next month you are the one who is guiding a newbie though AdWords!

Good Luck buddy!

I 100% agree with you Omid. Well 100 bucks is definitely not worth wasting (hell even a dollar is not worth wasting!) ... But I totally agree that beware about getting sucked into a constant loop of CPC and all the crap that google will sell you... just use that 100 bucks and get out from there and let them come back with another coupon :-)....

Since you are using AdSense, you should also check ellipsis adnet - which is a network of merchants and publishers... imagine all the good features of google but no "middle man fee of 60% like google makes and doesn't tell you"... adnet is free! and far more flexible than google adwords and adsense.

cheers!
