300 budget To spend on CPA

Noirmaybe · 09-24-2011, 11:59 AM

I have a $300 budget to spend on CPA. My adwords account is banned, I'm using adcenter. And I've tried 7search [I don't think I will be using them again due to the high click and low conversion ratio losing me money instead of earning me money]

Any Suggestions on what to do ?

Hi Noirmaybe,

Adcenter is taking adwords path against affiliates, 7search is good PPC network if you know how to use it properly same thing for facebook PPC.

Doing things in the right way is the key.

you could use looksmart.com or PoF, i am using 7search, running 2 campaigns with them right now and getting 80% ROI, maybe you are doing something different than me

I tried Looksmart this week because I heard a few good things about them. This is my experience:

I immediately started seeing a huge number of clicks in my Peerfly and Neverblue accounts. It was like a huge floodgate of traffic had been opened. I was tracking it all live in the Spy view of Prosper202 and clicks were coming in almost every minute. I had the bids set at .02 cents so the clicks were really cheap. I tested about 5 different campaigns over four or five days. In the end I had 1,049 clicks across all the campaigns, and only 3 conversions!! I had a $50 coupon so it didn't hurt me too much.

I just don't understand how anyone could make money with Looksmart. A huge number of clicks were coming from parked domains and totally irrelevant domains. Unless I was just doing something really wrong....I am at least able to break even on 7search!

I actually set up an Looksmart account today. But I didn't proceed with it after reading similar reports to yours

With 7search I was running 2 campaigns. One had 42 clicks but only two conversions. The other was slightly better with 21 and 3 conversions.
This was what I got so far before a hold was put on my account so I can verify my CC.

What I would really love to do is pay someone to run campaigns for me in adwords or for someone to mentor me in setting up second tier PPC for earning with CPA

Getting 2 conversions out of 42 clicks is a good sign, You need to find your winner keywords and to scale up your campaigns.

Are you using any tracking method?

Is it?

It was costing more than it was earning so I lowered the cpc to .05 from .10 but by that time the account was put on hold

I'm just using PeerFly sub ids

Mahmoud Selman · 09-24-2011, 05:07 PM

Testing to find your winner keywords will always cost you more in the beginning then you should be able to scale your campaign and remove the none converting keywords.

Try to track your keywords. You should bid wisely and know your EPC.

Well, I know that it was just this one keyword that was costing so much and not converting. The offer I was promoting had a EPC of .28 but with seven I was only geting an epc of .06

Always reminding yourself "Bid High,budget low" when you start using ppc traffic. If you budget is high, one or two keywords in campaign may eat 60% of your budget.

I think apart from using Google,Bing etc. there is another way of reaching targeted customers is "Media Buying" simply you can find out the forums or big sites in your niche most probably they will having "contact us" or "advertise with us" section you can contact them to place your Ad.
For your demographic research you can use Google ad planner tool. I think this is an effective way to reach your target audience.

ChrisBa · 09-25-2011, 11:02 AM

You should probably take that money and do some research then head back to 7search..

internetlot · 09-25-2011, 11:56 AM

I think Bidvertiser also works great. Try using it
