My Experience with Adwords and CPA marketing
So I'm a great reader of this forume, but first time poster, and I wanted to talk about my experience and see if someone could help point me in a better direction. I have always done internet marketing, but was a pretty heavy snowshoe spammer. My wife luckily got a very highly paying job and now im a stay at home dad, and trying to do something a little more low key and legal like CPA/CPC marketing.
First Day: I get a coupon for $100 to a new adwords account. My buddy with affiliate network opens up his offers to me. I set up a campaign for a buy-from-vendor lead generating landing page at $25 a lead for about 0.70 cpc. I smile smugly. This will work great.
Third Day: Account goes active. I get 60-70 clicks on the page. Nothing converts. Total loss, but I take it as learning experiment. I look for a new offer. Sign up for big affiliate network. Shocked at spammy offers. Join another big affiliate network. Slightly better, so I grab a one field email capture gift card offer for the NFL. Adwords account immediately suspended because of low quality web content being advertised. I angrily email adwords helpcenter.
Fourth Day: Waiting for that to get back up, I decide to use facebook cpa ads. I use a christian dating site, focus in on keywords in likes, get a good audience of single men, put some money down in facebook. Ad is disapproved because the christian site is owned by adultfriendfinder network. I play video games in frustration.
Fifth day: Adwords back up with apologies and a friendly email. I decided to do a more mainstream offer like insurance, bingo, and electronics. CPCs are huge though, so I settle on credit card offers. Set up campaign diligently, with tons of different ads targeting different possible niches. I smile smugly. This will totally work.
Today: My adwords account has been permanently suspended for continued violations of some agreement that offers very vague directives. Apparently credit cards are a no-go as well. Ive never seen a company so willing to throw away business.
I am really frustrated at my early attempts. Anyone have any words of wisdom, or failing that, solace?
