First Profitable Day In PPV to CPA - Lessons Learned

Just wanted to post my experience here and how I became profitable in PPV, maybe it can help some of you.

Note:
I lost over $200 in ppv traffic and also invested in 3 different courses to get to this point. I also invested over 50 hours of reading these great forum threads. I was also very active in asking questions on here as well (thanks for all the input people).

Here are my tools:
Affportal Google suggested keyword tool
Affportal Batch url scraper
Prosper202 hosted version for tracking
Conversion pixel on offer success page to track keywords and urls.

Here is what I learned from my mistakes before, don't bid on general url's, go through each url specifically to make sure it's a good fit for your offer. Don't bid on keywords until you have a good campaign then add keywords. Or monitor keywords very closely..

Don't let your traffic come in day and night, when you see conversions it will let you know what time of the day it's converting. (shut it down when it's not converting)

Start with direct linking then move onto landing page if you see decent conversions (I'm actually building my first landing page tomorrow)

Any questions? I will answer as best as I can here.
