Default About to start my 1st PPC campaign. Advise me!

Ok so I have $60 to try PPC +a coupon for $50 for adwords. Also a $25 one for Yahoo.

I have some sniper style 1 product niche websites up and ready to rock.

Soft Sale & Honest Review Style.

I am looking for some of you with experience making good money this way to either post or PM me some advice on what to AVOID that could kill my efforts, and what I should absoloutely do before I hit that "Start Campaign" button.

Or if you know someone who has a very good guide to ppc I am interested in taking a look at it.

Basically I am fed up waiting for my sites to rank and I want to kick start some income and scale it (hopefully) without sinking my money into this blindly.

My background quickly is setting up campaigns for my customers based on keywords they want. I usually turn off targeting content websites and do pure search results for my clients since this seems to have better results.

But as for doing adsence for myself I have not tried it yet and I am definatly a newbie to doing it for affiliate products. I basically know you cant use re-directs... and thats it.

Sorry for the book and thanks!

Victoria,

I don't want to crash on your party, just understand that people who do PPC will spend $500 just to "Test" a product. You have $135 budget, I would say create a product of your own (Ebook) and use the money for that to increase your chances of getting a profit. That way even if you don't make any money you will gain some exposure for your own product , not someone else.

I would like to disagree with you "waiting for my sites to rank" persepective. I take the what else can I do to help this site gain traffic, or what site am I going to build next?

I have tried PPC (I treid REAL HARD), It never worked out for me.

HTH

Victoria, are you saying you have experience with PPC but only doing so for others? Sounds like you just set it up and following their instructions without doing research yourself. Well at least you are familiar with the interface.

What you need is the research and ad-writing part. You are asking for a guide so check out my link below.

I've been in your position before. I would try and target long tail keywords for as cheap as you can. If you have conversion data from your organic keywords. I would try and target some of those keywords.

Like others have said your going to need more money to run a good campaign. Try and start with 30 a month with google and build from there. The good news is you can succeed with PPC. Best of Luck.

Hi Victoria..

I also feel your budget is not adequate enough for ppc at this time.

I would take the earlier advice about creating your own product

good luck how ever way you go

Peace

Hi Victoria,

We tried PPC on a couple of occasions and I agree with what everyone is telling you. You really need more money to just do a test.

We did a test for just a couple of hours the last time we did a test and that alone was about $100. Our mentor (at the time) advised us to do this but it was a mistake in my opinion because we could have used other marketing techniques for a lot less money.

I wish you the best of luck and hope you are doing well.

Google like vendor’s account more than affiliate’s and the same to users. Meanwhile, affiliate will get fewer conversions than actual for being deleted cookies on user's explorer. Hope this answer can help you!^^

For the type of site you're promoting I wouldn't recommend AdWords for the fact that you'll get slapped with a low Quality Score. Normally I consider SEO to be nonsense and a misuse of resources with a very product-driven site like mine but for what you're doing it might make sense, just remember that traffic will be a fraction of what a solid AdWords campaign will get you. When I was doing SEO and in top position for my #1 keyword the traffic was still under 10% of what AdWords delivered (there's no "content network" in SEO) and the SEO traffic converted very poorly vs. PPC traffic.
