1 cent google adword clicks

[jkiley]

The other day I did some research and found several links which tell you how to do 1 cent google adword ads. Here is one of those links 1c Clicks from Adwords, Tricks to get Cheap Adwords Clicks, Reduce Adwords Cost

Seemed so simple that I jumped all over it. Created the ad and waited for it to be approved. Still waiting. It has been a week.

Anybody else has any experience with it?

Yup, it's a common ppc practice but definitely not going to get 1 cent clicks with any profitable keywords!

I just recently did a promotion on adwords and got cheaper clicks on the content network than I would have had they been on search.

There's a WSO here about one cent Adwords advertising.

It was chosen as the "WSO of the day" recently too.

hmmm... but does it work or will you have to wait forever for google to approve your ad?

My advice to anyone "hooked" on the idea of 1 cent clicks is to shift your thinking to getting clicks that give you solid conversions and a positive ROI regardless of what you pay for the click. He'll id pay 10 bucks a click if I'd make at least 30% ROI day in day out 365...

I am also waiting for the approval from Adwords Google to my 2 cent banner ads with content network. Almost one week. Any help?
Thanks

I made a campaign in the content network 10 days ago,
still waiting too...

Nobody works in Google?

I get the same campaign in Yahoo content network and is live and running in one day
(Ok, the traffic is not the same but..)

[KenThompson]

LOL ... I see not much has changed over at the funny farm. I waited
for a 'few days' to get my content network sides of my search campaigns
approved several years ago.

I stopped enabling content network because it was just annoying.

Now you know what 'low priority' means at g.

Have fun, kids!

Just from this thread..it seems like lot of us are waiting in line to pay to google and they are not even lisening to us.

Google is done

And even if they are profitable, they soon won't be when other people jump on the bandwagon. If it's too good to be true...it probably is!

They are not worried about penny spenders. They never have been and with good cause.

They are not even worried about folks who spend $10k a month.

If you want their time and attention, try spending $10k a day, the way that "the 10% of customers who provide them 90% of their income" do.

Totally agree.

I got one of these 1cent per click methods and I feel a bit bitter. I ship semi-heavy goods that require UPS, therefore it has to be only in the USA for now. I realized, afterwords, In order to get cheap clicks you need to enable international traffic. I don't need international clicks because I don't ship internationally.

So I have enabled only USA traffic. I even upped the bidding to 10cent per click. In 3 week I got 8 impressions, no clicks.

It might be a good tool if you sell, e.g. ebooks....or 1c click methods....

You better know this.

Any success story as far as tracked conversions?

[FollowSuccess]

When ever I create a whole mess of ads, I'll wait one day, then the next day I'll contact google about my campaign and they will automatically approve them the next morning. Works every time. Don't go to over board with it though.

[thebitbotdotcom]

Cool. Thanks. As an Adsense publisher, I will be sure and anti-implement these techniques.

[MichaelParsons]

I'm trying the 1c click thing as well, but after reading this post I've reset my bid to .50. Maybe then I'll get G approved.

Is .50 on Display network like 'Brute Force' tactic on search network, meaning is .50 overkill on display network?

Just ran a test on G Display network. YES, .50 bid is overkill, I changed it to .25, and that's even a lot. Of my 300+ clickthroughs (on a $25 intitial test budget), the highest CPC was .19, so I'm lowering my bid to .10, as a majority of the clicks were under a dime.

BTW I had an average CTR in excess of 1% using one of the basic G supplied "Most Popular" templates.

Guys, please tell me:

Is that possible to get 1 cent CPC on content network targeting USA!
I used to generate thouthands of impressions some days ago targeting all countries and territories at 1 cent a click.
But for USA traffic the ads are just not running!

What difference does it make ater all between Worldwide and USA targeting in terms of bidding?
And how can I get 1 cent click for USA?

[John Hocking]

Bid what you can afford to start the campaign. Once the ads has been approved you can lower your bid.

The key in the beginning is to be careful what keywords you target to minimize you cost and exposer if you are not constantly monitoring the ad to check when it approved.
