I'm trying out some affiliate marketing just to give it a try. Everything has been approved and but i noticed the keywords say eligible and when i highlight over them it says Showing ads: No. and Then I went through the diagnostic and it says its not triggering any ads.

    • Ouch, adwords?

      When i first started, i thought it'd just be as simple as an advert on adwords.

      I lost nearly £100.

      Just to let you know, paid ads on google supposedly attract about 10-20% of the searchers. Then there are factors that draw those 10-20% to certain adverts, then you have the conversion rates on the web page you are linking to (this ranges from 1% to around 10% of click throughs).

      To put it plain and simple, if your keywords get 10000 searches per month, 1000 people might click on an adwords ad. if 300 click on yours, and conversion rate is 3% (1 in 33). That's around 10 people a month. If each add is costing you £1, you are spending £300 a month and you need at least 10 people to break even.

      Unless you know what you are doing, adwords can either give you nothing in return or you can lose money and fast. Industry standard conversion rate is around 2%.

      To bottom line it, ppc is a very dangerous way for a new kid to make money and isn't really that efficient on adwords.
