I know some of you already know this, but thought that I wanted to share it with all the people that doesn't yet know about this fool proof way to generate hordes of 1c clicks from Google Adwords.

It's very simple - You first get some banners of the offer you are promoting. (I suggest sending traffic to your squeeze page with this method.) Make sure you get banners of all different sizes. (see all the available sizes on Google Adwords Images)

Next, get as many keywords related to your niche as possible. Use Google Keyword tool for this. You literally need thousands of keywords.

Then Start a google adwords campaign, select content network and images. Now start a new adgroup for each image size you have.

Set all the manual bids to 1c.

You will start getting hundreds of 1c clicks soon.

If you campaings take too long to get accepted, email support telling them.

If you have a compelling squeeze page you can get cheap signups easily this way.

I hope this was helpful.

    Sounds good but i'm not sure i understand 100% what you say.

    Can this strategy (modified a bit ?) be applied to a classifieds website ?

    Thanks

    This can be used for any website. The trick is to use Image ads on Google Adwords. The competition is not that fierce for it. You have to use banners of all available sizes and have as many related keywords for it as possible.

    Ranking on the content network is calculated by your bid and CTR. If you bid one cent, chances are you won't get many impressions, much less traffic. Of course, this is the only foolproof way to pay one cent a click, you simply bid one cent.

    You may be right that not many advertisers use image ads. However, that is not the reason you don't see them as often. The reason also has to do with ranking, calculated as explained above. All types of ads, image and text, are on equal footing. So simply having an image ad does not automatically get it shown. It still has to prove itself with high quality, ie: high click rates. If a text ad is better, it will show more often, not less just because there's an image ad to fill the spot.

    Keywords. Selecting thousands for the content network is simply a bad idea.

      I've never tried content network up to now but I plan one this week. I read in one guide that you shuld go for broad keywords and target specific websites. Getting thousands of keywords I think is not such a good idea.

        If you mean the kw match type, it doesn't matter for the content network. But you don't want to do that. As you say yourself, target specific sites but don't use keywords as well, it just defeats the purpose.

          Sorry, I just reply from my memory. So, if I bid on specific websites, like ezinearticles for example, I can enter just phrase and broad keywords? Or just broad?

      On pages that have 3 blocks of adsense google will often make one display images for some reason. Doesn't happen every time, just a peculiarity I have noticed when you have maximum number of text blocks allowed.

    This method was sold as a WSO by Dordor and I bought it a couple months ago. Sure I got plenty of 1 cent clicks but all of those were from Asia. I got signups and looked at their names and all of them were Asian; in other words non-converting.

    I failed to get considerable impressions in USA/Europe

    Have you ever tracked to see where you get these clicks from?

      You can setup geotargetting in Google. If you dont want asia, dont select asia.

    Is this the kind of traffic one really wants? Where do you think these ads are being placed...lol? Just a thought, but what is your actual conversion rate on these clicks? Let's see if the math works.

    Would this method work if you send all the 1 cent traffic to click on the adsense it offers on the site?

    Like all campains you have to track and test this method to refine it. I suggest you take away the asian countries from the network. ANd test with different products and squeeze pages. Making this profitable definately is possible. Especially for sign ups.

    But i think google only set the adwords campaign for 5 cents at least, if i am not wrong, How do you get 1 cent?

    Redrossero, you only need to enter as a broad match. There is no match type for the content network. Entering as a phrase match works too but is not necessary to do so. I suspect however that using phrase match helps the system and ultimately yourself so I would use phrase matches.

    Ideally you should only have around 5 to 10 keywords in a content network campaign, so that Google knows what your "theme" is. Too many keywords and it gets confused!
