Bidding War

by Chirag
6 replies
Hey Guys,

Wanted to check with you guys on how do you manage a bidding war for ppv traffic. I change it and next thing I know after 5 mins someone has outbidded me and when I change it again the next 5 minutes later I've been outbidded.

Any thoughts/ideas how I can manage this?

Thank you.


Regards,
Chirag

    There are 2 ways i deal with bidding way
    1) Bid high enough and make that keyword unprofitable so your competitor will give up on it
    2) Try to stay in 2 and 3 position and see if there is still volume

    hope this helps

    I agree with eric56hk, and ....

    3. Find a new keyword.

      Thanks All! Appreciate your feedback.

      Based on Greedy's comments above, are there any interesting/unique ways I can uncover more keywords. Currently I'm only bidding on URLs.

      Thank you.

    if you're in a bidding war for a profitable keyword then prepare to be on stand by at all times if you want to maintain #1 spot. It's quite tiring.

    One of the things about ppv is you don't always need to be the top bidder, you can slot yourself down to a lower spot for cheaper clicks and let everyone else have the bidding wars
