I dont understand how this math is supposed to work...
This truly shocked me.
Now we have 2009 and i constantly see outrageous bids where the math just doesnt work - NOT if you're an affiliate marketer and promote some product which makes you maybe $30 per sale.
You can go on clickbank and eg. look at the "green energy niche"...and look how much bids are for keywords like "make your own solar generator", things like that. <--- just an example!!
While we paid literally a few pennies three years ago we're reaching $0.80++ bids - and how the **** would anyone profit with this?
100 clicks/conversion COULD be possible....70-80 clks/conversion often observed.
All the time i read about so called "super affiliates" who allegedly make a killing w/ clickbank and PPC.
I think, there is no way to "make a killing" except you discovered a super "secret" niche or work down longtails....and have a ultra high converting site like 1:25 or 1:30...and even then it would only add up if you sell something *substantial* in the $60++ range, better $100++
Example: So called "killer niche" reverse phone niche. Of course every vendor in that niche tells you its the best thing since sliced bread.
I had this running for some days, and each sale made me exactly $5.77
Now do your math with your avg click $0.30ish +/-
I am just saying i dont understand those bids anymore, and i dont understand how someone can run profitable bidding $0.80 for some CB product which makes him $35/sale....WONT...WORK...
