Been making $20k+ profit via Adwords per month. Ask anything!!

Hei thanks everyone.

had a nice long sleep

So here are some answers...

This depends on the kind of offers you are pushing. After doing testing, you will notice certain patters. You will see what days are most profitable and which days are not as good in terms of ROI.

Small example: Pushing biz op offers works best over the weekends, since people have more time to research that kind of stuff then. So a lot of this comes down to a niche you are in.

SEO services dont work that well over the weekends.

Downside of PPC is that you have to be checking stuff everyday, unless you have someone who manages this stuff for you. (You woudl have to trust them with a lot of stuff in that case)

I do make some money from consulting, less now then back in the day.

Most is from pushing my own services and offers.

Yeah, you are right . Many people have failed in PPC. Mostly due the fact that they just read some ebook and decided to try it out.

And secondly , because they have not spent enough money. They wasted $300 and campaign wasnt profitable and they thought that they failed. When in fact sometimes I lose $1000+ on testing and tweaking.

In terms of what niches to enter. This is kind of ambiguous answer: If you have been doing IM for long enough, you kind of have a good intuition. You have a gut feeling of what works and what doesnt. (not always obviously) But at the same time, if you have enough money to spend on trying and failing, then any niche that you know if profitable for others, will be profitable for you also if you have capital to compete and try it.

Panda is more related to SEO and natural rankings. Though I did experience some changes in regards to original content, before they started rolling out Panda.

Kind of off topic, but there will always be updates, and changes and slaps.
You can either whine and complain and not make money or you can just adapt and change and make money . Its that simple.

haha.. Thanks for standing up for me

Landing pages: Again depends on a niche and what angle you are pushing. If you are pushing web development services, obviously a very proffessional site is needed. If you are doing some weight loss story or a biz op offer where the angle is that you are a newbie and came into a lot of money then not so proffessional sites work best.

But for me the best landing pages with CPA have been where its hidden that you are trying to push CPA offer. Make the main goal of the website something entirely different , but in order to users to do this they need a complete an offer. I had a membership site for picking up women and teaching men skills how to interact with women and build confience, but one of the steps before registration that was recommended was making accounts on 4 dating sites. ($5 per registration was a commission) . So something like that works in every niche..

I normally dont run CPA offers that are on the low end. So everything from $15 payout upwards. And run a lot of services also.

I use both search and content. I always start with search first. At the same time there are niches where there is almost no point in going both.

In terms of penny clicks. Everyone can get them, if target a lot of keywords and real long tier keywords, but more then often you will get into the problem of not converting.

Jason, dont be afraid to spend more money and waste money initially.

One of the best ways to getting paid for adwords account managment is to go to networking events. Or calling up businesses and offering them free $100 adwords credit. ( you can get free vouchers from Google) No one says that they are not interested, and once you set up stuff for them, you can start taking a retainer fee + 10% of the budget spent per month (I was on 2.5% with bigger names in industry)


Interaction is always far more interesting, and I would not know all the questions I need to answer. I think this is pretty good also and in sense more helpful, since I can address specific issues.

And I need to sleep also, hence the reason of unanswered questions.

For myself the biggest budget was $7300 per day. A certain niche exploded and there was a news story featured on this and I capitalized on it fast until other caught on.

You can do most of the stuff with free tools.


I mentioned this earlier, but I do both. Affiliate and my own products..

Many have tried adwords and didn't fair well.

What broad niche categories do you make your money?

How do you decide keywords to bid on?

Do you know beforehand if they will be profitable?

What amount of bankroll do you need to set aside to get a good
profitable campaign off the ground?

Totally unnecessary. He's not selling anything nor is he promoting anything. If you don't want to take him up on the offer, fine. But don't be an a$$hole.

Then exit the thread. Once he starts answering questions, enough experienced folks will know whether he's BSing or not and I'm sure he will be called out if he is.

You have offered zero value to the thread thus far. Why don't you enlighten the place with your own PPC experiences?

I believe the antagonizing/critique should start at least when the OP has already posted some of his advices... hey has the world become so mean for you that it is really so hard to believe that somebody just genuinely wants to offer help?... I don't know man....but they say you are what you think....
one can be analytical & 'civil' at the same time
and I agree with you there wolf...im sure the experts can immediately realize if he's just spreading fallacy.

KohenD sent you a PM please let me know if it is possible.

thanks
