Hi All,
I created a site in the health niche (about hair loss)

allhealthproblems[dot]com/overview-provillus-fight-baldness-hair-loss/

Replace the [dot] with .
I used Adwords, with my 1st 100$--> I had 51 clicks to my page, 17 clicks to my affiliate offers and 1 sale with 40$

so my 2 questions are

1) What to do to have more visitors click on the offer so I can increase the affiliate offer clicks

2) What to do to get people to subscribe to my autoresponder (by the way, I have Double confirm feature, I cannot change it single as it is a policy by this autoresponder)

    adwords is tough right now. I suggest you look into their banner advertising as you can get cheaper clicks because of less competition

    First off, you need to design or get a high-converting squeeze page to get the emails of your visitors. The thank you page of the landing page should be an offer of a top-selling product at Clickbank. You must know that the value of each subscribers of your landing page might be worth $5+. If you need help, you can hire a ppc expert at Odesk or Elance.

    You might want to also test Reddit ads, Facebook ads, and Stumbleupon ads. I know with Stumbleupon, you would've received at least 1,000 visitors for $100. Probably not as targeted but it's worth testing.

      One thing a lot of people mess up when they first start with Adwords is neglecting the power of negative keywords. Look through your stats and see if there are inappropriate keywords that are attracting clicks. Add them to the negative list.

      As an example, I used to promote the box set of DVDs for the series "Friends" during the Christmas shopping season. I noticed that there was also a DVD set for the kiddie show "Thomas and Friends" which was getting me clicks. Adding any keywords related to the show or the Thomas the Tank Engine character cut my Adwords spend in half.

      Remember, negative keywords are your friends...

      Sam, my .02 is there is some terrible advice on this thread you should chuck into the digital waste bin. In particular, someone saying you should use a squeeze page and promote a ClickBank offer. That will get you banned from using AdWords.

      As for your questions, you need to pick. Do you want visitors to click on your affiliate link, or sign up for a newsletter?

      Pick one and focus the page around getting that one act.

      Personally, I'd pick the affiliate link and not a squeeze page, especially when using AdWords.

      (You can always have multiple pages you send PPC traffic to and split test your results, so this is not an all or nothing proposition.)

      To increase clicks on your affiliate link I would go overboard with lots and lots of testimonials, pictures, proof, and the FDA approval. Right now, the page has a bare minimum of testimonial information and proof. The first sentence at the top of the page is passively weak. That is where I would start.

      .
