Hey Warriors

Just after some advise..

I am running a adwords campaign set to worldwide...

The product i am promoting is in US dollars.. I know this sounds weird why would i have a adwords campaign set to worldwide if i am promoting a product in US Dollars...

Well as you properly know people who buy in US dollars are not only from USA.. ( Myself included 99.9% of my purchases are in US dollars I am not from USA)

So what countries would you never bid on??



And what counties would you mainly target??

USA, Canada, Australia ??

    • Canada
    • Germany
    • Ireland
    • New Zealand
    • Norway

    I'd stay clear of China as they use a different type of credit card system that is not accepted by most payment processors.

    It really depends on the product more than anything. For example, if I'm selling hamburgers made of yummy tasty cows, I'm probably not going to bid in India.

        Would you target US for "How To Become a Certified Troll"?

    For my niche (not make money online, seo, weight loss or insurance), I target USA and Canada only.

    I think which countries to include is a topic of conjecture. I actually get a bunch of sales from weird, random countries.

    But I can tell you with certainty which countries I bid on personally, and this is what I've found to work best.

    For Facebook PPC I typically bid on the following:
    USA, UK, NZ, CAN, AUS

    For any other PPC I ONLY bid on the United States.

    The reason I do this is largely based upon my own personal statistics and what works best for me and the products I promote.

    When experimenting with other PPC sources, I found that any traffic outside USA to be inferior. (Other people have statistics very different from my own. So it's best to test on your own).

    If my product is based on "Racism" I would definitely won't bid on US.
