Trying my hand at affiliate marketing: Part 2

Today’s edition: Google adwords.

I joined Neverblueads and found that I like their system more than Commision Junction.  After browsing around for a bit, I found a handful of offers that looked pretty easy and set up a few landing pages.  I then created a few campaigns with adwords and waited.

Day 1

Revenue: $5

Costs: $0.25

Profit: $4.75

Day 2

Revenue: $10

Costs: $7.71

Profit: $2.29

Lessons learned

  1. People are gullible idiots.
  2. The offers I’m running convert on an email submit.  These are very easy and desirable.
  3. Of the two ad groups that are making me money, one is severely outperforming the other.  There’s still a few hours left in the day, so tomorrow I’m going to take a look at my numbers and possibly pull the 2nd ad group.

    Congrats on the profits! How is your quality score? QS for zip/email submit landing pages can be a real pain.

    Well my quality scores were fine until sometime last night. Today I woke up to find they’d all fallen through the floor.
