Thats a new campaign, and im not going to go anywhere near the numbers they are asking for... would simply bankrupt me! :eek:


Also, after i saw this campaign on she shit burner i decided to make a campaign targetting "cheats" for the website Cheats, Cheat codes and hints - Cheat Genius which does rank awfully well for the keyword "cheats" so, i was expecting 0.04 or something per click due to the highly UNsaturated niche.

the results:


Am i doing some shit wrong? Fucking spent hours on this crap now, i started a new campaign with a different domain for a site i slapped together that got priced up. Added extra pages etc, and the first screenshot is the result of that :anon.sml:
 


yea a couple years ago i had a test campaign for the same keywords, spent around $50 but it was just a test. Again this was just a test, i wouldn't expect to pay that much for these keywords though, ever!

$10 a click? Google can suck my cock

Note: I own a site in that niche, and i get paid often UNDER 0.02 for the same niche keywords...
 
The quality score of your landing page sucks according to google. (Under the keywords tab, click on customize columns and select 'show QS'.) Search around for improving quality score and that should fix your prob.
 
dealasite: one of the websites Cheats, Cheat codes and hints - Cheat Genius which stats are shown in the second screenshot has been online for 4 years, gets over 30,000 people a day and ranks high for the keywords i was targetting in adwords. So why the fuck would google give me a bad score :|?

Edit: Sorry for my hasty response, ive just looked back over my ads with the quality score and it does seem that is the issue (with the first site at least) is the quality score. Can anyone here give me any recommendations on how to improve this score?

Good lord, you run Zanga AND popups. Those "30,000 people a day" must be freaking morons.

The zango is being removed soon with a new design+backend thats being worked on. 80% of our traffic is from google and 95% is non-return traffic. So might aswell exploit the kids that just come to the site dont click my ads and fuck off anyway!

Thanks for the welcome pfgannon your from vgamin im guessing?

Btw, i think JennyAppleseed has issues :eek:
 
Did you ever think that you only have a 5% return rate because of the ads? Or have you tried without the popups?

The search network and content network are totally seperate. When it says $10 minimum bid, the ad will still run on content. I would venture to guess not to many people are paying more than 5 cents a click on content for US cheat code traffic.. toss in all the international and a penny a click might be pretty good.
 
I reakon its a few things, design, domain (i now have the .com off a parker $2250 yay? grr), the ads etc

The new design is far far far better and im hoping return traffic should pick up
