... all thanks to WF!
I've been a big lurker here for quite some time, really read a lot and... Read more and... just read more, but never took action thinking it wouldn't work localized (meaning doing the thing you guys do in the US, I'd want to do it in the Netherlands).
A couple days ago I received a free voucher for adwords so I thought, what the heck let's try something... I took a very original niche (ringtones
), made a pretty php script to give me couple 1000 keywords related to ringtones (and all synonyms of it, also couple hundreds based on x-mas ringtones) with the knowledge I got from here (buy-keywords, good ad text, ...), setup a campaign, got a landings page made and started it.
Got 15 (euro)cent clicks and got around 80 clicks the first day. Second day I got 54 clicks and I stopped the campaign then. Why? Because I didn't see any sales getting in (using TradeDoubler). Yesterday I checked TradeDoubler again, seeing I made 6 sales which equals 45 euro (about $66) for 2 days, ROI of about 150%! Pretty killing I'd say. So I started up the campaign again =)!
My last question is really, my conversion rate is ~4%, which is pretty low I'd say, on the other hand my clicks are really cheap so I could care less, but for the record, what are regular conversion rates on ringtone offers in the US?
Just want to say a BIG THANK YOU to all of you contributers and to give something back, here's the (really basic) PHP file I used to pump out my keywords, it's not the best but it works well for me... Try it
