Hi guys.
I got into CPA a few weeks ago and made a few poll pages. I'll use the Sarah Palin page for this example.
I made a poll page and then advertised on Google content networks. I capped my budget at 100/day and then used a program to automatically rotate offers and use the one which gave the highest ROI. My ROI eventually climbed to 300%. These were happy days. I spent 100/d and made back almost exactly 300. I wrote some code to send me SMS alerts if anything went wrong and automatically pause google adwords, etc. I thought I had the whole system automated and set - all my programming skills finally came in handy
As time progressed, more and more people bid on Sarah Palin, and today I realized my bid prices had gone up so high that I ended up trashing the whole page and made some new ones.
I want to try my luck on search engine ppc but it seems that my landing page quality is too low. Even though my CTR is between 1-2%, my bids keep getting raised to 0.20 and 0.30 cents.
I tried everything, including adding about me, home and privacy pages. Adding meta keywords, all the page formatting and necessary tags, etc etc. I used speedPPC and LPGen and still had no luck in increasing my quality score.
Do you guys have any recommendations for a CPA n00b. Please send me a private msg. I'm open to trading my resources: programming, time, or anything else I can provide for some advice as well.
(One thing that I learned from all this is that it really is possible to go from 0 to 300/day in 24 hours and it's possible for anybody to repeat what I've done over and over with more than 1 page as long as you test and track)
Thanks,
-Mike
