So started PPC AM a few weeks ago and i found a great campaign and i'm netting about $100-$150 a day. It's an offer with only a $1.50 payout and my ROI has been about 75%-100% depending on the day. Right now i'm only on Yahoo and MSN...

So where do i go from here??

Obviously i keep tweaking this campaign and trying to squeeze more ROI and look for new places for traffic. Obviously i give adwords a shot....

But in terms of looking for new offers, should i try something new with a higher payout? should i stick to the same industry? Should i look for a very similar offer with a higher Payout? All of the above?

The problem is that i don't have infinite money to spend. I'll prob spend 4-6k this month on my current offer. I can maybe put another 1-2k K into other campaigns. Obviously in a month from now i'll have twice that to spend (assuming my current results keep up).

What would you guys do?

thanks!
 


Keep tweaking and split testing everything. Then scale it to both the search and content networks on Google. That's my $.02
 
software

RGordon,
Congrats on your success so far. I just joined this site recently and I'm inspired when I read stories like yours. I was curious, what type of software have you used to get started?(as far as tracking campaigns, finding keywords etc) I'm also interested in learning PPC.

Instead of optimizing, optimizing, optimizing: get your campaign to a level where you can put the minimal automated work in to get an income stream out. Then move on to your next income stream and set that up. People fall into the trap of getting that extra %.01 conversion out of their campaign instead of starting a new campaign/project.
 
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

As mahzkrieg said, there's no need to keep optimizing and optimizing. You sound pretty satisfied with your current return. Maybe start collecting emails, etc and use those to start marketing similar campaigns.

And of course, try to replicate your success in other markets!

Good job.
 
How do you guys capture the leads yourself? I have seen different ways played out with certain api and feeds but I was curious to see what everyone else does?

Congrats to you Rgordon. I live close to Chicago....You should pm me. I have a few questions and some good suggestions for you as well.
 
diversify.

invest in ways to achieve organic traffic instead of paid clicks.

mitigates risk. then keep doing what you're doing.

I use Wortracker and SEO book keyword suggestion tool.

For tracking keywords and performance i use a custom tracking software not open to the public. A friend of mine made it for himself and a few others and i got in on it. But maybe someday soon it will be live...

But you can find many PHP scripts to use. Do a search on this "gay forum" as they say...

Ha, that "software not open to public" is T202. looks like the guy who made it just announced it here and got nailed! oh well. So that's what i use. But judging by people's reactions, maybe i need to consider something else...
