I pulled the plug on this.
I dont know, as a somewhat beginner, I burned through another bit of cash and only converted one more offer.

According to prosper, the last conversion came from the content network. And I have a feeling the first two did as well.

Not too much of a loss but still a loss.
Moving on to a new offer.

What kind of research did you do to pick that offer?
Have you tried to day part like others have suggested?
Do you know if other people are converting on that keyword/keywords?
So what are you going to do with the landing page?

Good questions.
I guess I should say I'm not planning on pulling the plug entirely.
I just pulled the plug for now.

I have a rough idea on what is converting but I need to plan it out.
AS for parting the sales, also hard to say.. two sales came in the AM while one happened over night.

At least you tested, more than can be said about many other n00bs in here.
Hopefully you learned something that you can take with you on other campaigns.

Sure did. Moving upwards on onwards or however it goes.

I learned that I need to learn more about keyword research and develop a bigger list so I can drive traffic and lots of it without paying to compete with the top dogs.
 
you should have separated out your campaigns by search and content if you haven't already done so. If you used google conversion tracking you could also break out your conversions on the content network traffic by site using placement reports and find out which sites are converting and which sites are sucking out your money. A few sites on the content network are notorious for having high traffic but low conversions (depending on the niche)

Yeah it does. Sounds like you've learned quite a bit just from reading your posts above.

Sounds like you'll be able to turn your clicks into a profit soon enough, just keep crackin at it and reduce your spending for testing.
