Understanding Search Traffic Intentions

Nope, I didn't miss your point. You only got 160 clicks to your ad and just 82 clicks to the offer. It's not enough data to confirm one way or another no matter how targeted your keywords are. The next 160 clicks might result in 10 conversions. You really need thousands of clicks tested over different time periods of the day before you can even begin to come to any type of conclusions.
You mention you are pushing 2 of the most popular diet products (which I assume one is Acai) ... if you are bidding on those keywords you are going to have a tough time competing against networks who are doing their own bidding and getting a MUCH higher payout than you.
All I can say if you picked the wrong niche at the wrong time if you are a new to the game at all. No offer runs well for long right now and the conversions rates from one to the next are dramatically different so unless you picked the 1 out of 30 that is converting well at that moment you won't convert regardless of what kind of mode the user is in. The reason for this gets involved but I strongly suggest you start with another niche or you will most likely eat up your budget and get very frustrated unless you know and have been in the acai game for a while now. I have someone I was helping and he decided to try it and he gave up because he lost over 1k rather quickly.
I haven't been in the game long but I'm finding direct linking with one field offers is proving to be good practise and I've made some money in it so far. You have to seek out the reliable offers though.
From what I've seen direct linking is hard sometimes cause of other people running the same offer already + QS issues..
search is a bitch, especially for people new to the game. it sounds like you have great work ethic and a budget.
really, try other shit. no qs issues.
Yea you're certainly right. I am going to give the content network a try. Any other suggestions on sources other than search?
I really thought it would be a lot easier than it has been. I'll get it down eventually, but I need something profitable soon or my I'm going to lose my head fast.
About the QS issues, I was just referring to direct linking. I've never had any QS issues with my own landing pages..
Try Acai on content network right now and you will be slapped right away. Just one more reason it's not the best niche to start with right now. You seem to be on the right track so I would suggest trying the same tactics you are following with other easier niches. I would also recomment trying ysm and msn also as it's often much easier to convert stuff there than on big G and traffic in most cases costs less.
Haha nice pic..
Thanks..I've been meaning to try YSM and MSN lately. I always kept saying that once I put together something profitable on Adwords I'll branch it off, but that hasn't happened yet..
I'm comfortable with the Adwords interface and the Adwords editor so I'll mess with it for a little longer. Does YSM + MSN have a desktop editor also?
I'm gunna try out specific-placements on the content network for real targeted offers and see what I can pull together. I just find it really hard to choose what to promote - but I know it's all about testing so I'll just have to keep at it.
Yahoo supposedly has a desktop tool coming out sometime this year. Msn adcenter has one that has been in beta forever but works well as I have been using it for over 6 months already. According to another thread it's now out of beta but the only signup I could find still shows it being in beta/pilot.
Don't know if this will help, but many affiliate say not to confuse your customer with too many offers on one page. Also how will you know which offer converts best if you are running several offers on one campaign? That is if I understand what you are doing correctly. Remember you need sufficient and accurate data and even then you are only making an educated guess than minimizes your risk. what works for a while doesn't work for fever, that's why you need to constantly monitor your campaigns.
P202 takes care of tracking without a problem. Split pages rotate the offers to give them all a fair chance. I found multiple offers on a page in comparison style lead to higher click throughs, even higher if you add similar products at the end.
I don't fuck with these products, but I do know they've got a ton of heat on them... maybe why?
