Hi, i have been using google adwords to promote clickbank products. The Program i am using now is converting pretty good. I am tripleing my investments. Every $350.00 I spend marketing the site on adwords I get about $1000 through clickbank for this one site. So i make $650 after deducting marketing fees.

Well what i was wondering was, is anyone making a higher percentage of roi%, such as quadripleing their investments profit.

What clickbank programs are the highest converting?

Which ones have you succeded with?

If you are making sales of $1000 for every $350 spent, then I would recommend increasing the bid prices.

Generally -

Increase in bid prices = increase in traffic = increase in sales.

By increasing bid prices, you might make sales of $2000 on a spending of $1000. That means you made a profit of $1000 (up from $650).

I agree. I have a campaign that give me a 35% roi giving me a very nice daily profit since I am investing a lot.

vibgyor79,
I have great respect for your AdWords prowess, but my experience with raising bids is that in some cases the rise in traffic may not be much, and sometimes none.

In some cases...

If your position is lower than 4, increase your bid to get in the top three. Trust me, you will see good results.

Wow - that is impressive.

I have found very few thinks in Clickbank that I really felt would convert. I've tried "moving" a few things with no success.

Have had a little luck with CB & Adwords. Its fast & easy to test, please don't plug any programs here.

>>> In some cases...

Point taken. Increase the bid prices and see the stats. Roll-back to the original prices if there is no significant change in traffic.

There will almost definitely be an increase in traffic if your existing ranking is 8.5 or 9 (second page of search results) or 4.2 or 5.00 (just outside AOL top 4).

Bid management for affiliate programs is a bit like shooting arrows in the dark. You do not know the conversion rates of individual keywords.

Is it technically possible to create a code that tracks a sale on an affiliate program? Perhaps we could load the affiliate URL on a frame. Perhaps the code could check the URL in the frame after the "sale" is done and perhaps it could record it as a conversion?

Sounds like a intresting idea but how would the code know a sale is made? If there is something like this out there, please let me know.

Unfortunately, the browser security model will prevent this from working. The tracking frame won't be able to get any information at all (URL included) from the affiliate frame, unless they are somehow hosted at the same domain.

In order to make something like this work, you'd require some sort of cooperation from the affilate program... maybe they'd let you insert a tracking image tag (that points to an image on your server) into their sale pages, or maybe they could make a request to your web server every time a sale is made, etc etc.

Hey,

There is a product that can track your AdGroups/KeyWords when using Affiliate Programs. You have to be able to get the Merchant's help though.

As with CB, I haven't had much success yet either, but currently am using just CB through AdWords. I have tested about 25 different products out through CB, and only 1 has been profitable. You just have to keep testing. I know some people that are keeping over $4000 a month after advertising, just with CB.

I actually have a Blog that deals exactly with this... And I wish I could post it, as I am sure it would help many people out.

C.K.
