I’ve just completed my first Clickbanks.net Affiliate Campaign using Google Adwords, and I’d like to share my results and ask for advice from more experienced marketers.
I’m using the campaign management methods outlined in Michael Tandiono Affiliate Blueprint 1.0, using Affiliate Prophet for tracking and also Google Adwords Editor, Market Samurai & Speed PPC. I’ve also started using Affiliate Espionage to research my next campaigns.
My first campaign currently with an increasing gravity of 511, commission of $33 and 6.8% refund rate. I monitored the ads for a week or so prior to starting my campaign and found several which had been running for over 7 days. I bid on approx 90 keywords, average position 2-4.
After 17 days I’ve had –
* 18 Net sales of $580
* Average of 60-100 clicks per day costing $750
* So I’m down about $170
I’m uncertain about what conclusions to draw…

a day, the sites are affiliate sites earning comission per free sign up plus a attractive bonus for signing up in a popular niche, all the sites have weak compettion and are PR0 with the keyword in the url and few backlinks, my question is would it actually be worth while to own these sites with only 10 visitors a day?
for each sign up I will get 15

To be honest, when I read the title of this blog post at SEO.com in my reader, I was expecting more. However, it raises a great point we don’t often hear about.
The idea of using averages to measure out the competition level of a niche/vertical/industry.
Anyone doing it this way?
Or are you mostly relying on data provided from SEO Elite, Market Samurai, TT, and manual indicators right now?
SEO.com hasn’t been known as the best SEO resource site on the web, but they revamped a few months ago and have been doing a much better job from what I have seen.

I have been using it for a couple of months now and I love it. The problem is, either I can’t find a niche without too much competition or I simply don’t understand the numbers to proceed.
What would be even better is if there is some who lives in Sydney I can get together with.
