ok so look at the difference between these 2 sites
http://www.freebudgetingsoftware.com/
http://www.budgetingapplications.com/
both are aff offers, 1 is designed to provide information early in the buying cycle the other is designed to sell the product once the person has decided they need a budgeting tool. look at how the pages are set up. Jerxs on your page you are giving the person to many ways to click before reading your copy. don't even tell them they are getting the trial until the end of the page. get them to read and then believe and BAM here try it just pay for shipping,

Right now I have an ad that reads like this;

FREE Anti-Wrinkle Cream
Clinically Proven Formula
Act Now! Limited Time Offer
http://CellaDermSkin.com

I am thinking that the FREE might be a little to much and although everyone loves free stuff, I think that most people might also see a red flag when the word FREE is worked into an ad.

Ok I see the difference in the two and it makes allot of sense.

I got through most of that book and one of the things it mentions is selling with compelling content and not a straight pitch. Which makes allot of sense, no one wants to be fed a huge ad, its a turn off.

I have read that placing a call to action at the top of the page is good practice, in the case that someone that is not interested in infomation, but just wants to buy. Do you think its better to leave this out?
 
Jerxs - I have never had any luck with an aff link at the top. I have only been doing this for 8 months, successfully for about 4. the person that just wants to buy usually will go to the bottom of the page!
 
Well, I got some work done today, I am now running a keyword list of about 1500 long and short tail keywords "Thanks gos out to a member of this forum!", I really had no idea just how many combinations and related keywords could be conjured up from one simple phrase!

I have also made an attempt to inform rather than all out sell to potential buyers. I think its gonna take me awhile to get good at write ad copy. If youd like check it out let me know what yah think New Ad Copy

I might just dump the before and after completely, I cant find any place for it, not only that it looks a little grose.

Chris, do know of any other e-books on this subject?

Thanks a million guys
Jer
 
Ya might want to change

"What you need to know about wrinkles"

to

"All you need to know about wrinkles."


Just an idea.

Spelling:
"with specific treatments designed for each"
"I am writing to let you know just how pleased I am with your product. I'm a waitress that has been plagued with fine lines and wrinkles"

It's looking pretty good now.
 
Has anyone when running a promotion done any offline promoting? Newspaper ads, flyers .....

Also I am having a hell of a time trying to bring in traffic here, the main reason is because my budget is thin, even after including all of those keywords I am not getting many impressions or clicks.

Say you had $300 a month to spend on a promotion like this, would you spend it on a few thousand .05 clicks or choose a few highly targeted keywords and bid high enough to get into the top 1-3 ($1.00 to $3.00 a click)?
 
I probably should have, but I am dug in to deep with this project now to just let it go. Im going to make this work! If I have to take from another project to make this one work I will, but Id like to do what I can with about $300.
 
Just keep going, but in the meantime try something else. You'll hit the jackpot eventually!
 
Jerxs, don't have any other ad copy books, I do have some concerns though when you said you have 1500 keywords. Are alot of these words general like wrinkle cream or are they specific to something? you said something about combinations of words etc. could you show me what you are doing, I ask because I would be interested in just how specific this is. maybe just pm me. I might be off base but I think you are going to have trouble with a keyword list that big on this account, I am using 25 keywords on mine, non of the others I tried converted.
 
25?

Ok, I was the one who mentioned going with a large keyword list. Chris is advising the opposite thing, so I guess we should explain this.

Chris, the way I go about it is to develop an adgroup around one very targetted keyword like such:

red widgets
red widget
red wiget
red widet
red widgets site
red widgets dot com
red widgets online
best red widgets

Do this with broad, exact and phrase matches and I already have 24 keywords that are really just a variation of one phrase.

Do this a few times and I have campaigns with thousands of keywords that seem to do nicely.
