Started first Google Campaign, couple of questions.

What kind of number is "21,17429"?

Also, with that few clicks are you making any sales? For my campaigns, a good rule of thumb is, if I'm not getting 500clicks within the first hour, a few things probably suck, either my image or ad text...
Sorry, that was a paste error. I got 21,174 impressions and 29 clicks.

500 clicks in the first hour? That's unimaginable to me. So far I have clicks mostly in the single digits, so all of my ads must suck, which is confusing because I took a lot of care writing them, and looked at other people's FB ads and can't imagine anybody would click on them. No conversions either. Maybe I should raise my bids and drive more impressions. I don't know. :(

Making any kind of changes to ads is a major pain in the ass with the slow approvals. My ads took almost 12 hours to be approved, and I'm still waiting for the other two.

That is not a "good rule of thumb". Maybe for certain niches, but to say that is a general rule of thumb is bollocks.

Read again.

I said "For my campaigns". Not "A general rule of thumb."

To the other fb guy, try finding better images. Don't just continually raise your bids. That may help to a certain point, but after that you're just costing yourself more money than is necessary. A great image will get you a high ctr and therefore cheaper clicks. Now, if you're running a "niche", i.e. smaller demo, you should be getting an even higher ctr. My demos are in the multiple millions and I'm seeing ctrs upwards of .22. In a smaller demo, of around 300k, I see upwards of .7. Keep working on the images.
 
Thanks for hijacking my thread cock smoker.
Oh and I lost $118 already and made 1 conversion. paused the shitty ads that weren't converting well and removed the keywords that are not getting clicks. Upped my CPC to .66cents to get a better CTR and burned $116 in like 3 hours. 260 click's 1 sale...
I'm giving up. Fuck my life.
 
Hey man, give up if you want, but losing $118 isn't that much... lots of people on here have burned through a lot more during their newb months. There's no reason you can't refine and turn it around, or find a new product and give it another go.

Maybe stay away from your "if ur not wasted a day is" motto when creating campaigns?

ok, ok, ok, calm down & lets reflect.

What Are you promoting, I'm not asking for the exact product or whatever, I'm asking are you doing CPA offers or going for sales? and if so what kind of sales? Don't tell me clickbank or i will hand you the gun myself so you can end it all here right now.

give us/me a better rundown of what your promoting and we'll take it from there.

Oh and if this is your first run at AM god help you! no one said it was easy.

Sticks, It is clickbank. How come I see so many people making money with it if it sucks so bad? I am not disagreeing with you. I hope that's why I failed cause it's clickbank and not that im a retard. I was promoting a TINNITUS clickbank product with my landing page which is a flog. I do Belong to Hydra, Neverblue, COPEAC, Market Leverage also.

Ok now we are getting somewhere, drop clickbank now and start promoting physical products, don't even bother with CPA right now if your just starting with AM and PPC.

You do know where to find products to promote don't you?

Go and check them out and choose a product and do a review style, either centered on one product or three different products, this is all elementary shit by the way.

PPC: Bid only on product names when starting out, i'm not gonna get advanced on your ass so just do this for now, make sure you are allowed to bid on product name's etc etc.

Start with only one to two keywords.

Bid only on exact match to start, in fact exact is all i ever bid on.

You will need to bid high & i mean $5.00 per click high to get your ctr's up and to test the best possible ads, but the trick is to set your daily budget to 20 or 50 dollars, whatever you feel comfortable losing, because this money will be a loss wether you like it or not, then what we do is when you have tweaked your ads, LP etc etc, you will lower your bids to what goog actually charges you & increase daily budget profit permitting, from there it's all about testing different positions for max profitability etc etc.

You want ideas for LP's? check out your fucking competition and start thinking outside the box ok, or simply get ideas.

Read this until your head is aching http://www.wickedfire.com/affiliate...eted-ads-get-highly-converting-campaigns.html im serious.

Thanks sticks Yeah I know where to get ideas, ask my AM...

I will create a review style page and give this a go. Should I do what my AM says he tells me Skin Wrinkle Cream & Teeth Whitening is where it's at. I feel like that's so saturated. I guess I'll have to just test shit myself. Thanks for all your help.:hollering:

Follow my outline, nothing is saturated.

This is how you break into saturated markets without losing your shirt.

Once again, I advise you not to start out doing CPA.

And once again, do you fucking know where to find physical products to promote?

No, I thought I was going to do CPA, where do I find physical products to promote? Just google a product and ask if they have an affiliate program?
 
Why not promote items on CPA networks?

Shitty payouts & and it costs a LOT more time and money for testing.

Up to you though.

Unless the networks you are with have PPS aswell.

And if you don't know what your doing google and co. will slap your virgin ass for "data collection & rebill shit, shady ringtones, etc etc,

(Your ass is a virgin isn't it?)
 
Sticks- thats some solid advice for a newb..most here just spam them some spinning penises...nice work. I dunno if hes listening tho...
PPC for physical products is a good start for sure..if he wants to run FB with CPA, et al...he better get about 2-3k to burn for some experience imho...I know I walked through thousands before I got some traction...
 
I'm with all of the BIG CPA networks. I am kinda virgin. But I know most of the shit. Been reading everthing on here for almost 2 years, been reading cashtactics, nickycakes... I just need to waste more $ and keep trying I guess. Thanks for your help though. I am actually shocked I am getting good advice and not MeatSpinned. I guess you guys do help people when they show they are trying, which my original post shows. Thanks again. I signed up to shareasale also.
