First post so be gentle. :D

So I have spent the past week learning about PPC and getting a website set up to practice my graphic design/website building. Which ad networks are most likely to approve someone new to the business?

From what I have gathered, this is the workflow for a new campaign.

Choose Ad -> Keyword Research -> Blog Page/Landing Page Design -> Set up your PPC campaign through AdWords etc. etc. -> Analyze Data through the AdNetwork/Prosper202 type tracking to figure out which keywords are profiting.

Is this correct or am I missing steps?
 


missing steps....
lose money
figure out how to stop losing money
make money


im stuck on the figure out step
 
I figured losing money was a given based on reading the info. Oh another question I had about websites, which is typically better a 1 page graphic landing site or a blog type site with a few articles?

Depends. Big 3, you're gonn need some content and a lota other things to get your Quality Score up. Tier 2/3, anything goes bro.

Honestly, everything above, all this double checking if you're doing it right, you'll get an answer faster if you just go out and try it.

Example: You direct link an offer on google, blow through your daily spend. Get some conversions, hell maybe you get lucky and get most of your money back. Now the question is , which keywords? OH SHIT you forgot to set up prosper. Not only that, you didn't use dynamic keyword insertion.

Lessons like that stick with you. Sure you blow some cash, but at least you don't waste days overplanning a campaign when you coulda been banking by your "researched" launch time.

PS: I think you got it down. Don't forget to put {keyword} at the end of your prosper url. Good luck!
 
Roger that, and appreciate the information. I definitely want to act ASAP and get this going.

The only thing I would like to know now is which Ad Network would work with someone new like myself.

Permission to give him the secret spin on PPC. Mods?
 
Slightly off topic question here. I used to do a ton of volume with adwords but haven't done much lately.

But whenever i make a new campaign now i get 0 traffic 0 impressions. The ads are aproved everything seems fine the bid is matched for first place. But i get 0 impressions. Even on like 100s kws not 1 impression. Did they ninja ban me and not tell me about it ? I still got $ in that account.
 
I applied to several networks today. I just got into Commission Junction and applied to CXDigital, Clickbooth and tried Azoogle. For some reason Azoogle's website won't accept my application so still trying to get that together.

Check in like a day or so after my ads were approved, i noticed the same thing, i check throughout the day and nothing, the following morning i wake up and had 48 clicks no conversions but at least they were running
