What would you do? PPC

[Rage9]

So I'm running my first PPC campaign, found a good product that according to CJ will convert very well, but I can't help but be discouraged that its not doing anything at all - like my auto blogs.

Three days ago I started this campaign, a really small one, like I haven't even got 100 clicks in the last three days. But it's a start [because my buget].

Out of my 13 keywords, I have got clicks on five. My highest clicked ad keyword I'm averaging 5.3 place when based on my bid [according to yahoo] I should be averaging 1.8 I'm bidding .60 and according to yahoo top position bids on that keyword going for .64 to .53 which is why I don't get why my average is soooo low!

I also changed my ad to be more targeted [using the keyword insertion on ads]. I changed it for about a half a day before changing it back because my CTR dropped like a fucking rock!

Still not a hint of conversion according to CJ, which sucks. Those other 8 keyword that don't have a click, do you think I should drop them? They are not getting many impressions at all.

Any encouragement would be great.

I see you're going by the "book"... that stuff doesn't really work in the IM world.. you gotta be creative and think outside the box. Spend some time reading up all the "book" stuff..just search this forum.. then try to do the best you can your OWN WAY to make it big.

Also, a 100 clicks isn't shit... maybe a 1000 clicks would get you a better idea.. there are so many variables, your keywords are you at exact match? if at broad do you have negative keywords? what's your landing page like? just because everybody else at your network is making money on your offer is making money doesn't mean that you will

yeah dude..100 clicks is too little to make a sound judgment. Get at least 500 clicks and test, test, test.
