Well, it’s day two and after a loss yesterday – things can only look better, ey? Well, they do! I decided to scrap AdSense and went with one of my favorite affiliate companies Market Leverage. I chose these over the other companies because they have a lot of UK offers, and as the campaign was targeted for the UK that was perfect.

So lets get down to the number crunching. Yesterday, I spent $6.25 on AdWords which is only $1.25 more than yesterday. That is nowhere near my daily budget of the campaign which is $15. I want to also point out that Google did actually slap me this morning as I also changed the content to gear it towards email submits. However, after 3 hours I recovered from the slap and got my old rate of $0.05 per click back!

Here is my spending vs earnings:

As you can see, I earned $32.55 at the end of the day. That’s exactly 21 leads I generated. I was getting $1.55 per email as you can see, and I got a pretty good EPC of $0.34 which means I could pay upto $0.34 in AdWords per keyword and I would still break even. However, the campaign has a single keyword (a name) and I only had to pay $0.05. I only had one competitor, which was The Sun news paper who were ranking 1-2 as well.

I won’t be telling you my ads or my keywords for obvious reasons, but at the end of the week I shall be sharing information, techniques etc. Subscribe to my blog, and add it to your reader to keep yourself updated.

I will most likely find more niches and advertise into those. If it’s possible to make $32.55 in one day with one, it will surely be possible to make $325.50 a day with 10! That’s providing they all do well ;)

Stay tuned!

Seems as though you may have stopped this method? Did you get google slapped again? Can’t wait to see day 3.

Nah, not stopped. Running the campaign still. I recovered the slap and still stayed at my low price of 5cents a click. Everything slowed down at night, so it should pick back up within the next few hours when every one in the UK wakes up!

Oh, I thought that I guessed the “name” and offer you were using. Good Luck on Day 3.

Thanks for the idea. It’s given me outside-the-box thinking on how i can improve on this method.

Thanks Sohan!

Using adsense to drive traffic and make money can be done, but it is usually a low margin business that requires weeks or testing to find the right formula.

Before you drop money on AdSense, think outside the box for ways to drive traffic to your sites. Online video, social networking, and email auto responders have worked best for me in the past.

Good Luck!
