PPC Check to Me, Adwords Check to Google :-(

Posted by Rick  Published in Affiliate, Google, Marketing

I did it again!  I got a $100 check from my PPC-Adwords site and I turned right back around and spent it all on more Ads :-/  turns out though, the $100 was only $40 profit.  Out of that $100, $60 went to Adwords, I spent $10 on BloggingsMostWanted and $7 Ryan Shamus’ ebook. 

I don’t quite want to say much more about my PPC click site because I don’t want to skew the click stats at this point.  I’m heavily into the research stage.  I actually made $79 on my first $3 in Ads.  I got overly-confident…  then I let the Adwords software pick keywords for me, and then it took me $57 in Ads to make my next $21 :-(

That next $21 took me 15 days too.  Well, this weekend I actually took the TIME to look at my keywords and I drastically reduced it to just a few that made good sense and I upped the daily budget and upped the max $ per click.  I figured I had $40 profit to “play” with before I went back in the hole. 

Good news, today I made $13 $18.50 from a sale with only $3 $5 in Ads. 

Hopefully that trend will stay for a while, or better yet, get back to where it was in the beginning and I can pump more money into it.

I’ll keep you posted.
