    I made my first Adwords sale

    Yayyyyyyy

    This is a bit tricky, and i just barely broke even with my first sale.. but it doesn't matter... i expect to lose a lot before i get the hang of it - just like any business

    Can anyone point me to any good reading material? it would be much appreciated

            If you want to make any kind of real money with adwords be prepared to lose $10k before you get the hang of it.

                  Golden rule with adwords is to try to persuade people not to click the link.

                        breaking even with traffic when you run your own paysites is extremely good

                                          Ok so would you have your description as :

                                          "CLICK HERE FOR FREE PORN"

                                          or

                                          "$4.95 GETS YOU 3 DAYS ACCESS TO THE BEST HARDCORE SITE"


                                          I lowered my spend by 90% by taking this approach and increased revenue by 450% as I could buy in alot more words.

                                          Please help me have a clue you fucking tard.

                                                      His company - relishxxx.com - was set up for just £2,000 two years ago, and is today worth an estimated £3.5m
                                                      I have DVD sales world wide, vending machines in thousands of pub and bar toilets across Europe dispensing my DVDs. Want to talk cash with me you little boy?

                                                      BTW when I only had £3.5m that was a year ago and we have more than increased the vending machines and DVD sales by well over 500%.

                                                                I lowered my spend by 90% by taking this approach and increased revenue by 450% as I could buy in alot more words.

                                                                Please help me have a clue you fucking tard.
                                                                While I can see instances where this would be effective (on terms that no one else is bidding on), most of the time you want to get a higher CTR. A higher CTR increases your ad score and thus allows you to pay less for a click and stay in the same or higher position. The key is really filtering out the garbage terms and focusing on those that convert highest.

                                                                Aren't you having a tough time keeping keywords active with low CTR?

The key is really filtering out the garbage terms and focusing on those that convert highest.

                                                                          Aren't you having a tough time keeping keywords active with low CTR?
                                                                          No my words are quite specific plus it is British traffic. We shoot alll our own content and alot of the girls are exclusive (not contract but they just do hardcore for us). Because we have this content it works and we pay fuck all with google and make a very good return.

I suggest doing a keyword report once a week at least, and combining it with your sponsor stats in a spreadsheet. Track every click as close as you possibly can so you know which ones to stop wasting money on to increase profit.
