Yes, I think your 100% correct. Every word is crucial and probably my big downfall, that and not taking much notice of how much per click I'm paying. I used to just make sure I was #1 or close to it and that obviously was costing me too much!

My first tries with adwords were horrible...after doing a lot of campaings that cost me money i finally found something perfect making me very easy money with a 30% ctr.

But google refuses to give me any clicks for it anymore :/

I started with over 1k clicks in a day...now im at 50 clicks or so costing me 3 bucks whatever while my budget for the campaign is 120 bucks.

It really pisses me off.

Yeah better go after small niches...... Sex and Porn keywords will kill you unless you have experience :winkwink:

For some reason they won't sell adword spots for the term "sex" to adult companies. Well, I can see the reason, I just think it's stupid.

Newsflash moron just because somebody is in this business for 4 years doesn't mean he already "played" with SE+ppc before... :disgust

If you type "sex" in Google's general search it hasn't returned adult companies for quite a while.

Yes of course I was busting his balls. :) I don't blame him one bit. I have busted my ass and spent 10s of thousands of dollars myself learning the game. I don't want to share everything I know either.

I wont go into specifics but I got a lot of impressions and about 4% click throughs and $0 in sales. Not 1 sale.

I'm just stunned here. I thought this traffic was supposed to be gold. Ive done better on tgp traffic.

It's not a total loss if you learn from it :thumbsup

The add really does make a diffrance. Also put your domain name in it so you get branding from the impressions.

Traffic from my TGP galleries converted from trial to monthly at better than twice the rate that the google traffic converted.

Go figure.

interesting

Put FREE as a NEGATIVE keyword. You'll be surprised how much that helps. Also use PHRASE MATCH instead of BROAD MATCH.

Turboface 04-22-2005 01:10 AM

Don't try to go to Google and ask them to work with you on the balance. They will just send you a canned email quoting their TOS.

:winkwink:

Thats an awesome suggestion, do you know how to do that? Im clicking around and cant find how to exclude searches that have the word Free in them.

Just put a minus sign before any word you wish to exclude.

I just went to Wendys and Nick3131 told me to tell you all,
There's no money in AdWords.

There's no money in porn or in the interet in general. Quit now everyone.

sickkittens 04-22-2005 07:49 AM

I've never had much luck with them - mainstream or adult.

No it hasn't worked out at all. To be fair I only tried one site the past couple of weekends. I am going to give them one last shot with my best converting sites.

I'm not surprised, I never did well with them and their CPC are rather low by comparison to the big boys. Thanks for letting me know though...
