Affiliate Musketeer

We’ve all been there, in that place where the wall looks so inviting to bang your head against because your damn AdWords PPC Campaign has just screwed you over again…15,000 impressions and only 167 clicks, another great day of a 1.1% CTR – bang there goes my quality score which I’ve been working so bloody hard to sort out!

I use PPC to drive traffic to a number of CJ affiliate sites and my CTR was suffering hugely and because of that, my whole campaign was running at a loss. I had read all of the ‘how to optimize my adwords campaign’ posts on various internet marketing forums around the net and I got the philosophy. I understood themed adgroups, related keywords, relevant ad text but I couldn’t help but feel like there was something missing. Some dark secret that all the super-affiliates understand and I just missed.

I needed an action plan and I wanted to know, for definite:

• How I should really set up a Google AdWords campaign (by actually seeing one working)
• How to find high converting keywords that can make me, like it does for so many other AdWords Gurus, thousands per day
• How to write relevant, really catchy Ads to achieve that holy grail of double digit clickthroughs
• How to stop wasting all my PPC budget every day and turn losing campaigns into winning ones
• How to immitate this success in another niche once I have a winning campaign and leverage that too for max profits
• How to protect my profit-making campaign from competitorswho spend more time researching my campaign than they do promoting their own!

And so I thought that the time for forum trolling and lurking was over and I needed to take real action and actually go somewhere to learn something for sure. I scoured the net and tried a few software programs, books and other products that could potentially help me:

If you have the spare cash, all of these tools, except maybe Project:PPC, are worth having on your hard drive, but if you have to choose just one of them to kickstart your campaign and get those CTRs rising, you need to buy this one.

All of these products are great tools for actually learning how to do, rather than just lurking around forums trying to pick it all up.
