Default Affiliate PPC - Help Me, Losing Money - Avoid Common Newbie Mistakes

Ok this is some REALLY good stuff from 2 blogs.
If you do PPC or are trying to pick a niche or have a
niche you think may be too competitive you need to read!

Tyler Cruz has been bravely blogging his trials and errors
as a new affiliate, trying to profit.

You should probably read the whole series but lets look at today -
Day 15 which is sucking big time for Tyler!
He asks for help and gets some great advice from a pro affiliate
in the 2nd blog. Plus some good advice in his blog comments.
TONS of valuable lessons in both posts!

"In short, I’m still sucking. This morning was great and I thought I was actually getting somewhere, when I was at positive 69% ROI, but ever since then, I’ve just been accumulating more and more clicks with no more leads coming in.

So, I finished the day at -47.39% ROI, which, ironically enough, is still the best day I’ve had yet... Nearly a grand in the hole… that’s bad, right?
...I have a few questions for you guys, perhaps one of you out there knows the answer(s)"

Affiliate Marketing Plunge: Day 15


Then over at the NetBusinessBlog Matt Coddington gives some great advice and some stern, well deserved warnings about several things affiliates should be careful of and gives some great tips.
Quote:
"Before I start ranting, Tyler is a standup guy for keeping track of all this and making it public for his readers and asserting that he is just starting out and will undoubtably make mistakes. But in an attempt to keep my readers from losing a grand or so in their first couple of weeks of affiliate marketing, I would like to give out just a few pointers that I learned when I was doing it a year or two ago.

Throughout his affiliate marketing experiment, Tyler has done a few things that I would consider ineffective or just wrong that any beginner would do."
