Hello fellow forum members.
I was a little worried this campaign was going to lose money. On Day 5 I was break even. However, affiliate commissions updated today and I wanted to share with you the results so far.
I'm happy to announce that it's still making money!
Take a look.
Adwords Cost: $71.30
Adsense Income: $19.84 (the year I graduated hs: 1984)
Affliate Commissions: $165.00
Net Profit after 6 days: $165 + $19.84 - $71.30 =
$113.54
ROI = (165+19.84)/71.3 - 1 =
159%
P.S.
I've put a little more work into my campaign after reviewing the statistics. One of my nine keywords was landing on page 3 of the serps (average position 19) at the $2.00 bid. So I up the bid on that particular keyword to $3.00 and now it's on page 2 (average position 15).
I also tweaked my landing page by dressing it up with indenting some of the paragraphs for cosmetic purposes and also put in bold the keywords I used in the campaign. I don't know if this improves quality score, but I've read that it does help with keyword seo, so why not?
About an additional 10 minutes of work. - Total time 30 minutes for $113!
