Progress Report 1 : Using PPC to Make Money Online

PPC Campaign, that is freakin exciting. I have to start planning for one today.

I wanted to outline what I have accomplished so far with my first PPC experiment.

I selected a health niche product in clickbank that I will be promoting. I found a few keyword phrases that I feel will work well in the campaign. Using one of these phrases, I registered a .info domain name at a reduced rate for one year. I decided to use an .info because presently it only costs a few bucks to register it. Later on if the niche is a winner, I will register a similar .com domain.

It is better to use your own domain name as your landing page. If you pay for clicks using adwords and are using the same URL as others, it will be hard for your ad to appear. Google only displays one ad from each URL and if 10 people are plugging the same URL, you will be out of luck.

My next steps will consist of finding more keyword phrases for the campaign and finding a cheap way to create a landing page. I plan on using a simple HTML format.

Have you tried a PPC campaign ? How successful was the campaign ?
