How to Get Google Adwords at 5c a click !!

(And on Page 1 !!)

Google Ads can make you a lot of money. But it’s like all the other good things, to be successful you have to do it right.

For a long time I’d been reading about people making real money by placing ads on Google and I thought “I could do that”. Sounds easy - but I had no idea how it worked.

So I figured the only way to find out is Just Do It !

So this is what I did.

Some of it worked so I stuck with that. And some of it didn’t – so I modified that and tried again.

This report details what I did, and still do, to make money with Google Adwords without paying huge amounts on Cost-per-Click (CPC)

(You can, in fact, get your CPC down to 5c !!)

For those new to Google CPC advertising the system works basically like this :

1. Every time someone clicks on your ad you incur a cost (CPC)

Google will then debit your account at the end of each month for the total CPC’s.

2. Every so often one of those clicks results in a sale

ClickBank, or whoever operates your Affiliate Program, will pay you at the end of each accounting period. (Every 2 weeks for Clickbank)

Initially it may cost you money, paying for clicks but getting no sales.

This is because your Keywords may be attracting the wrong people – people who search your keyword, then click on your ad, but don’t want to buy your stuff. Maybe they didn't like what you were  selling, or your keyword led them to something other than what they were after. Either way – you’ll pay the CPC but you won’t get a sale.

And that’s how you learn about the importance of Keyword selection !!

I could list a whole lot of things you should do, but a smart young man by the name of Chris Carpenter has already done that.  Early on in the piece I kept on seeing his name on the Internet whenever people were talking about advertising on Google, so to get me started with Google Adwords I bought Chris's eBook, Google Cash, and found it to be a tremendous help.

In fact, I really couldn’t have got started without it.

It’s very 'readable' and covers all the topics you need, and then some !

Things like;

1. How to find and choose lucrative affiliate programs

2. Keyword research

3. How to write ads

4. Setup your campaign

It’s really a complete manual on “How to do Google Adwords”

If you’re just getting started with Google Ads, or you’d like to find out more then this book of Chris Carpenter’s, Google Cash, is highly recommended.

Another book I found along the way was “Google Profits” by Wade Winger.

Just like “Google Cash” it is very well written, easy to understand and Wade takes you step by step through his system.

There are many books you can get hold of telling you how to make it big with Google, and I think I’ve read them all !

But these two, Google Cash and Google Profits, get the point across in a way I found easy to understand and copy.

And that was important to me. After all, I’m only doing this for the money and if successful people are able to show me the way I’d have to be stupid to ignore them, wouldn’t I ?

The only thing I found they didn’t cover too well was how to select the product you are going to advertise.

Note: Initially you just pick a product you like or better still a product you use. That way you'll find it a lot easier to write the ads and select the Keywords.

They talk about signing up with Affiliate Programs (AP) and you will have to do that. The Affiliate Program products are your stock – that’s what you’re going to sell.

Some of the biggest and better known AP's are;

• ClickBank

• Amazon

• Commission Junction

But they don’t mention that the biggest one, ClickBank, has about 11,400 products and services you can advertise !

So how do you pick ? How do you find the one you want ??

Well, I found the easy way for me was to join 1^st Promotion. This program offers what is really a search engine for ClickBank and makes life a lot easier.

Have a look at 1^st Promotion and see if you think it could make it easier for you and your customers.

 Note: When you’re up and running, that’s not the end of it.

Google has a bad habit of ‘slowing the delivery of your ads’ for reasons best known to themselves. So it’s best not to get paranoid about it – just make sure you monitor your ads, at least every day, and edit any keywords as necessary.

But how do you get Adwords at 5c a click ??

And on the first page ??

N.B. It is important to get on Page 1 if you can because many searchers, your potential customers, don’t move on to page2, 3 etc.

OK, this is what I do, it’s tedious but it works. (But I also do all the other stuff in Chris's and Wade's eBooks)

Remember,

1. 5c is the minimum CPC Google will allow you to select

2. there are 8 Google Adword ads on a full page

Prepare your list of keywords

Open Google (the search engine that is)

Then, just as a trial

1. Type in any search term or word

2, The Google Adword ads are down the right side of the page.

3. On a full page you’ll see 8 ads.

Now we do it for real:

1. Enter your first keyword from your list, and ‘search’.

2. If there are 8 ads showing (on page 1) try your next keyword.

Note; Don’t discard your keywords, they may be good even if you can’t get on page 1 for 5c.

3. If your search shows less than 8 ads on page 1, for example 5, then you know you can get your ad into 6^th spot (on page 1) for only 5c.

4. Add this to a “5c List”

5. Continue to the end of your keyword list.

Then, when you

• “Create a New Ad” on Google,

• you’ll get to the section, (after you’ve listed your 5c keywords), which nominates the CPC.

• Usually this will be a high figure.

• Just change this to 5c and “save the changes”.

Then when you move to the next section the Daily Budget will be (usually) low.

I always set this to $10:00.

No, I don’t intent to pay $10.00 a day – but at 5c a click that’s 200 clicks which would produce at least 6 to 8 sales.

So I probably wouldn’t mind paying $10 a day !!

And that’s it.

Don’t forget to monitor your ads performance so you don’t get slowed !!

One last thing - if you can get clicks at 10c, 15c or 20c you'll still do very well IF you've selected your keywords with care and your visitors find what they were after.
