First PPC campaign using adwords/******

Ok guys I am getting my feet wet in my first ppc campaign, please bear with me. I have a landing page that is basically going to offer free downloads of choice and i want to run a cpa offer.

Right now I am with only one network that allows incentive offers.

I plan on using adwords b/c I have a $100 voucher to play with and ****** because it will be ideal to target them because most of their visitors are looking for downloads.

I plan on having a landing page that offers like 2 to 3 downloads (based on keywords I have researched that are good to go.)

Can I have a landing page with strictly information about the download and then have a button to download so when they click the button it redirects to another page which will be a filegate?

Can anybody help me out...anybody out there?

Adwords is hard as f#$k to get something like that approved.

The only advice I can give you is if they don't approve the ad, take some time and tweak it. Don't just throw it right back up. You only get like 5 times before they permanently ban you. You won't even make it through the first $100 buck voucher.

Keep in mind you get around $4 for every 1k users you send to your link. I hope you aren't doing CPC, I don't see CPM on adwords being profitable with this either.

You're better off targeting a certain download and putting a content locker over it.

Hey thanks for the response Facebookdude but I don't plan on using ****** as a publisher, I meant as an advertiser.

I want to use that method with both adwords and ******? Any experience with landing pages being used on ****** anyone?

any new ideas about this?

****** traffic is mostly crap. never converts. and for adwords, you must have to be celver enough to make content rich website . as adwords dont allow just crappy websites or landing pages.

I don't think Aw allow that type of landing. They have the policy for landing page. If your page has less text content, your ads will not be approved ! But sometime you still can pass lol

Try AdCenter. They are not so strict about LP.

Yeah AW is strict for no reason ...

* do not use content lockers or gateways. That was allowed in 2009, right now = Instant Ban.

If you are using content lockers and don't use modern camuflage technics, you are still in 2009, too.

Hey guys I was doing my research and believe I found a better way to do this. I just read a post from a member here Bornofmoney and he gave me an idea..you just explained a yt method..but if edited correctly it probably would work for ppc too.

Go to this thread http://www.blackhatworld.com/blackh...-my-800-day-youtube-method-twist-applied.html

I am still new here..but I think it's ok to post a thread. If not plz moderators just erase.

I did some research on ****** campaigns and if you google ****** CPA you will find this case study conducted by someone at WF. The conversions are possible but slim 1 out of 1,000 mostly or none. Also ****** converts the best outside of USA..but as you know CPA networks typically do not pay as high for international, except UK or Canada.

So I said all that to say, I just thought of this method using adwords and Adcenter that might work. But I have to test it out and I will report back with details once I have done some research to see whether it works or not.
