Make Money from Google Adwords and Google Adsense

-

Have you ever tried to make money through an affiliate program by using Google Adwords? If you did you probably experienced for yourself how difficult it is. You probably know how easy it is to lose money fast with Google Adwords, too. On average numbers suggest that out of 10 affiliate Adwords campaigns only 1 are profitable. Everyone is looking for a solution that allows to be successful making more money with Google Adwords and Google Adsense.
 
By combining Google Adwords and Google Adsense with an affiliate program you can easily generate a 100% ROI (Return on Investment). Instead of finding the niche first, you go and check availability of an affiliate program that pays at least $2.50 or more per lead, but less than $5.00. Many affiliates will skip those programs and will not promote them due to the low payout and the high cost of traffic acquisition. This will allow us to enter a non-saturated niche market. Now build a 3 page website around the topic of the affiliate program. One page is your main landing page. Page 2 has to be very similar to page 1 (same structure, same ad placement, etc), but needs to have unique content, too. Page 3 is your privacy policy and disclaimer page. Stick Google Adsense with 2 ads per page onto your new website. Page 1 and 2 should have a well-placed location for the affiliate link. The Google ads should be on the top and/or left side of the page. Each page should not be more than 800px in length (top to bottom). I use 160x600 Google ads and that unit performs awesome. The content should be unique. I usually do a Google search first to see what website is ranking for the main keywords and then write similiar content like that website.
 
Now build a Google Adwords campaign. Your bid price should be $0.08 or less (at least that's what worked for me). I had most success with misspelled keywords of the brand name of a product and are paying $0.06 on average. My Adwords CTR% is averaging about 3.5%. Test it and remove non-performing keywords that generate impressions, but no clicks to keep your overall CTR% high.
 
Important: Cloak your outgoing affiliate link so that it looks like a link related to your site. Do not use affiliate banner images. 2 Text links well-placed and well-named will do the trick. I have one text link in the upper 1/3 the page and one in the bottom 3rd of the page. I also offer a free bonus download as a teaser. Now I make an average of about $7.00 from affiliate commissions per day and about $1.50 from Google Adsense per day. My traffic acquisition cost averages between $2 and $3 per day. I have neither modified the website or the Adwords campaign in 2 months and it just runs on autopilot. Find 10-15 of these products and niches and you can generate a nice stream of income for yourself that will supplement other streams of income you might already have. I use mainly Amazon products in the $80 to $150 range. With a 6% commission after a specific number of sales this is very profitable.
