Advertising Directories through Adword - ??

[maldives]

Hi,

I have not tried and have not read many success stories. Successful directory owners please share your experience about advertising directories through adwords.

Is it good?

[temi]

I have never done it

[gkd_uk]

Never done it either but it is worth a try

You MUST know what you are doing, and have clear objectives. What are your end goals? signups? adsense arbitrage?
Pos the objectives here and I will try to advise, but to say 'advertising a directory' is indicating to me that you are about to part with a boat load of cash for no return

No idea! Never use it, but planning to do so.

I think that gives answer to my question indirectly.

Of course the goal is to get more submissions. :deal:

Never tried it in past but am thinking to use it with one of my directory.

Then it is a simple maths excersice.
1. set your rates. eg $10
2. discover your conversion rate
3. set your PPC value.

e.g. if you are converting 1:20 @ $10 , then if you are paying more than $0.50 per click it is going to cost you money.

Personally I would offer people an affiliate deal rather than try to attract via PPC.

What keywords are you going to target?
