Do want to give you a little advice though (although I've not read the rest of this series os posts yet so I'm not sure if you've already realised)... On the screenshot above I noticed that you have Adsense on your landing page - argh!!!! I see this mistake so many times it's untrue. Please have a think about this and realise you do not want it on there... You said that your Max CPC is $1.50 - so you're buying traffic at up to $1.50 per click, and then offering an Adsense link for them which will make you maybe a penny, and take them away from your affiliate offers which have the potential to make you a decent profit! Never, ever put adsense on a landing page - your one and only goal on this page is to presell your visitor, and get them to click on your affiliate links - that's it! Anyway, hope that helps, and good luck with your campaign. Bill Hi Matt

You're absolutely right, I was paying too much for clicks. This was my first attempt with both affiliate marketing and PPC advertising, so I had a lot to learn. If you take a look at my next article on the topic, <a href="http://www.matthuggins.com/affiliate-marketing-lessons-learned/" rel="nofollow">Affiliate Marketing Lessons Learned</a>, you can see that I discuss some of the same things there.

When I start out with a market I will usually spend 0.5-1% of my commission per click. If I make $100 per sale I would pay $0.50 - $1.00 per click and then optimize from there.

I was thinking, maybe the visitors left quickly because you're utilizing a "newsletter"/email submission as your home page. Its highly likely they didn't recognize the small links near the bottom of the page and, "in turn", exited swiftly! :-) My suggestion would be try altering the start page. It might make a huge difference! Best Regards, Mr. F.O.W.L. This is a great post!
