With cost per click increasing for Google AdWords, quite a few people have stopped doing affiliate marketing using their pay per click service.

I’ve decided to investigate this and created my own google adwords campaign for one product on Clickbank.

Here is a screenshot of my earnings for the last couple of weeks

I basically picked a product which had a commission of at least $30 and promoted via a blog which was specifically setup for the product. My average conversion rate was around 1% which happened to be profitable. I used search and content network in order to drive traffic to the site. My ad groups were all setup to fit particular keywords, so were the ads inside them.

So, its still definitely possible to make money with affiliate marketing using adwords. I am currently documenting the process into an ebook and it will be out soon.

I often get asked about what people should use for credit card processing while selling an electronic product such as ebook.

In most of the cases Clickbank is the best option and there are number of reasons to this. First of all Clickbank has marketplace which allows affiliates to find your electronic product and promote it. Secondly, Clickbank takes control of affiliate payments and sends you a cheque every fortnight. Finally and most importantly, they take care of credit card validation and payment transaction which accepts most common credit cards as well as Paypal.

The only problem with Clickbank is that at first they will only allow you to sell a product up to $97 until you make a few sales and establish yourself as a merchant.
