eventually they have been known to do this, but you’d have to convince them you truly needed it. Also, they may increase the size of an adwords account.

Hi Kirsty,

Thanks for the tips! So even though their TOS states “Individuals advertising for themselves or for their own businesses may only have a single AdWords account. However, your account may contain multiple ad groups and ads triggered by the same or similar keywords.” we can get multiple accounts if we ask them explicitly (i.e: not going behind their back)?

When choosing a merchant to promote as affiliate, also research the trustworthiness of the merchant. i have read many affiliates who sold well but got burned when the merchants cheated them of their commissions.

Hi Franklin… I’ve only got one account, but I do have one campaign with several hundred adgroups in it. It does make management a little more complicated, but it works for me.

Google have been known to allow someone to have multiple accounts, so I think if I manage mine effectively and get too big for it, they’ll allow me another one.

Some people make great profit each month from single adgroups… so a single account is enough to make great money.

Hi Kirsty,

How many Adwords accounts do you have? I think Google only limits 1 person to 1 account, so is that all you have?
If I remember correctly, 1 account can only have 25 campaigns, which doesn’t sound like a lot……..so, is 25 campaigns really enough to generate huge monthly profits? Silly question I know, but I am so curious

Hi…wow what a great post. I have been trying to figure out how to market a domain I have with affiliates and ppc….. have to admit I have been stumbling but your advice has made things a little clearer. Your formula makes perfect sense….I just need to make sure what CJ.com says is correct for conversion rates and amounts to balance against my ppc campaigns….. great advice..thanks………

In addition to looking at the conversion rates and the payouts, it is important to consider the relationship you have with the affiliate network you’re dealing with. The main points of picking a great network are based on the amount of exclusive advertiser campaigns the network is running, the support from the consultant team, the payouts, and the quality and volume of traffic the network can bring to your campaings. Clickbooth is a performance-based network with the reputation to recognize each person or organization as unique, and who works diligently to adapt its services to fit the appropriate needs.
