You need experience to run a campaign. Trial and error is such an important concept for PPC, it’s not even funny. You need experience to run a campaign.

I am currently in love with MSN AdCenter because my ads are running in less than 15 minutes of launching my campaign. Will definitely join the forum to talk about PPC.

After 16 days of testing & tuning I had my first $100 day of which $60 was profit! I think for a lot of us we are emotionally tied to our money so patiently watching yourself burn through it can be very difficult. I am slowly learning to take a more scientific approach to my marketing and not make decisions based on emotion. Thanks again for all your help. Patience is finally starting to pay off.

Also I had no learning when I tried the first time. I have now been studying where I can for the last year or so and am ready to dive back in and give it a try. I will check out the PPC mentoring forum you mention in your article. Thanks Andrew. I tried PPC marketing in the past and suffered from being impatient about my campaigns.

I have learned that like anything affiliate marketing also takes time. One time setup, Auto pilot, build and forget are the catch phrase to get the new guy... or guy who just wants the above.

I'm actually $500 into testing a campaign right now. It has been set at $50/day and running for 10 days now. I've made $160 so I'm $340 in the hole but I'm not turning it off yet. I have gone through 5 different landing pages and many variations of ad copy. I have slowly reduced CPC on keywords and turned off the ones not getting clicks after several hundred impressions or costing 2x the offer price with no conversions. What I am seeing now is higher CTR and Google is actually dropping my min. bids! I'm not about to turn it off yet because I know this is a hot niche and I need more time to thoroughly test it. You couldn't be more right that it takes time and patience. I just hope everyone reading actually takes it to heart. I know it's scary watching money fly out your account but if you aren't taking the steps to continually test and fine tune then you're better off setting your money on fire and watching it burn. Thanks for your words of wisdom Andrew and sharing so much valuable information. Absolutely fantastic!!! I’m actually $500 into testing a campaign right now.
