Any tips for Adwords - Arbi?

[BowlOfBananas]

Hello all,

I'm fine using 7Search for Arbi, have around 50 sites that are making $1-$6 each per day but when I try and get them to work on Adwords, they all convert really badly!

I'm targeting the US, I'm using the same keywords as I use in 7Search, I have a good quality score (usually 3c -5c), traffic volume is fine but conversion percentage drops from 60%+ to around 10% - 30%.

I thought it could be my layout so I tried a couple of others along with different adcopy and dropping / adding keywords but I still get the same result. I know people using Google are , in theory, more clued up but I would have thought I'd get a better result then I currently getting right now.

Anyone have any tips that perhaps I might have overlooked?

Thanks

are you using exact match on google?

I have the opposite problem, I get around a 55% CTR on my ads but I can't get shit for traffic because of the quality score.

How's your layout setup? What kind/where are you ad blocks?

Also, if you don't mind me asking, how are you managing to beat the QS?

I've tried exact only and broad only and did find exact performed a little better.

My layout is a basic 2 Ads above the fold followed by text:

AD
AD
TEXT

As for beating the quality score, I added links to an index page, terms & conditions and wikipedia at the bottom and blended then in so they were not too obvious.

Hmm, my layout is pretty much exactly the same. Are you using square blocks?

I also have all those links at the bottom and google still deleted 85% of my keywords

I'm using 336x280 Adsense blocks, as for the quality score, I have found that it makes a difference on what your bidding on. I still have some Arbi sites that require $5 to activate but that is only with 1 or 2 of my sites. :eek7:
