Thank you for the spreadsheet and the question. I haven't done a math problem in ages, forgot how fun they could be.
I'm still learning the terminology, and this post helped a lot.

funny topic and true! when i young and was thinking about a field to go into I passed on everything relating any way to math. I chose to go into web dev, and affiliate marketing, right away i was doing math all day long. Than i started a CPA network yeah i thought way less math there - nope math all the time. So the thing i tried to avoid became the thing i do most of my days. I guess i don't hate it as much as i thought and BTW nothing it better than counting your earnings and that is Math!
WOW - excellent post. Glad I looked around. Thanks Mike. I hope I understand how to come to your conclusion after I look at the spreadsheet. I am not sure what "conversion rate" means here. Maybe the % of viewers who not only click through but also buy?
After all y0u have the click through before you buy.

But real life isn't just based on the numbers, is it? Although math is useful I don't think it is more important then coding, LP design and simple initiative.
If you guys are looking for a desktop calc, check out Qalculate (Qalculate! - the ultimate desktop calculator). It's amazing, not sure if it's for windows though.
+rep. Thanks much for this. The math really is not all that hard, even for an English major like me. BUT this spreadsheet will help make sure I'm keeping everything important in mind. Plus it makes things a little easier & *quicker* and makes it less likely I'll forget or flake on something. Thanks again.
I lost this spreadsheet somehow and thank god I uploaded it here. Yay! Sometimes even a blind squirrel finds a nut.
Xentech, you got a point. You just have to remember that Americans think the greatest value of anything is the ability to monetize it. But the fact is can't monetize a worthless product forever. Nor can you monetize air (well there are some exceptions to that).
Ir all works together and in my mind it is all necessary. By the way Mike, I used your sheet to calculate what I could afford to spend on clicks for my fist campaign. Now I understand why it is a great deal of work to make money with ppc.
It's analyze and adjust then analyze and adjust again. don't do it too often but don't do it too infrequently either. YEESH

I would not be judging myself as Super good in Maths, however, according to my experience and calculations,
I would go for "B"... This is because if I am doing PPC and getting 2500 clicks from very targetted Network (e.g. Adwords), and if the campaign converts at 4% (according to network ), then here is some maths..
2500 Clicks * 4% = 100 Leads = 2k$..= $1.5k in Profits within 24 hours (I would run this campaign only for 24 hours at its best)..
Guys, if you have any other option which can earn $1.5k from A,C, please post!
