Just thought I'd write a little about it for anyone that is interested or is thinking about doing it.
Using MSN's Adcenter I started a Firefox Adsense campaign. Used to average 3rd position for .17 cents back in August, seeing 400% ROI on 3 campaigns. When the 4th campaign only yielded me 150% ROI I stopped. Made a post about my success on a couple of boards because I remember Shoe saying it wasn't worth his time...but I made a killing.
I still had the domain and that great landing page sitting around so I decided to run another Adcenter campaign a week ago.
Now a quarter (.25) on popular keywords won't even get me in to the top 5. No conversions and only 2% of my budget has been used.
I can't see myself bidding .50 on a keyword only to make .50. So now I see what Shoe was talking about.
So to sum it all up...I was making a kiling back in August practically stealing keywords and now I can't make shit because there seems to be more competition on something as small as $1 CPA.
