Adwords is the most effective advertising technique which can bring good quality targeted traffic to your website. It is the fastest way to start promoting Clickbank products. Go to the Adwords site and register with them. After registration, you can create an ad for your product. Make sure that the ad copy adheres to the editorial guidelines of Adwords.
Use different important keywords ( relevant to your product) in your ad. Before the ad can be published, it has to go through a review process. After the ad copy clears the review, it can be published. The following are some tips for publishing your ad:
- As you have to bid for each click, keep your starting bids low. The bids can be increased later.
- Make a daily budget, but keep it low. You can start with $5 a day. If the ads become profitable, the budget can be increased.
- Instead of general keywords, use long tail keywords. Break up your ad into different ad groups with different keywords.
- Test with different ads. The ads having a low CTR ( click through rate) may be deleted. The CTR should be at least 1%.
- If necessary, you may target your ad to certain countries. This will save you money.

With Clickbank SEO can even be the good solution, but for physical products SEO can be a huge waste of time, especially in technology, for example, where new products come out almost every day and night.
With Clickbank it’s more like 50-50 situation, depending on the niche. Some niches last “forever” and some niches spark, remain hot for some time, and eventually fade away.
Therefore Adwords is a must.
Good article, general stuff, but with enough details, especially about those long tail keywords, it is probably the most crucial thing, because in affiliate marketing quality is in most cases even more important than quantity.
