I’m giving this a shot, but certainly not at 100 bucks. At $5 I was able to out rank someone. I suppose at some point I’ll be able to lower my bid back down and still rank well. We’ll see.

Hi,
Great Blog.
I have a question about this technique.
If another affiliate comes and tries to
bid $50 on the keyword, although I know you
won’t have to $50.01 to outbid him because
of your superior quality, isn’t it possible
that you could have to pay $10 or $20 per
click to keep the spot?

Great tip.

One thing though. What if you’re paying like $0.30 per click and then Google slaps you and ups your cpc to like $10 per click?

Randal, unless you’re affiliated with a super anal network, that’d be a great approach to experiment with.

Stewart, can a brotha get an update? I stop by every couple of days hoping for a new post, and I get nothin. Still love your blog though.

I just discovered your blog. Really interesting. I am planning on using an image ad with keywords on a campaign for a company for which I’m an affiliate. I’m assuming I can use the banner(s) they have supplied. This sound ok to you? The banners send the click to my affiliate site for the company.

Sounds like you have a low Quality Score. Try improving the relevancy of the Ad to include the keywords you’re targeting.

Are you sending it to the merchant or your own page?

Maybe you can tell me why adwords are so expensive. For the keywords that I want the competition is like 1 or 2 and in some cases none at all but i still have to pay 60 plus cents per click. Whats up with that?

Shouldn’t low competitive markets allow me to take advantage of cheaper clicks? If not with adwords then where else?

Interesting article. I have been reading Harry Marshals Difinitive Guide to Adwords and he talks about some of the same things. Only not as direct. This is good to know as I am developing a business where adwords is going to play a key role in getting traffic. In the case of high value keywords like loan or mortgage, how would you approach out pacing the competition?

I never thought of using this, it’s a bit like setting a large maximum bid on ebay.

Totally awesome, I feel good at first about this tip and then, others have also read it.
Move fast is the key and the quote I like…

“Don’t ever let anyone tell you that something is too competitive. Once you subtract the people who don’t work hard, or the people who aren’t as good as you, your competetion shrinks dramatically.”

Sorry, I may be a bit dim here… How is this “100% safe”? If your competitor takes your advise, he’ll bid $100 on the keyword too and you’ll both be paying stupid amounts per click.

Does this work on Yahoo/MSN as well?
