Test and know what is your PPC revenue share.

[Avensen]

Would it be useful for domainer to know what share he gets from a particular PPC company? I think yes. Let's see how to determine it if that PPC service uses Google's feed.

1. Start an AdWords advertising campaign. Target it on a very rare English word, something like 'zymosimeter'. Bid $1/click on that word.
2. Go to one of your parked domains (of course, not from your PC). Search for that word and click on your ad.
3. See what Google and your PPC company left you from the $1.

Nice tip! Did you test that already?

 

[Fearless]

Yeah, test them all.

Not yet.

 

[dvestors]

Bid higher than $1.

Yeah, do that and give them the chance to close your account for click fraud.

Of course when they rip us off 80% of the earnings it's called "strategic profit sharing".

You can always ask somebody to do you a favor. And, from the moral point of view, this is not a fraud since you spend your own money.

do have any stats on different companies and the percentages? would be great to know. actually i think domainers should try to make such things very public as a means to lobby against companies. if the whole domainer community would find out that a certain companies rips of 90% of profit while another one just 70%, this could trigger a lot of moving to the better companies and also foster competition.

percetage probably changes all the time.

would be tough to do on google with a oddball keyword, because they adjust the ad positions by highest bidder starting at .05, if you bid $1.00 and there are no other bidders you are only going to pay .05 , you would actually have to use a common keyword where you know for sure there are tons of bidders , then your max bid will be close.

I didn't know that Google drops it to $0.05 in that case, thanks for sharing.

most welcome, adwords works the same way as ebay proxy bidding, you pay .01 above the next highest bid up to you max you set, I guess the way to do it would be to bid on a common keyword $1.00 and then set the daily max at $1.00 so your account won't take more than 1 click for the day, and do your business right away and hope you click on it before someone else does.

google minimum bid is .01 cents
