It’s been one week since I switched from direct affiliate links in Adwords to a website landing page. The results are:

• 28 Adword clicks (to landing page)
• 15 Click-thrus to Amazon.com
• 0 Sales

With my stats tracking as well I learned that nobody checked the rest of the site out either. So my thoughts of potential sales through other products didn’t work.

Another interesting thing I learned is that the Adword ads clicks are not just coming from Google.com. I got clicks from sites like www.buy.com, www2.shopping.com, www.nexttag.com, www.epinions.com, and www.become.com.

I checked these sites and they display Adword ads when visitors do a search. I received most clicks from www.nexttag.com. I was happy with the placement of the ad on the sites and think it’s not a bad thing.

More lessons learned this week. The more you try, the more you learn. I wish I had feedback from the customer as to why they didn’t buy.
