Amazon.com Buyer Percentage
Apr 26th
This feature may have been around for some time, but I recently noticed it on Amazon.com. When you pull up certain items, Amazon displays the following:
What do customers ultimately buy after viewing items like this?
31% buy the item featured on this page
They also list the percentage of other items purchased. Spending a little time searching through these items will yield gems. What will you do with this type of knowledge? The DVD player that I do my amazon affiliate testing on sells at 50%!
Obviously that is good news, but I’m not yet seeing that type of conversion from the adwords traffic I’m sending over. If you’re having success, let me know!
What’s Popular?
Apr 16th
There are many places on the net the help you find the most popular items being purchased. One such place I recently discovered was on eBay. It’s called eBay Pulse.
On pulse you can find popular searches, stores, and products (to name a few). You can select categories as well and find the top ten popular searches for each category. What’s great too is that as you select down the category tree, you can further narrow down your search by the various subcategories listed.
As an example, say you want to know what are the most popular cell phones being searched for on eBay. The pulse lets you drill down to All Categories->Cell Phones->Phones Only. You can also see the most watched items as well.
This is just one more tool available to help you find popular items you can target with websites or an Adwords campaign.
Shoemoney on Adwords Testing
Apr 10th
Digital Point forums are excellent because of the people that hang out and share information there. Case in point, check out Shoemoney’s blog about a recent Adwords campaign: The 10,000.00 Experiment.
Key points:
- Made landing pages for affiliate programs
- Continually tested Adwords copy and used used negatives to target the audience
- Did personal research to further narrow his target audience
- Moved to affiliates that paid more
- Was willing to spend enough money to be #1 for his keywords.
It’s great that people are willing to share how they approach winning campaigns.
