1) Always choose high profit margin products .

Before Setting up your adwords campaign, you must know that affiliate marketers can easily lose money compared to the merchant who is selling his own products. If the affiliate commission is to low, it will be difficult to break even.

Try to choose affiliate programs that pay more than $75 per sale. Like that, you will have room to test the market and tweak your landing pages... and still win money.

When you start a new campaign, be sure to de-activate content network. Those contextual advertising ads displaying on adsense sites are often a waste of money.

While those adsense publishers are getting more and more clicks on their ads (they earn a nice CPC income doing this!), those clicks doesn't convert to sales in most of the cases. In fact, “content network” is good for merchants since they get branding from their affiliates for their company and products.

4) Never target the first spot! .

It has been proved that the fourth or fifth spot are more profitables. While you get less click at the fourth position, your adwords campaign's ROI (return on investment) will be higher than the ad in the first position.

Philipp Lenssen noticed recently that the Google Custom Search blog, maintained by Google, was “marked as spam”. It’s scary to see this happen to an official Google blog because if it can happen to them, there is absolutely nothing to stop it from happening to you. The official blog was replaced by a single post by “Srikanth” saying:

Google Custom Search, is the wonderful product from Google which many webmasters have been looking and dream for. It allows webmasters to create their own custom search engines to search only the sites he/she wants.

Also Google Custom Search is integrated with Ad-sense, which means make money while keeping users on your site for longer time with custom search engine.

I’ll cover up more on this powerful tool very soon in my next blog.

Good Luck for all the Custom Search customers(??).

Cheers,
Srikanth

You could be writing a blog for months, following all the rules — then out of the blue Google could delete your blog and all it’s content, then let some random person start blogging on that very same domain.

Whoops! We accidentally classified ourselves as spam, and our ever-perceptive Blogger settings caught us. The Custom Search Blog has since been restored, and we’re taking steps to ensure this doesn’t happen with other Google blogs in the future. Other Blogger users can make sure this doesn’t happen to them by reporting any problems to the Blogger support team via the Blogger Help Center at http://www.blogger.com/problem.g. We can then investigate.

Should this happen to you, contact Google immediately to explain the situation so they can investigate. It would be nice to have more clarification from Google about what actually happened here, and what happens when a blog is “marked as spam”. From this most recent demonstration, it appears your blog is completely deleted and put back into the list of available blog names — allowing anybody to register it. What can we possibly do to stop this from happening to innocent bloggers?
