I started a direct link campaign the other day on the Google Content Network. The product is a higher priced Clickbank product, and is not internet marketing related.

I bid .01 for search since I didn’t feel like setting up the ad groups to be tight with relevant landing pages, etc. etc.

I bid about $0.22 for the content network and kept my daily campaign limit to $25.

I checked my CB account today and saw a nice ~$100 commission from 1 click from the content network.

I was pleasantly surprised. This just shows you that not all content traffic is bad. Advanced PPC marketers know this. You can get incredible traffic (in quality and amount) from content networks. If you try it, just make sure to keep your bids low at first and set a low daily budget and TRACK. See what sites convert for you and what sites don’t.

More on this later…
