1000% ROI Possible With Media Buying
Wouldn’t it be nice if for every dollar you spend, you get back $11. Possibility of this happening with paid search marketing is almost slim to none. However, with media buying these numbers are a reality.
Yesterday, I had a very unexpectedly good day in terms of affiliate marketing and media buying. From just $93 ad spend, I made $1,362 in revenue. That is over 1000% return on investment.
Sounds unbelievable? Well, take a look at the screens below.

Wow, that’s very impressive! Congrats!
I’ve been wanting to get into media buying lately after being unjustly terminated from Adwords. Just need to learn how to get started with it!

The campaign is performing at 200% ROI normally. Yesterday was a good day because the traffic was high in general. My banner CTR was also double. Campaign may go back to it normal pace.
The key is to keep hunting for new publishers to advertise on. So far this has been a challenge for me to find new publishers. I will talk about this in my next post.

congrats again! can I know which media buy that you are using and is there any pre-requirement to join the network?

sick! i havent gotten into media buying yet, but this sounds great, did you do a direct site buy or is it something bigger?

Where are the good media buying platforms? Can you reveal any good ones/

There is no platform or network that you have to get accepted to for media buying. Media buying is like going sore-to-store and asking the store owners to have your products placed on the selves in front of the buying customers.
In other words, media buying is asking sites in your niche to advertise your products on. This is called direct buying. You can also go to publisher networks, which would have 1000s of sites in their network in almost every vertical. In this case you would want to advertise on 100s of sites in your niche/vertical at one time and weed out the sites that don’t work.
Generally, going direct costs less, but is anywhere from 1k to 5k for testing. Going though publisher networks could cost anywhere from 5k and upwards.

Thanks a lot for your great explanation.

thanks for the explanation.. then can I know how do you keep track of your clicks and expenses like the the 1st picture?
Post ReplyNov 17, 2009
You need an adserver to keep track of impressions, clicks and conversions. There are many adservers out there. You can do a quick search on google to find out.

hey would like to know more about media buy, is it hard to manage an adserver and won’t the publisher promote the offer himself if he know it’s profitable, what’s your measurement on this?
