My only answer to this question is “Maybe”. So far I haven’t really been successful with affiliate marketing using PPC so I’m not the most qualified person to answer this question. I have, however, drawn the conclusion that it’s very difficult to get consistent results using PPC search engines. One issue I’ve found is that the top search engines charge a lot of money if you’re going for competitive keywords. I find it very hard to believe that you can get any kind of decent conversions by paying $1.00 to $3.00 a click. Even if your landing page is good you can usually expect to get a 1 out of 50 conversion at the best. So if you’re paying $1.50 a click and the affiliate program you’re promoting is only paying $35.00 a sale, then it would cost you about $75 to make the sale! In my opinion, all these people that claim to be averaging 1 out of 15 conversions paying these amounts either have found high-paying, untapped niches or they’re simply lying to get some attention.
