Valuable lessons AND profit…..Great job Bob!
Could you tell us why the advertisement was unsuccessful and what you would do different?

Yeah, it would be nice to know what you have done since. Is it just adwords that makes the revenue?

How it went down was… I spent $20 on advertisement at Adengage for the first month. It was making close to $10 a day from yahoo publisher. at the end of the first month, the profit started going down. I made the mistake of ignoring it and still spending $97.27 on the second month. Yahoo Publisher wasn’t counting all the clicks so I was losing money.
I believe the reason for this is that the traffic was from different countries(non-usa traffic) and yahoo relized it and stop counting the clicks. So what I would do different is first buy Cheap USA traffic that converts well and second not ignoring changes.
