I'm a few month in affiliate marketing. Recently started new CPA campaing -recipes toolbar download, got 40 clicks throught MSN (search and context), but no single convertion! Is it posible in this niche?

Hi AlexL,

40 clicks isn't enough to judge. When you are new you may only get one sale out of 200 clicks.
You need at least 500 clicks before you can really judge.

Are you using negative keywords? Are you using the RIGHT keywords? Are you split testing ad copy?
Any of these things can affect campaign performance.

Then on top of that you need an offer that converts and consumers that want to download a toolbar for recipes and I'm not sure how many people would.
