I'm going to go ahead and post this yahoo chat log from today. I was having a discussion with my 16 year old nephew Anthony who I'm teaching affiliate marketing too. It's advanced and beyond where any of you are likely to be, but it will give you an idea of where I'm going to be taking you and the type of stuff we will be doing.
Anthony : fuck
Anthony : im pissed off i didnt get 1 sales
Anthony : maybe my ads
Anthony : arent effective enough
Brandon Fredrickson: jee ya think? how do you maintain that 3.8gpa bud?
Brandon Fredrickson: how much traffic did you get?
Anthony : doestn come up yet
Anthony : that data seems to be delayed
Brandon Fredrickson: what you want to get
Brandon Fredrickson: is about 2 1/2 sales per 100 visits
Brandon Fredrickson: that that is a pretty good rate
Brandon Fredrickson: but it takes some time
Anthony : ok
Anthony : here it is

Brandon Fredrickson: and that is going to cost you 330
Brandon Fredrickson: you need to find other keywords

Brandon Fredrickson: he gets about 3 1/2 sales per 100 visits
Brandon Fredrickson: so at that
Brandon Fredrickson: your losing money, the breakeven point is $1.72 per clcik, so you need to pay at least under that
