Bid prices. Assuming you have a decent keyword set, if you aren?t getting any traffic your bid prices may be too low. This is by far one of the most common problems I see with campaigns. Its very tempting to try to ease into a niche going after cheap clicks, but its also an biggest way to shoot yourself in the foot. You have to bid enough to get the clicks, no matter what that price may be. If the top ads are bidding $1.75 and you start with $ .85, your campaign might be doomed to never get any impressions. Set your bid aggressively - you have to pay to play. Common affiliate marketing problems - low traffic | CDF Networks - Affiliate Marketing Blog [...] [...] 1. Bid prices.

I actually made the decision to put the directory in the center after careful review of their own sites (they own several under different URLs) which I'm sure they've tested to death. To be honest, I probably could have tried switching it up but after I heard what their conversion costs are I gave up to focus on more profitable things. I'd be happy to sell the site if anybody is interested ;) Oh wait, I see what you mean now…

I'm still learning best practices for CSS so I'm sure there's lots of room for improvement there. Not sure it was the best niche though. Not sure what you mean by tagging the center div either...can you clarify? Built from scratch in Dreamweaver.
