Thanks for the tips. It's actually more difficult to advertise than I thought, because "kratom" is a banned keyword on Google. I can't advertise on other appropriate keywords like "pain" and I can't use kratom in the ad. So most of the people selling kratom on Google adwords only mention that they sell Kava, which is another worthwhile legal drug that is fortunate enough to have registered supplement status in the USA.
I gotta try and get kratom approved as a supplement by the FDA, the process doesn't look too bad. But if they want to inspect a facility, I'm screwed.
Adbrite won't let me advertise either, even if I claim to be selling incense. I gotta try and get the $5 back from them, because they haven't run a single ad for me. I haven't try Overture yet, I'll give them a try.
So far I've had the best success with Amazon/Clickriver. The minimum CPC is $.10 which kind of sucks, but they let me make really obnoxious advertisements about kratom. They also give you as many impressions as you want. I'm up to 50,000 impressions with a .03% click through rate; it's great that they don't cut or overcharge for low click through ads.
Keep on buying ads like that until you find the right ones, over a few months I was able to find the good sites that had low prices for there ads (far too low, like $5 to $10 a month). Now I get significant traffic for almost no money compared to spending huge sums on Google Adwords. Adbrite is excellent over the long haul.
