Kimkins Worth $2,676.32?

Filed under: affiliate marketing, kimkins, The Rookie's Report 

I’m doing my own Kimkins Kimmer Experiment (KE). I did some google adwords in my promotion of Kimkins. I did also advertise with MSN, and Yahoo. I just pulled up my ad spend from google, and it wasn’t pretty.

I had another silly little campaign that was well under $100, non Kimkins related, so this actual figure may be a bit lower for google. But I more than made up for it with MSN, Yahoo, and even an ebay ad I had going.

Was Kimkins worth $2,676.32? I thought so at the time. That’s a lot of money to invest toward the promotion of a product. That ad spend was the only way I knew to get on the front page of the google search. Boy, have I paid for it. This whole trauma has cost me much more in the long run.

What is the new “Kimmer Experiment?” I will make it to the front page of the google search for the keyword “Kimkins” and there will be no ad spend this time. My interest in doing this is not financial motivation. My interest is purely to get the word out about how dangerous Heidi Diaz is.

When someone does a google search for “Kimkins” the Kimkins.com website comes to the top of the search engine results. I don’t think this is the most important site. I think the sites that tell the real story of Heidi Diaz, the Russian brides, the LIES and the SCAM are what people really need to see.

Comments, and links to this blog are appreciated. I need the help of other affiliate marketers. Here is one small thing you can do. Share my story in your own promotion. Help spread the warning of how one little diet scam affects so many other things on the internet.

I will be sharing my full story of my experience with the Kimkins campaign in an ebook called The Rookie’s Report. I like the term Rookie better than Newbie. I need more stories for this book, and I would love to hear from anyone who would like to get in on it. You can get a little more information on the project at therookiesreport.info .

Please ignore the submission date ( that is getting fixed.) I thought of doing this sooner, and realized this story isn’t done yet. I’m praying that things will wrap themselves up by summer.

  8. Guess that was a lesson learned!! If the site gets shut down, then yes, the cost in the long run was worth it!! (even if it was for the wrong reason in the beginning).

  10. Excellent post, Avenue Girl.

    It was an expensive lesson but a great learning experience.

    Take consolation in the fact that all of your efforts in bringing Kimkins and Kimmer down are reaping tremendous results.

    Keep on keeping on…you’re doing an amazing job.
