Derek Beau has written a post about how to choose a good affiliate/CPA offer and how to promote it…

“…

  • Buy traditional CPM advertisements - Very steep learning curve and tough to initially profit from. Most ad agencies have very high minimum buys, and the majority of internet users are now blind to banners. If you have the resources to spend time and money testing before profiting, it can work.
  • Send PPC traffic directly to the merchant - Easy to get started with because no website is required, minimal startup capital is needed, and traffic can be highly targetted. This is the best method for beginners without web development knowledge because it allows them to test the waters without investing too much time and money.
  • Send PPC traffic to a landing page - Has more potential and stability than direct to merchant PPC marketing because you control the website and have the ability to add value for visitors…”

    I’ve been trying out AuctionAds on some of my entertainment sites and I have noticed two things:

    1. The Click Throught Rate is great, I’m seeing way more clicks than I did with Adsense. Also, when I had both of them on the same site having AuctionAds didn’t decrease the amount of clicks I was already getting with Adsense. Kind of like Kontera + Adsense.

    2. None of the clicks were actually making me any money. I guess the traffic isn’t in ‘buy mode’ enough even though I was displaying cell phones and other items that I thought would appeal to the entertainment crowd.

    I do like what AuctionAds has to offer and will continue to test them, but on sites in another area.

    Shoemoney

    posted by Joseph

    I read a lot of different blogs around the net to learn more about affiliate marketing, SEO, PPC, etc. But no blog has taught me more than the Shoemoney blog.

    Why is this? This is because a couple of reasons.

    • The author of the blog is Jeremy Schoemaker, who is one of the most successful Search Engine Marketing experts around.
    • Because of all the success, Jeremy can afford to share information through his blog and not be threatened by the competition it may bring.
    • Honesty.

    I take a look at just about all his posts, but some are more useful to internet marketers than others. Jeremy goes over cloaking and Google’s Quality score which was a huge blow to a lot of affiliate marketers. He also explains why affiliates are so important to merchants today. Another article that got lots of link and digg love was his prediction on why Microsoft will acquire Yahoo in 2007 where he throws up a lot of valid reasons. The SERPS Tool also rocks.

    Not only is there a blog, but there is also a podcast by Shoemoney where he shares tons a valuable info. This is partially because they are unscripted, so many questions are on the spot. The name of the podcast is Net Income, and I do recommend it to anyone in the internet marketing game. He picks the brains of many experts on the show, and he has more than 20 shows so that should keep anyone busy for a while.

    Lastly, I’d like to thank Shoemoney because I honestly DO make more money because of the things he has brought to my attention through his blog and his podcast.

    This is why he has been on my blogroll since I started this blog.

    I heard about Crazyegg (a javascript click tracker) from the Shoemoney podcast and decided to give it a try. I put it on three of my sites and was very pleased with the results. It shows where people are clicking and shows it in sort of a heatmap.

    This is great but I noticed that the script was Read the rest of this entry »

    CPA Networks

    posted by Joseph

    In my opinion CPA networks can make you a lot more money and faster than contextual ads like google or yahoo. But only if done right. Of course it is simpler to have a site or blog and slap google ads on it and make money simply from clicks. The companies that I have had the best results with are Azoogle Ads and Maxbounty although Read the rest of this entry »

    I own a lot of different blogs, and it is important to have the right advertising campaigns to make your blog the most profitable. For this I recommend Google Adsense, Text-Link-Ads, Adbrite, and Clicksor. These are all trustworthy and secure companies and can help you make A LOT of money. Also, these are not hard campaigns to get approved for. Some campaigns make you wait weeks for an acceptance (or denial) when they say their processing time is only three business days! Which is very frustrating. Stick to the best and you will continue to build your money and your blogs value.
