Affiliate Marketing Blog |

I would love to get into affiliate marketing and have heard a lot about PPC. From my understanding it can be very profitable but can also destroy your pocketbook. I was thinking about hiring a ppc marketing firm. I have a list of the top 20 companies. What do you think (those of you who have experience in ppc) about using this approach as a newbie?

I have a product I have given to a PPC firm to push. PPC marketing can be very profitable if you have a niche product or run offline media. Most affiliate programs do not allow PPC (the quality ones at least). I am currently running TV and Radio which clearly give me a lift in my PPC campaign.

I’ve joined quite a few free traffic sites, but I want LOTS of traffic. I get paid for free members as well as unique ip’s.

There are many ways that would help you increase traffic to your website:

1st try to get more back links to your website and the easiest way to do that is by submitting your website to free web directories such as:

http://www.lii.org
http://www.dmoz.org
http://www.surformation.com

2nd Try promoting your website on social networking websites such as twitter

3rd and most importantly, provide quality content, this is an indirect way to get back links by genuinely driving people to link to your website.

I started a week ago. I am working in the Pay-per-Click option. My stats show that I already made $55 till now. Minimum payout is $50. So I want to first get this money, then continue with promoting.
But I receive a message from them that says my conversion rate is not sufficient, so my account might be converted to %age option.
What is you experience with them? Do they really pay or keep making excuses and delaying the payment?

They never paid me they did the same thing. They kept making excuses. I tried this new progam and they pay on time and you can make good money check it out. http://bit.ly/dhVczt

I’ve had a very nice idea for a website which opens a very good opportunity to advertise maps for sale. Would I be better off using an affiliate method via Amazon or Google? I COULD go directly to an on-line retailer as my website will utilise pay-per-click payment via PayPal anyway so should I stick with this & cut out the middleman? Does anyone know what rates Amazon or Google pay? Can you trust them to give you a real percentage of sales? (WHAT ARE THEY?) More importantly, how can you know what sales you’ve generated for sure?

You should either have a professional e-commerce website developed for you or sell your items via an altready established e-commerce or auction site.

I would love to write articles from home as I am unable to work with recently diagnosed fibromyalgia. I know that Associated Content only pays people in the US and some article websites have certain slots that need to be filled and require specialities. I am looking for a site like associated content, or one where writers get paid per click. I am considering starting my own blog as well but am currently unable to post frequently enough for my own page.
Thanks in advance!

I really don’t know any affiliate site that pay for articles.
but affiliates and publishers need articles to promote their books,
most of them use:
http://elance.com
so i will suggest you check them out,
if you are really good, i bet you could really make some money here.

If you are really good in writing articles, you might want to see about
compiling them into ebooks that you can sell and keep the profits.
You can do this alongside writing your articles.

Hope that helps.

The types of responses people on YA generally give about wealth are sickening to me. It becomes quickly obvious why most will NEVER get rich. Their pessimism becomes a self-fulling prophecy. I have decided to offer a few pearls of wisdom (which I am 100% certain will be misconstrued by the pessimists) and to ask a simple question.

Read first then answer question at the end please:

WEALTH TIPS:

01). Not every business opportunity is a "scam". In fact MOST of them DO make serious money for some of the people who operate them. Like everything else in life it really primarily depends upon YOU.
02). Working hard is NOT the only way to get rich. (Only the poor say differently).
03). The paths to wealth are laid out clearly for any who are sincere and will follow them.
04). Your biggest obstacle to wealth is in your own negative attitudes and with the way that you think which, for most people, is oriented towards failure and …if you’re lucky, Mediocrity at best.
05). Small investments can lead to great wealth if you have vision and understand what you are investing in and it’s potential value. (Personally earned over $400,000 from investing in a few $60 domain names before the big companies realized they would later want them.)
06). If you keep your ear close to the heartbeat of any industry you can get wealthy if you are one of the first to take advantage as the inevitable changes come within that industry. (Making money with Pay Per Click (PPC) was as easy as shooting fish in a barrel in the beginning and I made a fortune with it.) If you’d known cell phones were coming way before most ever heard of them as I did you could have made a fortune investing in the future of them.
07). The opportunities in the stock market, forex, futures markets is still HUGE if, if and only IF you know what you are doing today. Volatility is a good thing if you understand it and know how to take advantage of it.
08). It is foolish to think that a college or university professor earning maybe $78,000/year IF he’s lucky, actually is a good source for teaching you about wealth. (Ask him to tell you his net worth then run in the opposite direction if he’s less than a millionaire himself. (He can perhaps help you to get a job though.)
09). The dot com bubble bust caused a LOT of investors to make a fortune and to do so quickly as people bailed out of these stocks (because we saw it coming and understood short selling).
10). The real estate bubble bursting has caused a lot of us to make fortunes (and we continue to) because we understand how this game works.
11). Any and EVERY major change in society, good or bad, including 911; the recession; hurricane Katrina; elections; court decisions ALL of them contain hidden within them unique new opportunities to create wealth for those who understand these things.
12). Anyone can create wealth by understanding and using the power of simple multiplication as taught in 4th grade math. (If you can earn a net profit of just $10 a month from just one web site then why can’t you duplicate that and create 1000 similar sites for $10,000 a month? If you can hire one person to sell a product and earn you a lousy $50/day profit (after his commissions) then why can’t you get 10 to do the same and earn you $500/day?
13). Anybody could start an affiliate marketing business today for ZERO. If you’re just starting then there is a LOT that you’ll need to learn before you really get good and know what you’re doing but all you have to do is sign up then start promoting.
14). Creating a money-making web site or blog with adsense ads, affiliate links; PPA ads etc. is actually easy and can be done in just minutes once you know what you’re doing. The key is traffic which is actually easy to get if you know what you’re doing.
15). You do NOT need money or good credit to buy investment real estate IF you known what successful investors know.
16). You can learn all that you need to know to get rich without paying for the knowledge (and NO, I have NOTHING to sell you here.)
17). Pessimists and naysayers are always very vehemently outspoken about what does not or cannot work and it is very important to them that you believe them and do what they do …NOTHING. They need to justify their own mediocrity and their failures in life.
18). What poor parents teach their children is diametrically opposed to what the rich teach our children. They are sometimes polar opposite. The poor are poor yet too proud to admit that they don’t know what they don’t know and that what they think they know is quite obviously WRONG.

QUESTION: Why is this type of truth as I have espoused here so offensive to the ones who actually need to hear it the most? Why will MOST people ignore and NEVER explore the simple truths that I have espoused here and will instead come up with their usual pessimistic vitriol based on their own failures?

Why won’t most admit that they don’t know what they don’t know and what they th
Jeeves… people like you are quite annoying. Nobody is impressed with you being a "web developer". Most web developers know squat about making money online which is all about focusing on a niche and driving targeted traffic to it. Unfortunately people get people like you to develop sites for them and they don’t know and apparently you also have no idea how to drive traffic or you would show them. It’s not them and it’s not the site… the problem is YOU. You should find something else to do with you life. My 12 year old son can design web sites (and probably is better at it than you because I taught him everything. I’m not impressed TROLL.
Jeeves you are incredibly and unbelievable and inexcusably naive if you use YOUR personal failures or that of others to draw a conclusion. YOUR failures of the failure of those who use your crappy(obviously) site does not prove anything to be wrong. MOST people will fail at any and everything BECAUSE they are too much like YOU. THAT is the only "theory" that I have and YOU just prove it to be correct.

you have my attention… where do I start to learn what you know?

Please any body tell me that type of affiliate program in which who pay per click. furqanaziz@ymail.com

A lot of the major affiliate networks offer pay per click offers, you just have to search within the network for those specific offers. A couple major affiliate networks with such offers include:

Affiliate Fuel

Value Click Media

We’re looking to make a reality web series, and want to have people talking around a bar. Can we show different liquor bottles in the background behind the people as they talk, or would we have to get clearance from each of the different alcohol companies? We plan to monetize the website through the normal means: affiliate marketing, Google adsense & pay-per-click advertising, so this may definitely affect the answer to this question.

Many thanks!

This isn’t copyright, it’s trademark, and yes, it’s in effect for anything you show in public. Clearances are a big hassle for an independent production, so I wouldn’t spend the time or effort. The safest and simplest thing to do would either be to shoot the bottles out of focus, or make your own labels.

Does anyone know what is the best training to become a good affiliate marketer with the use of a pay per click engine like Google Adwords?

There are tons of guides out there introducing adwords, sorry them kind of become a blur to me, it’s worth viewing at least one over the shoulder tutorial video package, to ge a feel for the flow, you can probably find something at clickbank in the $20 range, though googles online educational material is extensive and will teach you all of the mechanics.

If you were investing in a single package, get something that encompasses a broader range including adwords, perhaps a general affiliate marketing package, or looking a step further, a CPA marketing package, which will often touch on PPC as one if several promotion techniques. The CPA packages tend to be pricey though, because that that way the big money hunters go.

Perry Marshal has a ton of training material out there, his definitive Adwords guide should be OK, he has a 3 level pricing arrangement starting at $49, which is something new for this sort of product, (beats back-selling the advanced version) might pay off if you need an adwords voucher.

After writing the comments, I checked, THE 2 BELOW APPEAR TO HAVE RECENTLY GONE INACTIVE, sorry about that.
One adword specific package I found useful crackingtheadwordscode.com priced at $39.95 seems to have a broken neglected cart link. Guess I and 2 year old packages are out of touch.

I found Affiliate Blueprint to be one of the most practical nuts and bolts guides with 4 1/2 hours of material showing in detail his exact day to day PPC routine, he made extensive use of spreadsheets for tracking, it was produced in 2008, if made today it would probably just add emphasis to google’s quality rating system, unfortunately has been recently pulled off the market to clear the way for the more costly Affiliate Blueprint II which is really a complimentary product, relying entirely on SEO traffic instead of PPC. While version 1 sold last for $97, version 2 is more like $397. Perhaps you can find someone with version 1.

I’m looking for an affiliate opportunity. Those that pay you per click and not for sale. Any advice out there?
I found this one to be interesting http://bizopp.usadhonep.com BUT I need advice since I’m a green pea when it comes to online income opportunity.

Carlos, if you have traffic, you must visit http://domainsponsor.com they will pay for click(s) and or searches. In the other hand if you are open to more you may want to view the video presentation at http://maxgxlbusiness.com
