PPC-to-CPA Questions (SOLVED)

SRLee · 09-26-2009, 11:30 AM

Questions Solved! But of course, the Q&As will not be deleted.

Hello Warriors!

I have several questions about PPC-to-CPA and I hope they can be solved.

I am sure there are many other new marketers that are interested in these questions as well, so please help all the new marketers.

There are 8 questions in total. Please answer the question(s) in detail, if possible. However, simple answers that are clear and precise is very much welcome.

Questions:

1. Can I link directly to the CPA offer?
2. Do you gather tens of thousands of keywords for one campaign?
3. How do you manage your keywords in a particular campaign if you have more than 1,000 keywords?
4. How do you test and track so many keywords in a particular campaign?
5. How is it possible to profit when the CPC is $0.50 but the payout is $1.50(an example of PPC-to-Email submit)?
6. How many keywords do I need to start a campaign?
7. Is it absolutely necessary to get my ad listed on the front page?
8. What should I take note of when doing my keyword research?

Thanks in advance!

Hi SRLee,

I'll tackle #1 for you. Yes you can direct link IF the network or merchant allows it. Some affiliate programs prohibit direct linking, but I'm not sure if CPA network offers do.

Be aware that with Google Adwords there is an issue. She only allows one ad per unique domain. So if the merchant or other affiliates are driving traffic direct to the offer page, then only one ad will show. So you will be competing based on highest bid and quality score.

Additionally there are some benefits to driving traffic to your own landing page, but it is more work. Some super affiliates advocate direct linking, just in the beginning to test an offer before going to the trouble of building a site for the offer. So that's one strategy.

Hope this helps and best of luck!

Referring to the BOLDED part of your reply, can you please elaborate more on that?

Let's say you and I are both trying to link directly to one CPA offer. You bid $1.00, and I bid $1.10. This means that my ad will be displayed instead of yours?

And if you raise it to $1.20, your ad gets displayed instead of mine?

Thanks

seolinker · 09-29-2009, 10:45 AM

No, the one which will be displayed is the one with higher CTR.

1) You can direct link sometimes
2) No
3) Divide them
4) Prosper 202
5) It's impossible
6) It depends, few hundreds
7) Yes
8) If you can handle above 7 you should know the answer

ppcpimp · 09-29-2009, 02:17 PM

1. yes. Should you is another question.
2. No. As a newb you shouldn't either
3. group them
4. i have a software that does that
5. not only is it possible it is being done. but again as a newb although it may seem the easiest niche to tackle it is def not.
6. depends on the offer - I would go with a hundred and broaden from there if I were beginning again.
7. if you don't pull the keyword
8. competition

Thanks everyone!

I'm sorry for the late reply, but my internet connection was down for the past few days!

Again, thanks!

As a newbie is it wise for me to purchase G. Chaundhry PPV system. Would appreciate any answers and if anyone would want to coach me in this I would be thrilled--for pay naturally.

hay Jeanmarie,Goher Chaudhry is Awesome At Cpa,if You newbie In Internet Marketing I recommend You 'PAY PER CLICK FORMULA 2.0 BY G.CHAUDHRY." I have this Product. I don't knw much abt ppv 2.0 but in future i defiantly buy this.

Multinetting · 10-09-2009, 07:41 AM

Questions:

1. YES, but Google won't let you display a different URL to destination, and these offers always have their own redirects.
2. NO NO NO. Start off with about 20. If you go after too many, your click thru rate suffers and you end up being penalised.
3. See 2 above. If you MUST, split them into separate landing pages in separate ad groups.
4. Google analytics, and the merchant allows a tracker on the end of the url they give. One per keyword....if you wish.
5. Good question, the answer is obvious...you probably won't. Look for the field telling you EPC...earnings per click on the CPA network.
6. See 2 above.
7. Position 4/5 as a minimum, otherwise you won't get any clicks...
8. Number of visists recorded, allied to cost of each click, then competition on that keyword.

I have just got hold of ZERO Friction, and If you are a newbie....you should buy this. Not sure about the one you mention, but this guy also has a good rep, so you won't go far wrong.

CLcrax23 · 10-09-2009, 08:19 AM

I know this was changed to "solved" but I really couldn't hold back on this one.

I will address ONE question which will also answer all your other questions:

Question - "How is it possible to profit when the CPC is $0.50 but the payout is $1.50(an example of PPC-to-Email submit)?"

The answer is you cant! There are thousands of ways to promote CPA programs that are extremely profitable. I've made about 70% of my income from simple zip/email subs over the past 5 years. Use only free forms of advertising such as craigslist (goldmine), socials, and things like that. Tweek your camps on the classifieds and on the socials and once you get something that works, your good to go.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Don't want to hijack this thread but what network allows you to use Craigslist or are you email harvesting? Thanks.

Is it good to have less than 100 keywords when you are a new and then when you get experience you can start with much more. PPC Classroom tells people to start with 500 at a minimum but that just seems unmanageable when you are new to ppc.

Any advice would be appreciate, my friend and I are discussing which way is better less or more to start out with.

LittleMike · 11-03-2009, 05:11 PM

Good responses, gang. I had some of these questions too, so thanks for that.

Off topic - CLcrax23 I see you're on Long Island. Cool, me too

Jgregory · 11-05-2009, 03:55 AM

Email and Zip submits are best suited to the Content Network, not Search where you will likely encounter bid prices that make the ROI a money-loser.

Losing ROI = situation where you wind up paying $1.50 to earn $1

Content Network - recommend you study well before diving in. The bar has been raised and it's fast becoming a minefield for beginners

Glad to know it solved already. So we can wrapped this and move on to next thread.
Never lose any hope and always learn from the experts.
