What to do about my CPA site..?

James Harrison · 10-02-2010, 11:52 AM

So I am thinking about making a website that has separate pages for each CPA offer that I run on the FRONT-END (people can click on the pages) rather then on the back end (sent to the "unseen" pages via PPC)...If that doesn't make sense then tell me and I'll try to clarify. My thoughts behind this are that once people are brought to my site via PPC or some other form of traffic, they will be able to look at many offers. Obviously they will be sent to the page relevant to the ad they clicked, but having the other pages there for them to click on would be a good idea..right?

*edit*
I'll also be providing content via blog on the site to build visitor trust. I'm torn though, one part of me feels like I should just make it a strictly CPA offer site and the other part of me feels like I should make a solid content-based site and promote CPA on the side..Maybe I'll just do both..

*edit*
If I were to make this site "HUGE" (lots and lots of CPA offers presented in article form in a well structured, neat website) would I be asking for Google to slap me in the face? I'm thinking that if I provide actual value and content, Google will "ignore" me. Share your 2 cents.

Yah those are the offers that I am targeting. I'm just worried about getting beat up by google when I start my ad campaigns. Hopefully by providing content of some type I can avoid the slap.

Make sure you use the go.php file so Google doesn't see a bunch of affiliate links.

I'm not sure that I know what you are talking about..What's the go.php file?

MoneyBagsMcgee · 10-02-2010, 01:31 PM

Yeah, what is go.php?

Well I got my campaigns running, they were instantly eligible..I thought that was a bit weird. No impressions yet though.

Having real sites with content pages is good to avoid the slap.

However, giving people too many options can be a bad idea. When working with PPC you need to have clear goals and keep all your numbers under control. Avoid distraction and anything that can take people from the route that you want them to follow.

So give it a try, but if you don't get good results try to remove all the distractions and give people just one way to go.

while i am not trying to hijack James's thread, i think i have a similar problem of some sort.

I have just created a simple submit blog at www dot giftcardcafe dot blogspot dot com ( i do not have required post to be able to post links yet) . I want fellow warriors to help me review this blog and give me useful tips to make it better. Also, if i am going about it the wrong way, i'd appreciate very candid opinion i can get.
