Hi warriors, As a thank you for all the fine posts and quality threads I have read here on the Warrior Forum I decided to give you some insight on a new case study. This made me $160.80 net profit in 48 hours and its completely scalable as I can now "roll out" to better PPC traffic networks. Case Study: Make money by direct linking to a CPA offer using PPC Money spend: $120 Traffic source: 7search.com Affiliate offer: Dating site Payout: $3.90 per sign up Here are the steps I did to make this work and made an extra buck: Step1. I decided to promote a dating offer and went to my CPA network and contacted my affiliate manager to ask him what offers are converting the best with PPC traffic. After some email discussions I made my choice and decided to promote a dating offer that paid out $3.90 per sign up. Step2. I created a keyword list of around 6,900 related keywords around the dating niche. I did this by gathering LSI keywords of broad and high searched for keywords and then gathered more keywords from those LSI keywords. Tool I used was just the Google Keyword Tool. Step3. I went to 7search.com and created a campaign with 2 text ads variations and copied and pasted all the keywords in to the campaign. Each ad text had the direct affiliate link in the destination url with the tracking prefix "7search-###KEYWORD###" in the sub id of my link. This way I can track which keywords are converting and which are not Step4. I took the tracking code from 7search.com and submitted it into my Affiliate Account in the "add pixel" of the offer. Step5. I waited for the campaign to get approved and then I let it run for 24 hours. Step6. After 24 hours I went back into my campaign and saw that I had 34 conversions. I deleted the keywords that were not converting and I kept the keywords that were converting really well. I let it run again for another 24 hours with converting keywords. Step7. Another 24 hours had passed and I logged in and saw I had in total 72 conversions with ONLY 28 keywords (all from that initial 6,900 keywords). In total I spend $120 on the keywords and made $280.80. I paid 22 cents per click and had around 545 clicks and forced the campaign to a 13.2% conversion rate. Conclusion: This campaign is now making me between $60 and $70 per day. This is just ONE campaign and now I can roll it out to PPC networks that have better traffic quality (a bit more expensive) and take my winning keywords to see if they convert there as well. Oh, I didn't even test my ads or created landing pages to make more money. It really wasn't that hard as you can see but the key here is tracking and testing to make it work Now go out and make yourself some money! Thanks Frank |

Thanks for the valuable information. Can you please explain a little bit the procedure on how you gathered keywords (and LSI keywords) using the Google keyword tool? (I am a newbie and I appreciate if you could help me on this) Thanks |

This is really how simple it is to get started. People need to get up and start doing this instead of hesitating.

You just direct linking then? Or sending the traffic to a domain that 301's to your affiliate link? But nice story and good post |

I think the one big thing about this is that it shows people how many of your keywords were not successful but a small handful were really successful. I've talked to some people where they just choose a few obvious keywords and could run with them, but are totally missing out on other (cheaper) opportunities on other keywords.

Firstly I just want to say congratulations on your success. You've given me some inspiration to try CPA with PPC. My business is purely SEO and content marketing based as I burnt myself with PPC years ago when I was just starting out. I'm itching to try CPA and have been toying with the idea recently. I just happened to notice this thread and I'm glad I did. Thank you for sharing. ~Russ |

Great thread! Dating, gaming, mobile, etc... These niches are great for simple campaigns on traffic sources like Facebook, PoF, 7Search, etc. People tend to over complicate the process, but at the end it's all about testing. Thanks for sharing! W

Great to hear your success, could you please explain the step 3: "Step3. I went to 7search.com and created a campaign with 2 text ads variations and copied and pasted all the keywords in to the campaign. Each ad text had the direct affiliate link in the destination url with the tracking prefix "7search-###KEYWORD###" in the sub id of my link. This way I can track which keywords are converting and which are not" I understand the you put the "7search-###KEYWORD###" at the end of the affilite link but how would that be tracked, don't you only see the clicks and conversion in throught your network? Do you set up proper 202 tracking pixel or something? Anyone else please feel free to jump in, Thanks. |

Then start getting to action!! CPA is great! In my personal opinion, the actual network you belong to is one of the least important variables to CPA success in the beginning. Most of the mid to large networks have similar offers with similar payouts...that becomes more important when you start driving a lot of traffic and are working on slimmer margins! To the OP...nice work dude! | |

That's a great job there. PPC is always risky. Did you try only 2 ads? Is this a specific dating type CPA like christians, older women...? |

Great Steps and awesome you took action. To really help beginners you should eventually provide all the research and keywords you have used. This will give them a better idea... of course after you run it dry ![]() CHAD |

I was just TODAY considering using PPC to promote CPA, and also maybe some affiliate stuff, but wanted to start with CPA as they convert better. I was also trying to decide who to use: adbrite, bidvertiser, 7search of the many more that exist and I couldn't make up my mind. | |

Finding a network with Exclusive offers in dating is the key way to go. Also, your AM should be asking lots of questions because they SHOULD have a bird's eye view of the industry. This company out of Sarasota rocks it by guiding publishers with what offers they should promote, where and how based on their abilities.

"This campaign is now making me between $60 and $70 per day. This is just ONE campaign and now I can roll it out to PPC networks that have better traffic quality" Good job. But other PPC networks like Adwords or Adcenter won't let you direct link. |
