Took 3 weeks to get my first conversion with SEO

Mahmoud Selman · 07-20-2011, 04:20 AM

Hello Warriors,
I have started a new website for free giveaways about 3 weeks ago and decided to let SEO take care of it and monetized it with some CPA campaigns for free products email/zip submit, And today I got my first conversion $1.40 from an Apple product campaign.

The traffic still way low, about 25 visitors per day in average.

Here is what I did and my budget:

I have managed to get this website up and running with less than $100.
1- I made my research in free giveaways keywords and got some keywords with about 100 searches per day ( Google ) and less than 80.000 competitors. ( Free version of market samurai ).
2- Bought a .com domain name for 3 years. ( About $30 )
3- Created about 10 youtube videos about the campaigns I am running on my website.
4- Submitted about 10 articles to 3 article directories.
5- Created about 20 articles with unique content, SEO optimized for my keywords and placed on my website.

I know that my CPA network are scrubbing my campaigns like hell:

But an EPC with 0.07 is kind fair.

What I want to say is: If you have a tiny budget or no budget at all You still can do it.
What you need to do is to focus, And Take action

### Update 11-07-31 ###

Here is an update that show my website progress and CTR:
The site is rising fast and doing well with a CTR of 1.09%
CTR calculated as CTR = Clicks * 100 / Ad impressions
Received 5 conversions with PeerFly this time with profit of $5

This reminds me of my first sites. I made .40c and I was so ecstatic I went out and got hammered. The first money I ever made online.

Congrats, Seems Like a lot of work for $1.40

I wish you the best of luck however ill stick yo PPC spend $25 a day make over $70, Not great but it takes maybe 10 mins a day to check and maintain ad (Not counting Lead checking) and its over 100% profit, And all i did was ad copy and adjust,

Thank you, Yes it requires lot of work. Once its rolling it will keep rolling. PPC is much profitable, but also it require hard work and lot of testing and money to find a winner campaign. I have tested this campaigns with PPC and they made about $50 daily with coast of about $20 for PPC.

COPEAC Steve · 07-20-2011, 10:26 AM

Congrats Mahmoud

Always good to see examples of taking action and seeing success. I'm sure the next time you provide us with some insight as far as the campaigns you're running and how they're doing the earnings will be much greater. Especially with the approach you take and the hard work you put in.

can you share the PPC/PPV network which you chose to spend $20.00 for this particular campaign? And how much was the conversion rate? It would be highly appreciated..

I was using Microsoft adcenter and the EPC was about 0.20. Sadly I got my account closed with no clear reason. They just said that they wont allow free stuff because it miss lead their users. Same thing for google adwords, but google never tell you why they ban you.
That's why I decided to make it with SEO, And I believe it's going to work, But needs some time.

AdWorkMedia · 07-20-2011, 11:14 PM

That's great, SEO takes time like you said, so hopefully it will pay off soon. Also, great decision to forward buy the domain to 3 years for some nice SEO juice.
