You do not need a big investment to start PPC.

Just start with small amount and re-invest from your profit .

It's a quality video, watermarked with web site URL. Clickthru about 1% to a CPA offer.

Youtube for my niche appears to attract 'lookers'. Then again, I'll probably try another niche.

Don't forget cashflow Mike. Once you find that winning campaign you need to crank it up. You won't make any money if you don't have the available funds if using PPC.

I agree with you Thomas.

As you said cranking is the key .

star007 · 03-01-2009, 06:05 PM

I never thought about video as a way to promote CPA offers, but why not? They are used to promote everything else. Cool idea.

What cpa networks do you like and are they difficult to get into? I've heard some are.

The point that you should note here is that , it is not only cheap traffic and CTR that determines your success .

The most important think is ROI .

The traffic you get must be highly targeted that can easily be converted to Cash.

You could try using traffic exchanges. I've gotten a buttload of clicks for offers that I posted on them. The only downside that I am aware of to traffic exchanges is that the conversion rate tends to be low.

Even though I did not test traffic exchange for CPA offers , it seems for me that it is really not effective in in terms of time invested .

Personally, content network is more profitable. If you know how to setup campaigns properly, you can get very targeted traffic that converts just as good if not better than search traffic at a much cheaper rate.

I use the content network on 80% of my adwords campaigns because I have developed a strategy that is very effective.

Search and Content are two different animals. You need to put just as much training, testing, trial and error to learn the content network as you do for search. That is why it is more profitable for me. I have put in the effort to learn the science of being successful with the content network because I found early on that it is a goldmine if you know what you are doing.

I hope that helps.

How can you make a reply like that?

Thats basically saying "if you are doing something you shouldn't be doing, make sure you don't get caught, because then its OK".

Wouldn't a proper reply be "don't do that crap!" ?

This kind of attitude just makes CPA harder for the ones who want to do it legit. This is exactly why there are so many threads here from people asking why they have such a hard time getting accepted into certain CPA networks.

cowboyrob · 03-13-2009, 10:37 PM

This post was spot-on, Doug. I appreciate legitimate business practices.

To me, the most effective traffic source can be subjective in nature. While a "BlueFart" way of advertising a CPA offer may be extremely profitable (for the short-term, mind you), it isn't exactly the most "effective" for my all-around goal. My all-around goal would be to conduct a business in a way that I can be proud of.

The general rule of thumb that I like to stick to is, "If I can't tell my mom about it on the phone, I shouldn't be doing it."

Anyway... for me, article marketing is the most effective traffic source.

BlueFart doesnt have to mean "blatantly ripping off the network". There are many BlueFart methods, that while could be considered "unconventional" still bring in real leads to the merchant.

And the networks and merchants themselves are extreeeeeemely far from being 100% "whitehat" themselves. When you get 25-75% of your leads shaved on a certain offer, what do you call that? A "legitimate business practice" indeed lol.

What about those "FREE TRIAL!!" offers, which have a text at the bottom of the page in 2 pt font saying "If you do not cancel your trial in 3 days, you will be charged $19379824091.32 a month forever blah blah". Is that considered "ethical" for the customers too?

Im not condoning blatant theft, but it should be known that its not only the affiliates which practice "BlueFart" methods.

I don't know why some have recently decided to use the term BlueFart to correspond to 'creative but allowed' methods.

Look up the origins of BlueFart from its start in the old cowboy days. Bad, evil....
Look up the origins of BlueFart in the context of SEO. Ask Matt Cutts what he thinks of BlueFart seo.

If these 'unconventional' methods were not against the rules of the particular CPA network in question and were bringing in 'real leads', then its not BlueFart, and more importantly, you'd have absolutely NO reason to hide what you are doing, or to 'be careful' like was originally suggested.

These CPA networks are only trying to protect themselves AND their advertisers - the very people who some of you are making a living from. If you aren't following their rules and TOS, then it just isn't right, and I don't know how anyone could even begin to make an argument against that.

Actually I am not very secretive about my methods. I was just answering the question that was posed.

However, I am currently working on a product that teaches exactly how I use the content network.

A few tips to consider:

Always separate content and search campaigns.
Content campaigns are triggered at the adgroup level and are based on a group of keywords, unlike search which ads are triggered based on a single keyword.
Free trials, lead generation, squeeze pages, zip submits, etc. tend to work better on the content network because consumers are acting on impulse rather than being in search mode. Low cost products also work very well.
Ugly image ads have a higher click thru rate. It may sound silly, but I have tested this thoroughly. I believe it is because ugly image ads stand out on a page and draw attention. Every website wants their site to look pretty, so when you see an ugly ad, it sticks out like a sore thumb. The ad must also have a high sense of urgency and they will click. The destination you send them to is an entirely different story. That is where your conversion rates are affected. You gotta have a very compelling and implusive offer.
The content network is great for branding. If you have a company and you want to do some low cost branding, it's the perfect place to start.

Obviously there is way more information that I can cover on this. This is why I believe there is a demand for a product in which someone can teach the proper strategies for using the content network effectively.

I hope these few tips will help you get started. The content network is totally different from search, so learn as much as you can about how they differ.

I am building a list of names for my product review if anyone is interested. I am only going to pick about 20 people, so PM me if interested.

For offers that will last over time the best option is to start the campaign with PPC and build solid organic traffic forever. This will require some effort in the beginning but create campaigns that will generate income hands free for the future.

Best to all

Combination of PPC and SEO is a good strategy . While one is best for short term basis , you can still use both of them for long term basis.

PPC Search generates more targeted traffic than PPC Content Network. PPC. this is due to the fact that your ad will only show to those who seach for words related to your ad keyword which inturn will eliminate unwanted clicks on ur ad. i use ppc seach for my CPA and i have very good impressive clicks.

I agree with you Mike.

I actually do quite well using the content network.

If you really think about how vast the content network is, you can't find a place to get more exposure for potential traffic than Google's content network.

I don't have anything against search, I just think people tend to write off the content network because they don't understand how to use it.

It is actually better for me right now because the competition is not as high and clicks come at much cheaper price.

As you said traffic from the search engine is highly targeted , but for if your website is new , you are going to take time until you position your site in to the top search engine ranking .

SO, I highly recommend that you incorporate short term and long term traffic methods so as to get the most from your efforts . Traffic sources mentioned earlier , such as PPC is good for short term traffic sources.
