It all going to depend on the offer and also the requirement of the offer promotion. I have been using a lot of Youtube Videos in my promotions. Creating free Wordpress blogs with targeted keywords. I have have used Craiglist a lot, banners and Media Buys.

Personally, i used Video source not only from Youtube, but from other source as well. Unfortunatelly, the results are not so good. For that reason, the best source is still PPC (but you can use not only Adwords). |

| PPC content networks text/image ads are the most profitable source of traffic due to the huge volume available. The only source that has more potential are media buys.

So I see everyone keeps saying PPC. What I don't like about PPC is that they cost way too much, and it can take over 3-7 days to see any profit or to break even. I think social networking, article marketing, and other methods are the best way to get traffic to your CPA campaign. its all about Backlinks and how much you can get in one day.

For those using PPC for CPA what type of margins do you look for (CPC and EPC)? What is considered a good CPC, conversion rate and CPA for a successful campaign? ex) $0.35 CPC, 20% conversion rate on a $2 CPA offer would be typical (14% ROI)? |

| PPC is good (if you do it right), Videos are the next generation lead capture. I think training videos are going to emerge bigger than ever for loyalty. Just my take on it... |

This is kinda funny. You all have covered every conceivable traffic source in this thread. Bottom line... there is NO perfect traffic source and NO EASY way to drive traffic (unless you have a huge budget or just hit the right sweet spot). When I went through the Arbitrage Conspiracy course, there was a guy named Anthony who was putting up like 20 campaigns PER DAY! After something like 300 campaigns, he found a golden nugget, ramped it up and is now making huge money in CPA. The point is, he risked it all, spent massive amounts of money on his credit cards and hit the gold mine. I am convinced that I could easily find a golden nugget today, put it together and have it profitable in 2-4 weeks using PPC, but I would probably LOSE 5-10K before I became profitable. That is called the cost of doing business. And I think jeffm58 is right... with all that it takes to win big in CPA (like any business) do you think that Anthony is going to come on this forum and tell us exactly how he did it. Not gonna happen. My advice (for what it is worth)... keep your day job. Study campaigns on Google and Yahoo for 4-6 weeks in your preferred niche. See which landing pages have staying power, build a similar landing page. Research and write articles to drive natural traffic (the best way to do this is to BUY the product you want to promote and make sure it is legit, and then write about the business model, etc.) Use social networking, bookmarks, etc. Write lots of posts on Squidoo and Hubpages. Write a good Press Release and use PRWeb. Some of this will cost money. It is all hard work. On the web, there is no more free and easy ride. BTW... I haven't used PPV, but I am considering it. I have a feeling though that, as some have said in this thread, it is still going to depend on LP, offer, keywords, etc. The ONLY way to know with anything is to test, test & test some more. Hope that helps! Tony |

Amazing how the only types of Traffic everyone is using is traffic that is not guaranteed and purchased through an open auction where there is no barrier to entry. You work hard to develop margins and then anyone can come along, not know what they're doing and take your margins away by overbidding. They eventually go away and your margins are back and then a new crop comes in. It's insane. The fact that you can "overbid and then lower your bids as you build "Quality Score"" is a freaking waste of time too. You can only drop your bids as low as the person's bid under you. You will NEVER pay less than the 2nd best bidder (as was explained in Google's own video on the Search Auction system). Why not buy guaranteed traffic and then control your costs from the start by being a better marketer? Media Buys is the only way. What would you do with $.15 diet clicks and no quality score? Mass Markets is where the money is. Penetrating those markets with Search is a waste of time and money. |

I believe if you can get an organic search should be your first step for traffic because of cost. Really the best source is the one that works for you. Whatever that is. |

There is one important point that you need to know here - in order to get a consistent traffic organic search engine results page you need to optimize your site properly . And , this usually takes time and resource . So , for instant results it is better to go with other traffic regeneration source like videos . Mike | |

| The acronym stands for "Pay per view". Which sounds nice enough, but masks what it really is: adware. It works by getting a PPV program installed on the user's computer. Sometimes this program is something that the user installs voluntarily, because it has some other feature they want, and they perhaps don't realize that it also will run ads. Or it's disguised as something else, like a free video game. But it can also be a flat-out virus that installs itself forcibly, without the computer's owner being aware at all. Once the PPV program is installed, when the user visits certain sites, or searches on google.com for certain keywords, a new window will pop up containing the marketed website. Each such window pop-up is a "view". The marketer pays per "view" to the people who wrote the adware program/virus. Since sometimes the user installs the PPV adware voluntarily, some marketers rationalize it as being ok and not black-hat. I don't; if the user really knew what they were getting into by installing it, they wouldn't. More information: natespost.com/index.php/ppv-pay-per-view-marketing/ (BTW, to be clear, PPV is not the same as paying per ad impression on a website that serves ads. Which is totally legit.) |

Thanks a lot for that explanation. I was wondering what PPV was. And for the record, i hate those damn PPV using programs. Anyhow, with regards to the topic, PPC for long tail searches and SEO + article marketing for the more competitive words. Thats the combo that seems to work best for me | |

When you say PPC, it doesn't mean what it used to: target keywords on Google, bid for spot on first page, hope for the best. Now that you can buy CPM impressions on Google, target a SPECIFIC AREA on a SPECIFIC SITE, etc. the playing field has gotten a lot different. And a lot better, in my opinion. If you find a vertical niche and forums, etc. that serve that niche, PPC is the way to hit them where they (almost literally) live in a relatively cost-effective way (still has to convert to sales). Fighting it out for Pg1 of Google is for people who are just now reading the ebook guru courses they bought in early 2008. Those old courses do serve as a great method to burn out newbie marketers, keeping them from bidding up the keywords which makes it costly for the rest of us. Present company excepted, of course! ![]() Quote:

Does anyone use free classifieds for CPA offers? I've made money with them, but certainly not like PPC. I've lost so much on PPC, I don't feel comfortable using it yet... You get to the point you just don't want to keep loosing, until you have a better grasp on PPC, which I believe takes quite a bit to master...

Hello! My best traffic source has always been Google Adwords, however as has been discussed, it is something you must learn over time...or get your head handed to you! The good news it that it can be learned. Pick an expert, get their stuff and study it. I am currently heavily into Web 2.0...Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, with great results. I like these approaches as it is literally zero cost...just your time! Live the Dream! Tim |

Hey! Totally agree...here's how to determine the "real" experts online. Go to their web pages, copy them to a text file and go to Alexa and put the sites in to see where they rank. "Real" experts get traffic and rankings and good feedback/comments. Buy the stuff of the expert how is still actively involved in marketing something online, not just teaching theory from the 80's. Hope this helps! Tim |

Most effective has to be pay per click...that audience is already interested in the product....all other methods have to convince a consumer otherwise. However getting the most effective audience doesn't mean it is the most effective for you business. PPC is not always as scalable as other channels. I hope that helps. |

So videos have been mentioned a lot for advertising CPA offers. But how is it used? Do you have the video linked straight to the CPA offer or do you have it go to your website and look to convert from there??? |
