Hello Warriors,

I have been working with lot of traffic sources and networks this year I can name from them Bing (PPC), Facebook (CPC), POF (CPM), Direct CPV (PPV) Leadimpact (PPV), Adhitz (Banner advertising) and 7search (PPC).

The result is that I made most ROI using 7search with almost 10% of my budget.

Believe it or not 7search PPC is my #1 traffic source for this year.

So what is you best paid traffic source for this year?

I'm using 7search but I keep losing money. There are different opinions about it. some people Like it much and some others says about it it is no goo at all

can you help with any advice how to advertize on 7search ?

Mahmoud Selman

My success key on 7search is the tracking. Without tracking your winner keywords it will be hard to optimize and scale your campaigns and make money.

Facebook ads have worked best for me. I love how it allows you to target very specific demographics.

I have used 7 search for the last 2-3 years and it really is hit or miss. some campaign do really well. others flop with no return.

I personally think niche PPC platforms and niche and private media buys are where the opportunity is at right now for the upcoming few years.

Think a little outside the box here!

I use facebook advertising from 2010 until now. its good ppc advertising if you know how to get exactly product and demographic target. its important because fb ads use demographic like country, age, gender, education, interest, etc

Leadimpact (PPV) is my no. 1 traffic source for this year.

Naveen K

My best is Bing, Lead impact and 7 search.
But in 7search I get mixed results everytime, sometimes I make a lot using 7search and in some days don't even get back what I have invested in them.

powerofschool

According to my experience in 7search I invested for some time. I did not got loss but did not got much profits in it. And Facebook advertising is the best income source for me from 3 years. It has good target advertising.

Just for trial, i used clickbank products to sell on 7search. Got one success but I am not able to track keywords.

Is there any way to do this?

Naveen K

Use prosper202 for tracking keywords.

keven brown

I think Bing. thats's my personal experience . After running PPC on Googel and Bing I think Bing gives best ROI.

great info on here and i'm glad you've posted it, thanks!

Kenster

Google is one of the tougher platforms to do any type of affiliate marketing on. Now your funnel needs to be so indirect to pass the restrictions that it really drives down conversion and your margin therefore suffers.

There are still many people profiting, but it's tough and getting tougher!

7search has been the best ROI wise.

A lot fail with it because they treat it like they used to run their Adwords accounts.

MediaEncounterOmar

i think i might go with 7search. Only thing is sometimes your campaigns could really flop.

Just look at the top paying 500 keywords on 7search to see all the pharma crap. It's hit and miss, but we've had some huge winners. Remember ad scheduling/day parting and cut all the non-performers out of your campaign and keep testing new keywords :-)

good info here! I mostly run organic traffic on Google and some PPV on LeadImpact. But looking for new traffic sources - paid or free specific for UK market.
Anybody know and willing to share any info on UK traffic sources?

jamesboulay

I've been using the paid traffic idea's, however they are no where near what free traffic (article and forum marketing) have produced for me.
I used to have awesome results with PPC, however it seemed like overnight the results ran into a wall and fell apart.

Wow amazing, no Google Adwords?? Aren't they supposed to be like THE BEST?

calfred

Yes, that's true.

It's not really consistent.

Some days there are conversions on winning keywords and some days no conversions at all. Weird!

Sorry mate, this kind of self promotion is against WF rules.

Mahmoud Selman

No, I gave up on google adwords long time ago. They don't like affiliates.

really?
i just start thinking to start a campaign there
hmm,,,seems i'll cancel it

Ruck

To each his own but we've spent millions with Google for over a half-decade as affiliates, advertisers and I've helped managed countless campaigns on Adwords with affiliates as an Affiliate network owner.

They don't like affiliates?

That isn't correct but only because we are still advertising as affiliates on there with 7 figure spends with them. In truth, they don't like affiliate sites that don't add value. It's as simple as that.

Not trying to push anyone into Adwords but by discrediting them as a traffic source would be to give up traffic from advertising sources such as:

Search Ads:

Computer
Tablets
Mobile phones

Display Network
Promoted Video Ads On Youtube
Click to Play Ads On Display Network
Google TV Ads

Mobile Ads:
Text Ads
Click To Call Call Extensions

Click To Download
Hyperlocal Ads
Ad Sitelinks

And this isn't all of their advertising options. Just my $0.02

Woohoo....
I have signup an advertiser account. Let me wait my success now.

Kenster

Yep, there is more consistency when you start driving more and more traffic...essentially when your sample size is larger.

It's certainly frustrating when working with smaller traffic number because a keyword can make you a few hundo one day and the next day you can lose money from it. At the end of the day, there will be good days and bad ones, it's just a matter of making the most out of the good ones and minimizing the bad ones!

Well, that's an interesting discussion here. But I personally promote my offers using media buying based on CPM. It also works well.

Have to try 7search as well. Maybe I will switch on to another strategy after that.

Simple Answer Google hates affiliates ...

MrGreenAM

There is no "best". I know affiliates who have generated millions on Facebook, Adwords, PPV, Mobile and Media Buying. All those traffic sources are still primed to generate more millions with.

My advice: Don't run around trying keep up with the "best" "hottest" traffic source. Master one, then you can move onto another.

ben565

actually your site could add all the value in the world but if google find one affiliate link on your site they will suspend or ban you.

PPC-Coach

It's true they don't like affiliate sites that don't add value. You can't do what you used to get away with on there anymore. Lots of guys are cloaking Adwords still and always have, but it's the ones putting up doorway pages that Google hates.

You can still use them, it's just more work then it used to be, that's all.

Ruck

Interesting. I beg to differ. I could put up over $250,000.00 in affiliate commission screenshots from the last 4 months on just one of my sites but what would that prove? People will believe what they want to believe.

Maybe read this.

Been advertising for a half-decade and never been "suspended" or "banned". Think more towards "Lead Generation Funnels" and not lazy direct linking, review pages or that crap that has been and still is being preached. Guaranteed, you'll have much better results.

Yes, perfectly said Will. ^^^ Of course you know

Wise words by Green. This is one of the top killers for most pubs. Always jumping from one thing to the next. You can still kill with Facebook and of course Adwords... basically, if you can get volume, from real users, you can do well.

In terms of what Ruck said this is really important. He said "quality" content.

I keep hearing people recommend that you need XX number of pages of content on your site, and all this stuff to "get past" adwords.

Believe it or not, you can have a 5 page site running on Adwords just fine. It's not the amount of content that's important, and I'll go on record as saying it's not even about providing articles and such. It's about looking legit.

I know that doesn't really explain much, but just think of being the merchant and you'll get it.

Host and Post, white labeling offers/supps, etc. Lot's of ways to do it without getting as involved as most offer owners would.

Now, as far as SEO rankings... I will also go on record as saying the quality of the content doesn't matter as much as people think, and not as much as the quality and relevance of your linking strategy and domain. It's more about relevance, than quality when it comes to the content it seems.

I'm not an SEO guy, but I have a couple sites right now ranked on the first page of Google for fairly competitive keywords, which is only 2 pages... and the style of page and offers associated would no way in hell be allowed on Adwords right now.

I mean, if Google insists on giving me free traffic for that site and not let me put it on Adwords, who am I to argue with them.

Will that change? Googles algo's are getting better all the time. But they've always been a relevance engine first and foremost.... just don't think it's about the amount of content as much as it is the relevance of it.

swayman

It's been said all the time that content is king and Google loves it. Make your site stand out from others, be sincere about your products/services, give all the details about everything without any strings attached, these are what G wants and it's not because of affiliate link, Adwords is not just for business owners.

Don't take Adwords out of the equation, this component alone will likely contribute a big percentage of your 100% success and in term of traffic quality, Google is THE BEST and no question about it.

freddyfortunes

This is absolutely false and a simplistic way of thinking....for you affiliates out there who are considering Google you just have to stop thinking like most "quick hit" affiliates...

Google content network is still a goldmine for affiliates...its a goldmine for "real" outside the box affiliates and will always be a goldmine for affiliates...

People who say it hates affiliates have a "narrow" perspective of what affiliate marketing is...in my opinion...

Just go on any site and check out the ads there are still thousands of affiliates using google content including myself.

Facebook was probably the best for me for 2011, but it's a new year and I have scaled off into newer mediums. The key to my success in Facebook though was making sure that I stayed with the platform. The worst thing you can do is jump around. There is no best source, it's what works best for you. If you don't spend the time to learn the platform, you won't find success.
