Venturing into PPC - Case Study/Journal Thread
Or perhaps not.
Point is: I'll be starting my paid traffic experiments and I'll document it in this thread.
Some Background:
I've been doing "online business" in the broadest sense for quite a long time and I've been doing the things most people recognize as Internet marketing (SEO, creating affiliate websites, link-building, article marketing,...) for a few months. I'm having quite a lot of fun with that and I'm definitely going to keep doing the SEO and free traffic stuff.
However, I've been getting the itch to try something new and started researching PPC and CPV a few weeks ago. Just around that time, the Magic Bullet Systems started it's launch and I thought that might be a good opportunity and signed up.
As it turns out, the MBS might be a good opportunity, but we won't know anytime soon. If you want to know more about this, you can read up on it here. (Dear mods, this link goes to an un-monetized tumblr-blog)
Anyway: I've decided to get started with paid traffic and I'm still very much in the learning phase.
My progress so far is as follows:
- Spent a lot of time reading up on PPC and CPV
- Decided to get started with PPC
- Signed up for several CPA networks and have been approved to three of them, so far (others still pending and I still need to get on the phone to several aff managers)
- Researched tons of different offers and decided to get started with some freebie offers.
- Built two sites on which I can promote offers, a few more in the making.
- Signed up for Tracking202 and got stuck half-way through the setup. Reading about subids and tracking pixels is easier than actually setting that stuff up...
Next steps:
- Finish Tracking202 setup
- Build first landing page for one of the offers
- Throw a bit of cheap traffic at it (I'm thinking either Yahoo/MSN or G content network).
I actually don't want to start with Google search PPC, since that seems to be expensive traffic with a chance of ban-hammers. Volume-wise Yahoo/MSN won't make me a millionaire overnight, but then again, making all my newbie mistakes on the largest, most expensive plattfrom won't do that either.
Okay, I think that's about it for the introductory post. Any comments and tips and so on are, of course, welcome.
Cheers,
Shane
