$100+ in my first 3 days with Peerfly! Looking for motivation to continue?**2nd UPDATE 9/19/11**

***2nd UPDATE 9/19/11***Look at the end of this very first post for an update on my method!

Hi guys and gals,

I just want to offer some encouragement to everyone that might be thinking about jumping into the CPA world -- or to anyone that is already trying it out, but losing interest.

I joined PeerFly on August 21st. I tried to make some quick money with PPC - but I ended up spending about $30 and landed only 1 conversion - $1.40, yay!

So, I spent some time over the next day setting things up the right way. I found a high converting offer, did some major keyword research and set up a campaign the right way.

Over the next three days, I've made over $100 while sitting on my butt and not touching my PeerFly account -- well, I did log in several times to see how much I was making. I pretty much jumped up and down for a while.

I've included a screenshot of my earnings just to motivate anyone who might need a little CPA 'push'. I know that my earnings look like they span 4 days, but it's 3 AM here, so that final $9.80 is actually from the last 3 hours.




Keep in mind that I have NEVER been part of a CPA network and this is my first CPA campaign EVER! It is possible -- it's even pretty easy

***UPDATE 9/1/11****

This thread has received quite a response. So, I finally had some time to expand on my method with a short video...



[CENTER]***UPDATE 9/19/11****[CENTER]

Well, I'm quite surprised and happy about the response to this thread. I just wanted to update everyone on what is going on with this method...

First of all - tons of people are e-mailing me and adding me on Skype to ask me questions about CPA stuff, that's great! But, please do so in a nice manner. Don't demand information from me please. We can be civil and I am happy to share with you if you act like an adult.

Next, a few people have yelled at me because they have had their AdWords accounts suspended while trying to promote CPA offers. First of all, I'm not your momma, and you didn't pay for my method, so don't complain to me. Second, every person that has complained to me so far has had their account suspended because they keep trying to promote offers with low quality landing pages.

Here's a golden nugget for everyone - if Google turns down your ad because your are promoting a 'low quality landing page', don't just submit the ad again for review. Doing that a few times will get your account suspended.

And Remember - GOOGLE WILL SUSPEND YOU ACCOUNT IF YOU PROMOTE LANDING PAGES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE AWAY FROM! This is AdWords 101. Most people are getting in trouble because they are using landing pages with popups or exit popups (you know, those 'WAIT - I've got a special deal, click Stay On Page' boxes). These things are against AdWords policy. CPA offers with good landing pages are perfectly legal in AdWords World.

Qualities Of A Good Landing Page

When you select a CPA offer to promote in AdWords, look for an offer that uses a landing page with the following qualities:

- Selectable text - not just text within images
- Links to rules - a legal issue, Google likes to see rules
- Contact info - helps to legitimize
- No popups, easy to navigate away from - this is a huge issue for Google, visitors need to be able to click the 'close' button without being bombarded by popups.

With that said, I have recently put more money into my AdWords account and tested this method once again. Here were my results...



So, yep! It worked a second time. Everyone, I really hope that this method is helping you out. I would love to hear if anyone else is having luck!



To our success!
-Noah Whitmore

    thats great to hear.

    So my question now is, what was the "right way" of setting things up? where you still using PPC or did you try a different traffic method? How did you set things up to get this result?

    Great result.

      Congratulations Noah,

      I think it could be better if you give us your case study (not revealing the niche if you want).

      I mean what exactly have you done to make those quick dollars. I think this will be very helpful for many warriors including myself.

      I know and i`m currently doing big seo projects for my clients but i hate keyword research.......

      Regards,

      One final question for you Noah

      The $113 have been made using PPC or using SEO ?

      I tried to avoid PPc since in my opinion it`s a money eater. Since i know SEo i`d like to focus on that but i think i just need to see somebody doing this succesfully before i will begin myself......


      Anticipated thanks

        Same here.. I guess I don't also have that much cash to spend on PPC.. I'm also looking for ways to drive free traffic to my offers

    Hope you don't mind some questions.

    1. If you were using PPC, how much did you spend to earn the $113? Knowing your net profit would be much more interesting that knowing what you earned.

    2. You mentioned doing things the "right way." What does that mean? What was the wrong way? Beginners can learn from both methods.

    Thanks in advance.

      Congrats on your success Noah, great motivation to others on here to show them you can make money from CPA.

      Now you have a consistent income look for ways to scale your campaign and take it to the next level.

      As others have mentioned you stated you started doing things "the right way" could you elaborate on this. You don't necessarilly have to give away any traffic sources, landers, niche etc. but if it's beahvioural or structural changes you've made that could help others here then I'm sure many would love to hear it.

      Well done.

    i hate threads where people post about "the right way" and then they never answer as to what that actually means.

    this basically is a bragging thread more than a motivational thread from the looks of it so far

      Thank you everyone for the congrats.

      For everyone asking how I did it, it was really simple. I used Pay Per Click - I just used the keyword research methods that I have learned here to find keywords that cost me very little. In fact, my average CPC was less than $0.08 and my average earnings per click was something like $0.29. So, no it's not all profit.

      But it is profit - and now I have seed money to put back into it. In a few weeks, I see myself doing about $100 a day using this as a starting point.

      You know what? I hate forum members that expect to get something for free! I never said 'Read this thread and I'll teach you how I did it'. The title of the thread says 'Looking for motivation to continue? Here it is!'

      I don't care that you don't have the discipline to learn how to do it the 'right way' without me telling you! I spent hours and hours learning the methods that I used. I learned everything from this forum.

      If you want to learn methods to make money with CPA, go buy a WSO or use the search function to find thread with titles like 'This is how I did it' or 'Learn my method'. Not every thread needs to be a lesson for you about how to make money!

      I've added my share of my own methods and skills to the forum. The point of this thread is to show people that even someone who is new to CPA can be successful at it. I don't have to impress anyone here. I know that before I joined PeerFly, I wanted to know that people could actually money with. That is the point of my thread.

      If forum members (no one in particular ) want to complain about people not revealing their specific business strategies - go buy a WSO or find some thread meant to teach you.

        lol. i didnt say i "dont have discipline" or anything near that.

        just that your thread is a joke. you claim to offer motivation but you won't answer a couple of simple questions when people ask? but you sure did reply almost immediately when someone publicly says what everyone is privately thinking.

        i think its hilarious. and i dont need to buy a WSO to make money. just wanted to point out that you create this thread to pretty much brag about your earnings, then when people ask you a couple of questions you are nowhere to be found. you act like you have some uber-secret technique or something. hahaha

        if you are as much of a "CPA God" as you seem to think you are, you would know how to implement those keywords to generate organic traffic and you would get the same results without a PPC campaign.

        you dont always have to spend money to make money.

          I'm not at all afraid to answer simple questions. I just don't have time to constantly monitor this thread and answer questions individually. I posted this thread very late last night before I went to sleep. Then, I haven't had time to check it until just recently, and I saw your post. Felt it needed a response.

          My method:

          1. Find a high converting offer
          2. Find relevant keywords that have low CPC - I looked for CPC under 25 cents
          3. Write an ad that grabs attention
          4. Put in a low bid for your keywords - I put mine at about 15 cents for all keywords
          5. Connect the ad to your offer
          6. Watch the money come in

          That's how I did it. I'm sorry that you feel the thread is a joke. Unfortunately I don't have time to deal with forum trolls Whos That Guru, so I've blocked you and we won't be able to have these fun little chats anymore. I wish you nothing but success.

    i dont want to know the method you used.. i just posted that because im sure there are millions of other warriors who will stumble across this thread at some point, and THEY will be the ones asking. so why not post it now?

    you act like if you reveal your "secret" (which isnt really a secret, everyone knows about PPC) then your money will stop coming in. its funny

    but yea, same to you man. im not mad. im not even hating on you. im happy to see that you are making some $. just gets annoying to see everyone make a few dollars online and then start acting like they are "too good" to help beginners.

    you can't say it doesn't happen. thats all i was saying. it seemed like this thread was more of a "look what i got" thread than a motivational/informative thread..

    anyway, i too wish you the best of luck.

    Very nice Noah

    I started with Peerfly this week also. I spent about $12 on PPV and after 1600 imp's I had only one conversion = $2. Not good. I realized that in the beginning I need to generate rev without spending any money. So after some brainstorming came up with an idea. In the last 24hrs, $6, no money spent. ratio 5 clicks = 3 conversions. NICE!

    Time to scale.

    ps. can I ask what/who did you use for your PPC..adwords etc?

      Hi, my name is WebJedi and I am a CPA junkie
      I am up to 20 niche searches a day, I got it bad.

      I wanted to thank Noah for his confessional, it really helps us who are in need :rolleyes:

      I look on the SAME Peerfly screen on my account and there be NOTHING *sigh* I really am motivated to read your successes, albeit you are taking a slightly different route (PPC) than me (maybe that's why you are making some money) I have been running a month now and I think my clicks are just not very targeted, oh heck they are targeted but they may just be "tire kickers".

      On a lot of offers I see like "the 10th of the month is lockout" I don't quite get that .. that they pay on the 10th and anything after that (even if a cookie is set for 45 days and the person comes back on the 25th) it will wait to payout on the 10th?

      I have complete faith though, I KNOW it's going to work well for me, I currently have 9 sites up and running a mix of networks and 4 more sites being built.

      I am still definitely under $100 invested total so I am just waiting for my traffic to pick up through my off page SEM.

      Noah, I would like to know if you are using MS for this research .. maybe share your SEOT, PBR settings or something like that ...
      I have bought a couple lemon domains because I get too excited if I see high SEOT, med PBR and low SEOUC..

      Just want to get a better handle on the settings people are using to find such great niche keywords...

      Hey guys, i have also just joined Peerfly and am awaiting account approval. I just wanted to throw out some advice here because no one has mentioned it yet. Why not try media buying?? I see you guys are already spending money using ppc, so would it not make sense to buy banner space on another website that is already generating traffic? You can get a banner on a site for $50 - $100 if you are lucky.

      Now for finding a website to advertise on we use a tool called Double Click Ad Planner By Google. It is free, but what you do here is set up a media plan and search for the exact website you are promoting. This will bring up a whole lot of websites that people use as well as the one you are promoting. Simply go through these websites and find about 20 that you are interested in. Make contact with the website owner and be sure to ask for a week free trial to test results before committing to a full month of paid advertising.

      Use this technique with the right testing and tracking and you guys will be laughing all the way to the bank.

      Hope this post was helpful for you

        Google ad planner is no doubt a great tool for launching media buy campaigns, but we'd better first test offers through CPC to see whether they're converting or not. After that, we have more opportunity to find some killing offers via CPM/Banner placement.

        Anyway, good start Noah, PeerFly is a great network to work with if you could consistently send over quality traffic.

    One simple question, it seems you used Google Adwords and just directlinked to some e-mail/zip submit offer, right ? or like you call it, "connect ad to the offer". Well, good luck not being banned soon. It's not allowed by Google.

      I think I'll give this thread an update soon with a little bit more info about my method, but I don't have time right now. But, I thought that I would address this.

      I actually contacted Google about this. They told me that as long as the display URL on my ad matched the destination URL (after any redirections), you were fine. So, I don't see this being a problem. I even explained to them in an e-mail exactly what I was doing - I was connecting to a CA offer and I wanted to use a tracking URL, so I asked them what my display URL should be. I think that means I'm good.

        That's good to know. Thanks for share and great idea about "I just called Google for the answer" Shear genius - most people would sit there and wonder and ask on the forum for the answer and then get an answer that is wrong and lead them down the wrong road. LOL

        So in the display url field you add the CPA offer URL and in the http field you can put in a cloaked tracking link. I use Prosper202. Free and awesome.

        Check out Derrick Allen's WSO on using FB Fanpage to cleverly get not only the conversion but also capture the visitors email so you can backend market more to them...its amazing! PM me if you want the link to it.

    You must be God if Google have found the time to speak with you, while you only started to make money for them

    Problem here is actually so - it broke their rules not by display/destionation URL. They do not allow directlinking to e-mail submits at all. Problem with offer. But they for sure can not bring it to attention for sometime, after they do - account nuked.

      Problem here is actually so - it broke their rules not by display/destionation URL. They do not allow directlinking to e-mail submits at all. Problem with offer. But they for sure can not bring it to attention for sometime, after they do - account nuked.
      Hah, no - not God, just Noah. I'm not sure what to tell you. My ads did get turned down twice before it went through. The first time I think it was because I had an exit popup on my screen. The second time it got turned down, I just sent a message to them through the help section. I just clicked on the question mark on the little pop up box when my ad got turned down. Then, I found a contact form.

      I explained that I was trying to link to an affiliate program and I wasn't sure why my ad kept getting turned down. I got a response in like a day.

        You got very lucky. They probably thought you ARE direct advertiser. And just didn't looked at the ad, congrats

        If yes, what kind of offers do you suggest to go with?

    Peerfly allow, Google - no. Unless you are actual advertiser and your services/goods are compliant with them. They do allow directlinking if direct advertiser is absent or so, in that case they simply forgot about e-mail submit or so.

      What about if you put the offer in a Iframe? Technically it's not direct linking.. LOL.. Would they let that slide?

    Congrats on your success. It took me months to earn my first $100 with Peerfly although I was using free traffic.

    Were you promoting email/zips submits or were you promoting paid offers?

    It sounds like you were direct linking to the offer and not using a landing page. Is that correct? If you did it the right way, would it effect the conversion rate a lot as Google have a lot of rules about the amount of content needed on site, etc.. for AdWords.

      thanks for the vid Noah, great info. I just got accepted to peerfly today and your post has got me excited.

      I have a $100 adwords credit coming so I want to set something up see if I can test an offer.

      I still think I want to do PPC > landing page/opt in> follow up email >offer

      as I would like to build a targeted list if I can.

      I found a couple offers that may work on some of my higher traffic sites so i put up a couple banners and we will see what happens.!

        I know that a lot people use a method like this, but I am quite sure that your response rate will be lower than you might expect. When people click on an ad, they probably kind of do it on a whim, and they expect to see the ad right away - a landing page might turn them off.

        But, tons of people use PPC to build up a list and they're very successful at it, so I'm sure that it will work. However, I would personally suggest that you use a method like mine and just about double your money in a week or so, then start building a list. Just my two cents. Keep me posted on how it turns out.

          Ya Noah I think that may be the way to go then if I waste a little money losing people through the opt in process on my landing page I am losing reinvested earnings. NOT THAT I WANT TO LOSE ANY MONEY!

          I'm going to go with your method here starting tonight or tomorrow an see what happens. Already found some keywords for an offer on peerfly that fits your criteria pretty nicely.

          I'll let you know how it goes.

      You're welcome. Ya' know, a lot of people are saying that this should have been a WSO. But, to be honest, this is not a tried and true method that has consistently produced results for me, so I would not be comfortable charging people for it.

      There are WAAAY too many people that figure out some method that produces some quick results and they throw it up in a WSO - that's why most WSO's really suck. In fact, there are WSO's about which WSO's are the best. Yep, there are WSO's that help you wade through the piling crap of other WSO's.

      So, while I certainly appreciate the sentiment in everyone saying that this information is valuable enough to be sold, I assure that you all that I am not the type of person that's going to charge other people for information that I have only recently discovered and has worked *once* for me. I'll let other people put out their barely helpful WSO's to take advantage of WF members while I give away that kind of information for free.

      Sorry about that little rant, it's not geared towards anyone who has mentioned that this should have been sold as a WSO. I have just been frustrated recently at so many bad WSO offers. I think that WSO's should be higher quality than this information - most of them aren't. We're just gettin used to bad WSO's.

I could not get google to approve anything not even landing pages. So thanks for the inspiration. I believe people looking for someone to say click here here and here and you will make money is not fair. As internet marketers we all have research and trial and error that we go through to find "the one" that works for us. Thanks for sharing your experience with me and good luck in the future.

    2. You mentioned doing things the "right way." What does that mean? What was the wrong way? Beginners can learn from both methods.
    1. I personally spent nothing with this particular method. But, it cost a little less than $50 to earn that $113 - pretty good return if you ask me.

    2. Check out the video that I posted in the original post.

    Just want to get a better handle on the settings people are using to find such great niche keywords...
    The only thing that I did was used Google's keyword suggestions tool to find keywords that looked like they would be related to my offer. I wasn't concerned with any of the specific settings that you're asking about. I just found keywords that I thought would make people interested in my offer.

    I actually go through a little bit of my kw research process in the video update. Honestly, I'm not even sure what some of those acronyms are.

    I was using email/zip submit offers. Figured that would be the fastest money. I was redirecting straight to the offer page. I didn't use a landing page of my own. I don't think that AdWords has a specific amount of content that you need on a page that you link to. Tons of people have their ads link to squeeze pages that barely have any words on them at all.

    There are tons of ways to do thins without AdWords. People promote CPA offers with article marketing, good old SEO and a million other ways. Tons of information around the forum about this stuff.

    As for traffic, since I was just using AdWords, I'll measure in clicks. I got about 500 clicks to earn that much.

    This has been addressed several times in this thread. Therefore, I don't think that you know what you're talking about because Google quite obviously allows the promotion of CPA offers. Here is a page where they talk about AdWords for affiliates.

    What should I know as an affiliate advertiser? - AdWords Help

    I don't mean to go off on you, but there are too many people who act like they know what they're talking about when they quite obviously do not. I'm sure that you have not spoken with 98% of the people that have tried to use CPA in AdWords, and I know that your assertion that Google doesn't allow CPA offers is wrong! Everyone needs to stop saying that Google doesn't allow CPA in AdWords. I have communicated with Google about this and they do!

    Here's a copy of the message that I sent the AdWords team after my ad was disapproved for the second time...

    I'm actually having trouble with approval, but there were was no way to get to an e-mail form for that specific problem. I am having difficulty getting my ad approved to go to my link. It is a CPA offer that lands on a page with the URL '******.com' but I would like to use a tracking URL as the landing URL for the ad. I have read through the policies and as I understand, the display URL must show where the user will land after redirects. I'm confused why my ad has been disapproved several times. I would like to continue with AdWords, please help my with this issue. Thank you.
    See everyone? I told the Google AdWords team that I was promoting a CPA offer (I even highlighted that part of my message for everyone). The reply that they sent back said a few things about display URL vs destination URL but nothing about the fact that I was using a CPA offer!

    Big problem here on the WF is that people just spout out stuff that they have heard as if it were fact.

    So I am experimenting with your method Noah, and I have to say finding the keywords that you can get placement on for $.15 a click is tough. I think it is all about the offer of course.

    I am trying to stick to the peerfly offers that are above %13 CR or so, but they are all gift card type offers that are tough to find the low hanging fruit keywords for where a .15 bid with get you the impressions and clicks.

    I set up the campaign late last night so probably won't get any info until tomorrow. I am going to keep researching the offers as I think I jsut need to dig really deep to find the gem keywords to bid similar to what you found.

      Just try to find kw that are somehow related to your offer. An offer for a giftcard to a restaurant could be interesting to someone searching for anything related to food.

      As long as you set a low bid for the keywords, you will be able to decide if they work well without spending much money.

          I actually put this particular campaign on hold because I didn't have the money to continue until I cashed out my PeerFly account. I actually e-mailed my affiliate manager and explained this, asking if I could cash out via PayPal. I just got a reply saying that they started the cash out process.

          So, I will soon be dumping about $125 back into my AdWords account and I will update with my continued results.

        ok so found a good offer converting around 12% (should i be shooting for higher?) checked the keywords and BAM! There were a ton of high value keywords from $.17-$.42 all relating to the offer and the add. So i loaded them up wrote a compelling clickable add that included the keywords for relevancy and DOH! disapproved.

        So I think I am going to do 2 things:

        Make a content rich landing page linking out to the offer and a quick engaging youtube video with a very thorough keyword rich description.

        Not sure what you did to get your ads approved but I followed the guidelines and your video and nothing. This is not to say I am not doing something completely wrong here

    Yup just got the email, they did not like the landing page for the offer....which has nothing to do with the uRLs matching as I used the top level url from the offer page.

    Looks like you snuck by Noah or you are using an offer that has a much more engaging landing page. ie (actual text) not just a picture with and email submit.....maybe thats your secret lol!

    Nice job Noah and thanks for sharing all this for FREE and for the excellent video that explains the truth on directs to offers from ADWORDS!

    Its refreshing to listen to someone with the real FACTS and not hearsay on direct linking and the how to do it correctly. My campaigns are via a FB landing page AND email follow up with higher p/o offers but will give this direct stuff a whirl.

        I'm getting paid to build my list. :p The "Funded Proposal"...
        Then I make even more money on the backend.

        The paid ad is usually to a free "thing" (niche ebook) - to get it they have to like and/or connect. Hey if I am paying for that visitor they ain't picking up my free gift and leaving w/o me knowing at least who they are and get a like.

        They then get an opportunity to fill out a simple email/zip submit which gets more than my ad cost back.

        The ads get likes too which goes viral/social like the page. It snowballs.

        Sometimes the "free thing" (bait) can be a more complicated CPA offer (think "Free Trial") - higher cpa payout that does better on the back end, promoted via email autoresponder.

          Noah, congrats on the successes. But, I'm a bit confused and I'd appreciate it if you could clear something up for me. I followed your link to read Google's "What You Need to Know..." post (thanks) and the first line in the article states "We (Google) currently don't accept ads for data entry affiliate programs".

          Now, in the video you said you looked specifically for an offer that was an email or zip submit. Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but wouldn't that be considered a "data entry affiliate" program? Or perhaps I'm not understanding the vernacular.

          I appreciate any insight you can offer.

    "Display URL: Google will only show one ad per display URL for each search query. This means that if another affiliate ad for the same site outperforms you, that ad will show instead of yours. Learn more about our affiliate URL policy."

    I just grab this from your link. Im not exactly sure if I understand this correctly but maybe this has something to do with your success?

    If someone searches your keywords and your ad pops up. That either means your the only one with those keywords in that offer, or your paying more then the next person. They wont show the same URL? And your display ad show the final redirect. I might be completely off track here. lol i just started learning about this last week.

        just ok? are you kidding me that's excellent!. You just doubled your money! Where else are you going to get a 100% return on your $?

        Tweak and scale. MS adcenter is easier to work with than Google. I hate Google with their lame "Quality Score". Kills the concept if "flipping" b/c they expect your ad to perfectly correlate to the keywords.

        If that campaign keeps working then consider moving to PPV or CPM and watch the profits skyrocket.

      Stop it right away.

      Or you'll adwords account banned.

      If it gives you guidelines message, never submit that offer again.
      Try the next one.

      If an offer doesnt match their guidelines it doesnt matter what the destination url or the offer url is. It is against their policy and continuing to mess with it will raise suspicions.

    Edit - still got disapproved due to Landing page and site policy guidelines
    Display URL is the URL that is the final URL people land on. Destination URL is where you put the PeerFly code. Once your link is loaded, PeerFly URL fires and it redirects to the offer URL which is the URL/Domain that you entered in the Display URL field.

    Example:

    Your PeerFly code is www*peerfly*com/ offer
    You put that in the Destination URL
    When you load your PeerFly code it redirects to www*offer*com/whateveroffer

    You place www*offer*com in the Display URL

    Also, check the landing URL, the final URL, if it is www*offer*com/freecomputer/

    You need to enter the whole thing, not just the domain www*offer*com. Basically where ever the forward slash ends, you need to enter everything before that.

    Most of the email/zip submits are not welcomed by adwords. So they might work for a few days and will get capped. It's better to promote per SALE offers on adwords.

    Everyone seems to still be interested enough in this, so I've added an update to the original post.

    I know that someone people are talking about getting banned and having ad disapproved - but we still need to adhere to AdWords guidelines. There are a lot of CPA offers that just have crappy landing pages - don't use those!

    SonicSync, thank you for the display vs destination URL explanation. Also, keep in mind that if the offer tries to redirect people to a different page as they leave, Google might consider that final URL as the destination URL. So, it's better to stay away from offers that have that annoying little 'WAIT - Click 'Stay On This Page' and I have a special offer' type offers. They get disapproved fast.

    Hi!

    First of all congrats on your success with google adwords, I am checking this thread everyday for updates.

    I am at peerfly too , and checked basically nearly all of the zip/email submit offers, but I could not find a good one yet lol

    All offers are only one big image + a huge submit or click here button + an input field for the mail/zip.

    Probably I should have contacted my affiliate manager.

    So thank you for this awsome post with the tips!

      Totally get in touch with Luke at Peerfly if you have questions. Ya know, you might just want to try submitting an ad that's connected to an offer page that has no popups. That's one of the biggest guidleines that Google uses (from my experience). Text and such is good to have on a landing page, but 0 popups is even better.

    Hey I don't know if you got a chance to read my post or not but this method has been working for me somewhat so far. I just need to get past breaking even. Any Ideas?

    Also about how many keywords total are you using for your ads? I'm using around 1.5k -2k but I was told that may be to many. What do you think?

    Thanks, man. Lol, I just applied to Peerfly and got this message:

    Hey Noah,

    First of all thanks for the info you are sharing!

    I have a question regarding the kind of CPA offers you are promoting.

    Yesterday I tried to apply this method using Microsoft AdCenter and a typical CPA offer from Peerfly but was contacted by the support team linking to a site with the TOS which state:

    "Here are some things that will potentially get you on our radar of low-quality sites:

    - Sites with limited content whose main purpose is to show ads to visitors.
    - Sites that collect personally identifiable information (PII) for the purpose of selling or giving it away.
    - Sites that feature business models designed to take advantage of site visitors, such as get-rich-quick schemes, pyramid schemes, and miracle cures or products.
    - Affiliate marketing sites that do not identify themselves as affiliates of retailers by using distinct display URLs, or whose landing pages merely redirect to the retailers’ sites.
    - Sites with poor consumer interaction or whose visitors report consistently irrelevant or misleading ads.
    "

    I can't think of any CPA offer which does not violate one or more of these restrictions. I was wondering if you could share an example of an offer you would use or had used it the past. Just an example, not the ones you are using, so you can help me understand a little bit better the business model you are using and the offers that can be promoted.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hate to burst the bubble here, but direct linking to email submits from Adwords will get you banned. If you haven't been banned yet, don't worry, it's coming. It doesn't mean they hate affiliates, they just don't like affiliates that provide no extra value.



    You can direct link to SOME affiliate offers, but it's got to be something Google is ok with. Usually offers ON their own affiliate network tend to get approved for direct linking a lot more then any email submit ever would.

    If you don't believe me, go ahead and direct link to any email submit offer using adwords. Find out for yourself.

    Good going man good for you I'd scale that up like everyone else said.

    I absolutely plan on diving into PPC for CPA but right now it seems to complicated for the level I'm at. I have no idea how to even start with keyword research. For now I just wanna get a ton of youtube vids up and fliers then maybe if I get some capital I'll throw it into this idea (but only if I feel like I know what I'm doing I hate any form of gambling and this honestly sounds risky especially for newbs).

    Part of the reason that many of these "CPA" offers get rejected by Google is that they are CRAP. Too many email submits for a "free this or that"....but it ISN'T FREE....you have to complete 2 platinum offers and 3 gold ones....all that BS.

    LOOK at the ad you are promoting and pick a good one...something you REALLY would think is white hat. That is how to get approved at Google.

    I mean would YOU do one of those stupid ads and have to do all those offers to get it???? Bet that answer is NO. There are a number of TRUE freebie email submit ads out there...you just have to look for them. I know...I run a FREEBIE site with a bunch on there. Guess what....I can make the same $$$ with a good TRUE freebie as I could with that "Get a free sample of snuggle" BS ad with all the hoops.

    You have to stop and look at the ad you are wanting to promote. I like Peerfly, but they had the lowest number of true free ads out of the networks I have memberships with. Just sayin', in case they are listening.....GET MORE GOOD OFFERS AND SEPARATE all the BS ones into a different category.

    Hope you all do well with this method....remember, don't just run PPC on Google...Bing and all the others are out there too....and they are not the heavy handed BIG G.

    Good LUCK!

    lMy question here is the op said he got 100 dollars in 3 days, and yes the peerfly screens confirm that

    but I think this is very misleading
    apparently by the followup posts, he was doing campaign with Google adwords to generate the traffic

    how much did those clicks cost? coming from Google? They surely were not free were they? So why do you claim to be making 30 bucks per day, THATS GROSS REVENUE, NOT NET PROFIT.

    some threads like this amaze me

    What Noah did is surely something most thought would get your banned. Well, at least I did until I saw his results which is cool.

    I see a fair number of folks "replicating" his process. Just curious, anyone else making similar money from this method so far?

    For anyone who is interested I recently ran a try out campaign (my first using PPC / CPA) by having 7 search for the traffic and peerfly for the offer.

    I made a profit, a very small one, but a profit all the same. Not bad for a first try, just need to scale it now

    There is no way you can direct link on Adwords.

    Edit: I wonder how effective his method would be today, and I would love to see his current balance.

    Congrats Noah. I think Noah learned something even greater that his CPA efforts from posting this thread. As much as you try to help others, with all the best intentions most just want to whine and complain.

    Sounds like a bunch of losers around the poker table calling the winner a donkey. And when he tried to share with everyone what he did, you tell him it can't be done for one reason or another. Losers love to wallow in pity together.

    I'm kinda new myself. Just started focusing on Peerfly because that's where I'm making the most money right now. Plus they're great. On network I know where the affiliate managers are so active in affiliate marketing.

    Its really fast earnings from PeerFly, I Think your site has high traffic, If you have that, no problem for the earnings, Adsense is the King in Affiliate that gives more CPC than other competitors. PeerFly I never checked going to check soon. Thanks of the great Thread.
