CPA Marketing Through Article Writing & Submission
Posted 29th March 2009 at 05:27 PM by AliciaSpringer
I've been dabbling with CPA marketing for awhile now with decent success. My main promotion method for CPA has been through article marketing. From the tests that I've done you can indeed make money through article marketing and linking to CPA offers. In the resource box of my articles I've mainly linked to my own domain, that is masked to a CPA offer. So far, the results have been good. My next task is to continue to "duplicate" the initial success of one niche and move into other niches.
What I do is I log into my CPA account, for example my NeverBlue account, and go through the offers available and based on the offers I'll write articles based on the "niche" and in the resource box I simply highlight an offer that is relevant to the topic. The link is actually to a domain that I own, just "masked" (once allowed by the network) to the CPA offer.
My goal is to have at least 10 different offers being promoted through article marketing. Each offer within it's own "niche", and have at least 100 articles that will be promoting each offer.
I'll update with my progress. Right now my first niche is "Payday Loans". You can see my Ezine Articles account at the link below.

thanks for the great info! How do you "mask" your domain with your cpa offer?Posted 29th March 2009 at 09:49 PM by sting45
- Usually what I do is if I know in advance I'm going to mask a domain name, I use Godaddy since there "masking" and "forwarding" feature is free. I register the domain name through Godaddy, then I use their URL forwarding option, and select the "Masking" option. I input the actual CPA offer URL as the masked link. Whenever anyone then visits my domain name, they automatically see my CPA offer, but masked through Godaddy's 'URL Forwarding" feature.Posted 30th March 2009 at 08:53 AM by AliciaSpringer
- Hi Alicia
Thanks for the article it was great. Is there a good way to promote the article on the article sites so as to get a better number of views for that article. I have been looking everywhere for some info on this. If you have any ideas that would be greatPosted 30th March 2009 at 11:45 PM by Giannii01 - One of the ways you can go about getting more views is to do keyword research. If your CPA offer is about a "weight loss" product, then you would research all the possible keywords for "weight loss". By default I usually skip the ones that are going to be too difficult to rank for. From researching this keyword using the Free Word Tracker Tool, you'll get a lot of results. What you are looking for is a long tail keyword that has the possibility of being ranked well. You write an article based on this long tail keyword, submit it to EzineArticles.com.
For example, sticking with the weight loss niche, let's say you chose this keyword "best proven weight loss pills". When you write your article, you would ensure that the keyword is in your title, along with being in the body of the article. Do not repeat it too often (no more than three times) as it may get rejected due to "Excessive Keywords". Ensure the article is written in a natural, and helpful tone as well, and that your resource box has a good call to action that will get the user to click and view your offer.
Repeat this process for every article you write.
1) Select Your CPA Offer.
2) Find a long tail keyword based on the niche of the offer.
3) Write an insightful article based on the keyword.
4) Submit the article to EzineArticles.com
Rinse and repeat. Not all of your articles will rank well, but some of them will, and your views will be decent. Being a top author within a category can help with your views as well, so continue to submit high quality content to rise in the rankings.Posted 31st March 2009 at 10:17 AM by AliciaSpringer -
Great info Alicia. I have been doing the same thing lately. It is so very important to do keyword reseach so you don't waste your time and effort writing articles that get buried by the competition. It's the little things many times that make all the difference.Posted 10th April 2009 at 08:52 AM by Cashman - Thanks Cashman! Keyword research is definitely critical to your success.Posted 11th April 2009 at 09:50 PM by AliciaSpringer

Hi Alicia,
What on earth is "a long tail keyword"? How do you determine "a long tail keyword" for the niche chosen? You can tell I'm very new the Internet Marketing terminology and would appreciate the help.Posted 17th April 2009 at 07:15 AM by annabanks - Hi Anna,
Sorry for taking so long to get back to you. A long tail keyword is just a longer version of a major keyword. For example, let's say you have the keyword "web hosting", a long tail keyword would be a longer version of that keyword such as "business web hosting comparison". It has the "web hosting" keyword within it, but with more words included.
It's when you are extremely specific with what you are searching for, and usually it's at least 3 words. People have been using long tail keywords when optimizing their websites, as the traffic is targeted, and it's usually easier to rank for long tail keywords. The traffic will be less, but if you rank for a lot of them, then the combined traffic can be beneficial.Posted 22nd April 2009 at 07:19 PM by AliciaSpringer -
