Sort of a desperate measure for desperate times. Feedback please?

I don't have a website that I can use with peerfly yet.
But does it work if I just get my affiliate code from them and post it in someone else's site?
I personally know some site owners that they say they're willing to allow me post an ad or two for free since they don't have plans with their sites yet anyway and we're friends.
Also there are some sellers on fiverr with high traffic sites.
So I was thinking, if I can earn at least $5 for a day with 7search on one of those sites, they it's okay since it only costs $5 to post my banner ad on their high traffic site for 2 weeks.
I know, it's still better to have my own site by my sites are not getting enough traffic yet so I thought about this method.
I'm really desperate that's why.
Thoughts please?

    Yes it's OK to just use the affiliate link without having a website as long as the offer in question allows that type of traffic as listed in the marketing restrictions in the offer details.

    The problem with those high traffic sites which Fiverr sellers sell space for is that often they are crammed with lots of other ads so the CTR to your ad is likely to be poor. I noticed this a couple of years ago when buying such a gig.

    Thank you so much cooler1.
    Hmm... So it is possible to just get an affiliate link and buy a space ad in another site to post it.
    I'm gonna take advantage of the free offer from those site owners that I know.
    Then I'm going to see and experiment if I can get a lot of conversions for $5 adspace gigs on fiverr.
    Uhmm... Besidies 7 search, can you guys recommend me other companies that can allow me to get an affiliate code from them easily with or without a website please?

      If you want to just direct link to offers on Peerfly, go with PPC. You won't be able to progress very far though without having Tracking202/Prosper202 or some tracking code set up. Adwords works great (Most expensive), Bing (Medium Cost), 7Search (Low cost), these all work, I convert with all three. You pay for the volume though, for example, in any given niche Adwords will deliver say 500 conversions, Bing would only be able to do say 300 conversions, 7Search would deliver like 50 conversions.... just so you get an idea.

      Also, forget Fiverr traffic. I know for a fact it is junk. I have mentored many people who would not listen to me and buy fiver traffic, EVER SINGLE TIME, it was either bots, chinese, RON Cpv, or legit but done in a way it would never be effective for anything, ie crammed a whole page of ads etc... sure, it sounds great, and I am a big believer in being able to convert cheap traffic, but it is junk and waste of your time. If it was that great, it wouldn't be $5 bucks.

    I went on a fiverr kick for a while. worst mistake i have ever made.

    Of all the gigs I bought, ONE gig was useful to me and legit, and that guy shut down and said he wouldn't do it for 5 bucks anymore lol

    My best advice to you is to avoid fiverr at all costs. ESPECIALLY for traffic/SEO of any type.

    If I was in your shoes I would do two things: First check out luke peer flys page PeerFly Affiliate Manager - and then I would sign up for Chad Howarths newsletter on CPA - they both talk about peerfly and 7search amongst other things. I have followed Chad's newsletter and actually got a profitable 7search campaign running.

    7search lets you direct link to peerfly, maxbounty etc. - so you dont' need a lander to get started - but you WILL want a lander eventually.

    My advice is to checkout the 7search top 500 here: and match your offer to the traffic from 7search - you can make money there but it takes patience. It can take some creativity as well - search for anomalous here on the warrior forum, he knows what's he's talking about.

    Good Luck!

    If you know blogs that get good traffic and can persuade the owners to put up an for you on their website it is a good form of banner advertising. Work out a split commission between you and the blog owners and go right ahead.
