Hello Warriors!

I am trying to learn a bit more about PPC, and thought that the TruthAboutAbs product would be a good case study:

5 Tips to Lose Stomach Fat, Get Flat Six Pack Abs, Ab Workouts, Abdominal Exercises

According to ClickBank this thing is the hottest item out (nearly 550 Gravity!).

According to the Affiliates page there are people making $10,000-$20,000 a day on PPC for this product. Per day!

Wow.

He also states that there are a lot of keywords that convert well that can be had for 0.02-0.09 cents per click.

So, I spent a few hours really digging into Adwords and the Keyword tool and I couldn't find anything that wasn't super competitive and priced at at least $1 per click with any volume.

So what I want to know is, how do these wonder affiliates make this sort of cash with PPC when the click cost is so high?

There is no way (to my mind) they can be pushing that level of traffic to the page without really highly saturated keywords (otherwise there would not be the volume).

What's the deal here?

    I was surprised those ads were running, so I went and had a look under the G for that term / ads and what a crock of crap those ads / sites are running those paid ads . still some mess to clean up by the looks of it.

    Sometimes products with a high gravity may not exactly mean a very profitable product for affiliates to promote... From experiences, I rather promote a product with a mid-range gravity level (somewhere from between 20 - 60) compared to products with a super high gravity level.

    The reason is that, for products with such a high gravity level, chances are the competition level is far too saturated for affiliate marketers (especially newbies) to be able to make any money in it - Some of these marketers may be offering something special (such as offering unique bonuses) as an incentive to people who are buying from their affiliate link.

    I have much better experience in promoting products that have a mid-range gravity... The competition is much lower, and hence it is easier to be ranked high in the search engines (with both paid traffic (where I don't need to pay a high CPC to be ranked well) and organic traffic (where I create sites and optimize them to rank well in the search engines for the various keyphrases related to the product - As the competition is low, it is hence much easier to get ranked in the 1st page of the search engines easier) and also I can get quite a lot of sales for those products...

    Just my 2-cents opinion here... Hope this helps...


    Cheers

    I am guessing that he is talking about Google content network for clicks at those prices.

    I'm only guessing but, perhaps, what you're looking for is some serious lateral thinking that can find a very cheap keyword that, with which an article can be started that can lead to TruthAboutAbs.

    For example, what about "lower back pain?" Yes, another keyword phrase that's probably got some good competition but then you get a whole new set of lateral search results from the keyword tool for that seed, and some of those can be used.

    How about people searching for orthotics...?

    People searching for orthotics might have already been sold on the idea that their back pain is due to improper footfall, so they go searching around for orthotics whereby your article tells them "that X amount of people searching for orthotics to help reduce lower back pain actually find more relief from Y simple exercises that strengthen their abs. And, combining both methods can have an even greater result.

    If you're absolutely determined to find orthotics, at least bookmark the following link for further inquiry (your truth about abs aff link) and a good bet your adsense will be picking up orthotics ads, so, that's not scientific but it certainly is reasonable to look into thinking WIDE and leading people back around to an ab product that they never even knew they needed.

    Best wishes, hope it helps!

    I think people are exaggerating when they say 10,000-20,000 per day.

    I think for the most part people are bring people in from non-conventional sites like spammy sites and porn sites where the cost per click are pennies. Even with a very small conversion rate you will end up with a decent ROI.

    Something you need to think about is that Click Bank has the worst tracking (or they are shaving like crazy) and it is way too easy to get your affiliate link and have someone replace it with their own. Another thing to be aware of is that it is to easy to get a refund with Click Bank. I could buy from your affiliate link and get a refund 5 min later. I would be looking at a cpa or other type of product from a more reliable network.

    Actually - They are making an absolute killing with the offer. Especially since all the CPA continuity diet offers died out, a lot of major media buyers picked up the offer. Even CPA networks are copying the format of the offer themselves.
