Looks like mostly garcinia camboga trials

you must be working with the wrong networks. There are plenty out there in dozens of different niches that offer big payouts. This guy must have some really targeted traffic.

About 50% of my traffic is from organic SEO (mostly Google). The other 50% is from PPC and PPV traffic networks. I obviously blocked out the specific offers I am running, but the offers I run mostly are health/weight loss, skincare, credit scoring and some e-commerce CPS/trial offers.

I don't bother promoting email submit offers because most of them are pure trash. I believe in promoting what I consider "realistic" offers. I personally don't feel it's ethical for advertisers to provide a landing that misleads people into submitting their email because they're convinced they might get a free iphone, giftcard etc. And not to mention the high lead shaving rate by the advertisers.

One of the approaches I've taken is using niche blogs. I write articles and provide valuable content related to a specific niche product. Such as reviews, faqs, and other information that I feel consumers would be looking for before purchasing a product. Then I have my affiliate link as my call to action.

And with some offers, I capture the prospects email address before redirecting them to an actual offer. That way I can follow-up with them in the event they didn't buy on the spot. Capturing email and building a list is very essential in some cases. Especially when dealing with certain traffic sources and keywords that are expensive.

But overall I aim for high quality traffic that's as targeted as possible. And ass most already know, it takes consistent testing of traffic sources, keywords, landing pages (content), and even actual offers.

I try to put myself in the consumer's shoes. Who's my perfect prospect for this offer? What info might they be looking for prior to buying? And when I get them to my landing page, I try to lead with value instead of heavily trying to convince them to buy. Providing as much realistic information as possible and exactly what the consumer should expect before sending them to the actual offer.

Lets underline those words!

I didn't optimize, scale, diversify, and manage my risk factors

Its to do with all marketing not just CPA!

And I am NOT making fun at you! I too did not manage risks and test all the time, when i started marketing and paid for it.

We do about $1k a day with this stuff, and yes its hard work, but you gotta test your nuts off, to get where you want to go.

We have 3 secrets to testing, but it boils down to sitting bum and seat and testing.

Think of it like this the MORE TIME you invest to TESTING, the less time it takes to find the winners, and once you find a winnign campaign not only is this scalable for more profits. But you can take your ideas, and angles over to other niches, and it may work JUST as GOOD, or EVEN BETTER!

Well done, heres cheers to more profits to come your way.

Thanks @ all.

Yes I do in some cases in my PPV campaigns. But when it comes to PPC, I prefer to target long-tailed keywords. This is for both SEO and less competition purposes. They may get less traffic per keyword, but once you have found enough you can get the same quantity and quality of traffic for a fraction of the cost, rather than trying bid on the more broad, short-tail keywords.

The articles for the most part are normal blog post type articles with banners and text links either within the article itself, and or on the sidebar. There's this cool free Wordpress plugin called "Display Widgets" that lets you display a specific banner on a specific page or blog post on the sidebar and footer.

This really comes in handy. Because some people are A.D.D and are ready to buy or see the offer right away, never caring to read the information. So one of the key things for me is putting several call to actions through-out the page. I do one towards the beginning (for the ADD people), and one towards the middle and end. Along with any banners that I may display or rotate on the sidebar/footer areas.

I also use internal redirect links. There's a free Wordpress plugin called "Redirection" that allows you to create custom internal links to redirect to your third party tracking link or affiliate link. This is essential for SEO purposes when Google/Bing crawls your pages, so it doesn't look like you got a ton of outgoing links on every page. So although I may have 4 or 5 total call to action links (including banners) that links directly to my tracking/affiliate link, it appears I am linking internally to other pages on my site.

This works for now at least, and I still get good SEO rankings. But please don't be surprised if Google change things once again and begin to penalize us for it.

And there's a few specific offers that I have my own secondary landing page behind my call to action that's more of a sales page to elaborate more about the actual offer before sending them. There's a few nice squeeze and sales page plugins out there that let's you turn any page of your site into a "one page" sales letter.

Specifically for MaxBounty to get these results I calculated about $263 USD in paid traffic. But ironically those 2 offers towards the end of my screen shot (33 and 20 clicks) cost me the most money and not one conversion lol.

Thanks for the feedback, I think I am going to create a sample campaign and list all the variables that I could test. Obviously the list could be very long but will focus on the main aspects of the advert.
