So after reading the forum for a few days I decided to take a new approach to CPA, I move away from my normal incentive technique which was earning me $1-$2 a day.

I follwed the tips and found a nice keyword with 2000 competing sities, 5000 monthly searches (localy) and found a nice 4 feild matching surey, So I bought the "keyword".com domain and set up a small landing page, with a bit of free promotion on forums, facebook and shopping websities. I made $11.27 that day.

Stats: 154 Clicks, 49 leads, EPC $0.07 and conversion ratio of 31%.

I should mention I chose a survey with a $0.23 payout, but it matched all other criteria so I thought it would be good for experimenting.

I know its not much but to someone who was scratching $1 a day its a improvment.

Now I want to know how to maintain this sort of traffic or increase it, the problem I am finiding is that on the shopping sities (which account for 70% of traffic) once my offer ages over a few hours it moves down the rankings, and traffic drops.

The problem I have with google is that I rank very well for "keywordkeyword"
but not well at all for
"keyword keyword"
which I dont quite understand, should I of got a domain with a hypen?

Any advice will be appreciated

    Write articles and put your keyword in the anchor text atleast twice in your article. And blast those articles to as many article directories as you can. So you can boost those backlinks. Also, social bookmarking! Try viral marketing, (twitter). Create a twitter account and goto buzzom(dot)com free online service that helps you build your twitter account.

      Hi Amir,
      Yes, since you went through all the trouble of making your website I would most definately link to a simular offer. Now as far as getting your website on the first page you need to get quality backlinks using your keywords in the anchor text.......this is where your keyword is clickable.

      Ways to get backlinks to your website:

      Write articles and submit them to article directories
      Put your keyword in the title and sprinkle your keyword throughout your article.
      In the resource box write a good call to action and hyperlink your keyword

      Forums:
      Join forums that have to do with your niche. Make some good quality posts and for your signiture you can make a good call to action and hyperlink your keyword.

      Blogs:
      Find blogs that have to do with your niche and make good quality comments on the blogs. In the website field or even the name field........hyperlink your keyword

      I know it was mentioned above but social bookmark your website and all of your articles.

      Hope this helps a little.

    (23 yesterday)

    Im going to build a few backlinks for the site but I am concentrating on bigger projects, I plan to try and repeat what i did with monsoon for a survey paying $1.10 instead of $0.20, and the PPC is the same as monsoon, which is what I used towards the end of the campign.

      Interesting, I have a completely different take on your landing page.

      I like the look, but any landing page where I need to move my mouse around to determine where to click is not ideal. I'd be just as likely to close the page, rather than looking for the place to click.

      Your links appear to just be headings to my eyes, until I mouse over them and see the cursor change.

      You might want to test with a little stronger call to action.

      "Click Here To Win _____". Even test with an arrow pointing to the offer.

      But then again, I'm not an expert on CPA, so I could be all wrong.

      You've already received a lot of good advice on building traffic, and if you execute them, you'll do great.

      Congratulations on taking ACTION! Great Job!
