SEO and CPA - I didn't believe until I did it!

Before, I believed CPA was only for people who have money to use in PPC advertising. Honestly, I was jealous to people who makes money because they know how to do this and do that because they have resources for advertising. When I got a referral who was earning $200/day in just one campaign, I was really wondering how he did it. There was no way to contact him of course so I studied hard. I knew he was using PPC.

That was the biggest challenge in my part. I brought him to this CPA program through my referral link and I said to my self I will not allow him to make money more than what I am making. In short, I had to work hard to surpass his earnings.....

I studied hard and focused on keyword research and got a very competitive keyword with 22,000 exact matches on google keyword tool. I got the .net domain. I created a blog, started posting with one campaign per post and around 200-word related articles per day. I did my best in SEO for 2 months and finally gave the site more than 7K of backlinks after 3 months. The site started earning $20, $40, $60 and upto $100 per day in the span of 4 months.

This beginning of the year brought me a personal breakthrough when my site placed on US Google 3rd and 5th on CA Google (I don't know why it is on 3rd page on Google UK). Though the traffic is not too high at around 600 organic per day, since December 28th (I believe this was the time my site appeared on google's 1st page), it is giving me a minimum of $230/day with a very high conversion rate due to targeted traffic from search engines.

I beat my referral without spending a dime on PPC. My investment - hard work, correct planning, and perseverance.

Now I am working on my second and third sites respectively following the same pattern on another niches.. Hope I can copy the same exact thing I did.....

To other warriors who are not making money yet, don't give-up.. work hard and ask questions here if you have any...... good luck to everyone of us...

Updated June 15, 2012
Due to some serious financial trouble last year, I had to sell the site and it it now owned by other people. But that does not mean I gave up. I created another last May 2011 and the result is still the same. Both sites are earning steady income with solid traffic from search engines. A very low maintenance websites. I only post 1 to 2 article per site per week and build a maximum of 5 links per site per week as well.....

    Congratulation man!

    Hard word and persistence really pays off.

    As you said CPA marketing with SEO really works.

    So, go on repeat the process to many niches as possible.

    I also want to tell you that some of the SEO tasks like link building are time consuming and tedious , so I recommend that you outsource some parts of your tasks so as to build as many sites as possible .

    I also wish you success for your second SEO site.

      Yes Mike. I have plans for outsourcing in the very near future but right now, I love what I am doing so I will do it myself as long as I can. It really feels good when you accomplished something... thanks

      Well, everything about electronics. Laptops, iPhones, iPads, Xbox, playsyation, nintendo, camera, etc... All CPA networks have these offers in email and zip submit....

      What kind of offer did you promoted (I guess trial)?

      And how many pages/article your site have?

      Thanks.
      Its a wordpress blog that uses a 1-column theme (to avoid distractions), and I think I have around 45 posts so far and still counting.. Just simple articles about the products being promoted (features, versions, etc)... I am using wordpress instead of just plain landing pages because of tags. Tags brings a lot of traffic through search engine.

        When you use tags, do the keywords you enter for the tags have to be in your sites content also?

            Adie, you really should start list building, your income with EXPLODE. But, your current method is also pretty sweet! Very simple.

            Just give the people what they want, keep building good content, and built quality links. It's really that easy, folks.

                I agree, but It's still not my desire to build any lists. You know, even if the plan is good but if your heart is not into it, it will only be wasted, so I prefer not to... thanks anyway... I appreciate the suggestion...

        SEO ranking changes from time to time but if you maintain your site well, it should not have a big slide....

      LOL, I feel sorry for you man for I experienced the same thing before.. Just do the backlinking thing slowly....do not rush. SEO is a long term thing so no need to rush.. try again.

    Good stuff!

    One thing I want to mention about SEO is that to not put the cart in front of the horse ... meaning dont optimize for a keyword and invest MONTHS unless you know that keyword converts. That way, PPC makes a quick and easy test phase more efficient.

    Always test the keyword first before doing SEO. Its only logical!

    Any questions just let me know

      somehow I dont agree with this

      reason: it sound logical, but, if we look at it this way: if a certain keywords exist in a search engine, it means that there are certain people looking for that piece of information. and if we give them what they want, we can gain something back

      so how to know which keyword convert? Well, that is not easy to determine that fact. The easier way is that just choosing a keyword that has volume and continue to do SEO on it. The OP did that and he success. Keyword research is definitely important, but it's pretty pointless to try to know if that certain keyword convert or not, since, generally, most keywords will convert the same way if we put enough amount of work in it

        I actually don't see a point in testing a keyword with more than 10K exact monthly search on it, and yes, you are right.

        In my experiences a lot of the keyword research is already done if you know where and how to look. Just piggyback off marketers that are targeting a key term that you know converts. Why do the testing when others can do it for you. Look at ppc ads that are running for long periods of time.

      I have a lot of activities in article directories but I think majority of these backlinks cam,e from blogs who syndicated my content. You know when you put an article on articlesbase and someone copy it through autoblog, you are getting backlinks....the second one is forum signature,, I have a lot of signatures in different forums.

        Excellent work Adie, as Kenster stated it's all about the power of numbers, imagine having 10 other seo sites all producing a similar income, your income would shoot through the roof.
        Start thinking about outsourcing now that you have the first site down to speed up creation and seo of new websites.

    SEO is a tough game, I don't want to ignore that fact, but the rewards can be great. Think about it...you are getting 600 uniques per day, imagine if your site was getting 5,000 uniques or you have a network of sites that together add up to 5,000 uniques. Numbers can get pretty big.

      For example, my blog is all about gift cards. We all know this is a hot CPA niche and of course there are dozens of types of gift cards. I will post about Vicoria's Secret for instance and right below my post title, I will put a very large banner of victoria secret gift card, then under it I have a supporting 200-words keyword-optimized article.

      I am using this free wp theme:
      Theme Preview ( a bonus information to all of you)

      You know what happens when there is no other thing to see than your banner. People will definitely click the ad

      I just put n article or 2 a day.. not a very hard work. Can write short article in 10 to 20 minutes.

        If the offer permits a text link you can also double up and do a banner and a traditional call to action. Sometimes banners even if just an implied call to action don't convert well compared to a traditional explicit call to action

        I just put n article or 2 a day.. not a very hard work. Can write short article in 10 to 20 minutes.
        I would like to remind you that Google doesn't like websites promoting CPA offers. I had this kind of website before, 2 websites and only last about several months before Google slap it and now it's sitting no where.

          YES if you have nothing but CPA banner. NO if you have CPA banners and related articles.

            Actually each offer has its own unique content, it's a sales pitch not an article in general, wordings to sell the offer, expressing about the benefits, the background, etc. Still got whacked by Google, it's just a matter of time I guess.

          Adie - Did you write one blog and watched it grow to where you wanted it to be before you started your next blog or did you create several blogs at once and launched them all at the same time? You also mentioned writing 2-3 articles per week for the blog but you also wrote articles for different article sites to create backlinks. Seems like you did a lot of writing, if you include forums and blog postings. How much time do you usually spend doing this? Thanks in advance.

              You sold a site which was making $6900/month for only $3800? That doesn't add up. How much was the site making when you sold it?

                Although this question is old I think I still have to answer. yes, that was an insane decision but with my urgent financial condition that time, I had too (my daughter was hospitalized and I didin;t wanted to borrow from someone with interest). But don't worry, I created 2 more sites that are actually making each the same mount for more than a year now. I know I can repeat the success so I had to let it go.
                Thank you for everyone who are following this thread.

                It's been a long time and things have changed dramatically since I created this thread but the result is still success.... To share the complete details of what exactly happened on this thread, I think I have to compile everything and share it in another forum folder...

    how did you research that or those keywords?

      thanks for clearing that up Adie


      I will let kenster explain the call to action as I respect his explinations and work, but I will say this I would leave your banners at the top coz you know they convert and put the call to action at the bottom for those that miss the banner will most likley read through the while short article to be met by a call to action as the end. Talk about double whammy im sure your conversions will increase with this.

    Awesome Adie! I was like you in that I had more time then money to outsource so I started the best I could promoting my own site (I sell real physical products) It took me 4 months just to make one sale from organic (I dabbled in PPC but it wasn't getting me RIO) so I kept pumping in links. Now
    a year later, I consistantely make $100-150 a day on free traffic (but I have hard costs in the product). I vowed 2011 I would quadruple last year!!

      LOL, I am already doing this but didn't know that it is called "call of action". Yes, I put banner on top then put "click here" below.

      Sorry, my post above was not completed due to connection problem. The first thing I do is to check what offers have high conversion inside my CPA network account. Pick a group of products (gift cards, wight loss, free electronics, etc)...then do a keyword research. Example is "gift cards". I select this group of products because there are so many types of gift cards so I can post unlimited number of articles on my blog. For example, today I post about walmart, tomorrow I post overstock, the next day I post victoria secret, avon, Tjmaxx, so on and so forth. See, they are all offering gift cards so the related keywords are not hard to research. I just use google wonder well to wrap up everything. It means that in one blog, I am promoting lots of interconnected products. I post is equivalent to one landing page. That's how things are working with me.....

          A zip submit means that a person only has to enter their zip code to complete the offer and for you to get paid by the CPA network.

          An email submit means that a person only has to enter their email address to complete the offer and for you to get paid by the CPA network.

          I hope that helps

        Great post, here are a few tips that helped me.

        The key to SEO is to build links to your site, this can include articles, social post, and backlinks from directories that specialize on the niche market your optimizing for, and of course keywords, also longtail keywords can also payoff.

      Bigger part of 7K backlinks came from wordpress themes and blogs...

      Here a short detail.

      I post 2 to 3 articles per week in articlesbase, goarticles, and articledashboard. People are syndicating my articles through autoblogs and when my original articles republished in their autoblogs (with my links inside the articles), I am getting considerable amount of backlinks.

      Another thing is wordpress theme. I picked around 20 free wp themes, edited some part of it and offer it to my main blog available to download. The title of my blog post "Free WP themes for adsense". I edited the themes, created demos with some good adsense placements so the user will just change the images with his adsense codes. I put my link in footer of all 20 themes. When someone uses the theme, I got backlink . But of course I leave the original link of the original coder. I just added mine.....

      The 7K backlinks from yahoo site explorer actually is not accurate... I have more than 100K backlinks coming from different blogs.

Traffic is there and all targeted. I started 2 months ago now making around 1k month. Once again congrats bro..keep up the good work..
      Well, whatever you do as long as you are making money in legit way worth everything. As a saying goes "don't force your self to beat your weaknesses. Instead, do better on your strengths". Do your best on things that works with you.

          You can earn a ot in PPC than in ebay unless your website has truly targeted thousands of traffic. Ebay commission is behind CPA.

    Wow Adie this is very inspirational. So do you have different pages for each product you promote or is it the same page for every post? And do all of those backlinks point to your homepage or do they point to different pages on your blog?

      1 page 1 product and 1 post

      There are backlinks to homepage and there are also for internal pages. I write articles promoting each post whenever I have time so backlinks to internal pages are also increasing.

        Thanks for this clarification. Also what are your guidelines for picking keywords to target? Do you have any cutoff number like how much competition is too much? For example if I made a gift card blog, how much competition should I be looking for before I attempt to rank for the keyword? And what would I write about in my posts? Would I talk about free giftcards or would I talk about giftcards in general?

        Btw I just saw the links in your sig. Is the laptopforfree.net the technology website you are talking about in this thread?

          Gift card is a very rich niche and one that has the toughest competitions out there. I only use google keyword tool to identify the keywords I am targeting. I don't have any guidelines or limit (this thing I need to improve in my system). In posting in my blog, once I got my main keyword in that particular post, I then search that keyword in google and open the wonder wheel. I then pick those related keywords in wonder wheel and use as tags in my post.

          Laptopforfree is just one of few websites that I am running and as you can see, it is ranked in google very high too with its main keyword "free laptop". I am revealing something here for my competitiors but I am not worried. Whether I reveal it or not, if my competitor is smart he can still find ways to beat my website on Google.

          I don't use any special tool or any paid software.

    Great, mate, congratulations on your success!

    I also made some good money with SEO before going to CPA/PPC, so I know that it does work. I've never made $250 out of only 600 visitors with free traffic, but if you can do it, then just try to hit the 2,5K visits a day and you will be doing great! (You already are, but 4 figures a day is even better :p)

        That's a very good offer but I'm really sorry, I am extremely busy with my own websites and campaigns. There some good guys that could help you in promotion at warrior classifieds and marketplace folders.

    Don't listen to this bs story. Here is a direct quote from OP on flippa.com. I can't past links so I had to edit the URL..

    Last 6 months earnings can be found here:

    hxxp://radenpayas(DOT)com/images/

    Clearly shows $500ish a month, a far cry from his $200+ a day statements.

    Why do people post fake success like this?

    And why are you ranting? Did I say it is the website I sold at Flippa? I didn't say anything about the domain of the website I am talking about here. I have 5 websites about laptops, ipads, iphones, macbooks - all ranking very high on Google. I have lots of websites earning from $10 to hundreds per day. And besides, I am not making any BS here.... and most of all, I am not selling anything... If you are not making money with what you are doing, with attitude like that, you won't make money at all... It's not fake and the buyer is happy... you have no right to say like that. If you don't believe no one is forcing you.

    I studied hard and focused on keyword research and got a very competitive keyword with 22,000 exact matches on google keyword tool. I got the .net domain. I created a blog, started posting with one campaign per post and around 200-word related articles per day. I did my best in SEO for 2 months and finally gave the site more than 7K of backlinks after 3 months. The site started earning $20, $40, $60 and upto $100 per day in the span of 4 months.
    Google keyword tool shows 22,000 exact for the keyword free laptops. As you have stated, that site is laptopforfree.net. This is the site that was sold on flippa for $3500..

    So unless you have another .net that ranks for a keyword with 22,000 and has 7k backlinks, my opinion stands.

    Also, I noticed you removed your earnings screenshots

      I did not say that laptopforfree.net is the one that is sold in flippa. The buyer requested to remove those images and screenshots to protect his ranking and peerfly account.

    Oh, you don't have to say it's the one you sold on flippa.. it is. It perfectly matches your description of your site you posted about in your OP.

    Clearly the site you started your OP about makes $500 a month max, $350 on average. This doesn't take much effort to find out using google.

    I spent about 5min google researching your laptopforfree.net site, and it 100% matches the site you described in your OP..

    Sounds fishy to me.

    You may have other sites, and I hope you do. But your OP was about a .net site that went from making you $0 to $200+ a day.. from a single site. Why spread false info to people on forums? Are you trying to hype yourself to sell WSO?

      Oh, you spent 5 min thinking on how to ruin this thread and demotivate other warriors who are reading the original post.

      Send request to admin to ban me or make a written agreement and I will sign... that I will not make any WSO related to this thread within 5 years. I hate commitments and customer service so why I would create a WSO? And besides, this is a very simple strategy that don't need any special information other than perseverance and hard work - now WSO worthy.

      Laptopforfree is just one of the websites I am running and yes, it's another evidence that I can bring websites on top of google with such high competition. But again, that is not the website I sold in flippa. I have 4 more laptop-related websites and they are even competing each other. Why I should reveal my domain? I have no intention and WSO is not my passion... make a written agreement and I will sign...if that's what can make you happy.

      Bookmark this thread if you want.

      Yes, I am the one who sold laptopforfree but that is not the same website I am talking about here. You keep on talking about the OP there at Flippa, yes that's me (check my history there if you want).

      I always tell people, figure out shortcuts AFTER you bum your way to success. Everybody I know who is successful worked in the trendches, building campaigns manually and figuring everythign out from bottom up. As you get better, then look for great software and other shortcuts to expedite certain processes.

      Too many newbies look for shortcuts before they even know the system they are trying to shortcut and this just leads to wasteful spending and inaction.

      Like you said, its about busting your butt!

    Hey Adie,

    I'm about to begin a website promoting some trial offers but I'm just wondering how did u get your website so high in google with such a competitive niche? Your laptopforfree.net is ranking 5th for the broad keyword of "free laptop" which has 123,000,000 results without quotes! That's seriously amazing. I would think it would take a ton of work to get it up that high. I'm thinking of ranking for a keyword that has 500,000 competing pages and people are telling me that it will be really hard to rank for it. DO u think I should go ahead any try? I have a couple of softwares like Senuke and Scrapebox but I'm still deciding if I should take the plunge. Your help is always appreciated.

      Wow, senuke and scrapebox are tools I am dreaming of. Although I can afford to buy these software today, I don't know why I still didn't... Anyway, lapopforfree.net was an experimental blog and its actually not the same site I am talking about here but I do the same SEO process - in all of my sites. (I just sold laptopforfree anyway)...

      I don't know how it happened but I just build links like crazy without looking at the ranking for a month or two. I do not use any software except for roboform that helped me in filling forms. I think the only expenses I paid is the 30 PR2 blog backlinks I ordered through microworkers.com for $16 but it did not make such difference that much......

      Even myself was wondering how I beat those tons of competitors in a free way.. There's no shortcut really - just tons of hardwork...

        Wow this is really inspiring me to take the plunge and get a website and jump into a semi-competitive niche! Thanks Adie! I'll try and rank for one of those free product offers and then maybe rank for some trial offers as well and see how that goes. How long did it take you and what theme are you using on your website?

    reading your story inpired me to work more harder with seo cuz i have spend around two months as well to work with it and one of my site rank number 3 in US google with around 200k quote competition but due to i am zero knowledge on keyword research, i got zero traffic from that keyword.

    As mentioned above, be smart to use PPC to select good search KW first before start SEO

      At least you've proven to yourself that you can rank a site... now, keyword-researched website is not do difficult for you to rank....

      paid traffic - you mean PPC. If you are talking about paying other people to visit your site and do nothing, I don't think it worth...

    SEO is a form of traffic i decided to get into for 2011. The idea of a site earning money without paying hundreds of dollars a day in advertising sounds amazing to me. My question to you is, you said you went from 20 to 40 to the money u are making now. is that from one site? or hundreds of niche sites. Also besides writing articles do u suggest anything else for backlinks

      Its an earning from just one authority site promoting CPA offers.... Once the site is indexed, adding content would boost its search engine visibility... Article writing, forum signatures, SMO, blogs comments, etc, you name it..

          1. Contact your affiliate manager and ask them what products/offers are converting well
          2. Select a niche (health, electronics, loans, real estate, etc)
          3. do a keyword research
          4. pick a domain based on your keyword
          5. host and set-up wordpress
          6. write content promoting the products
          7. start promotion (forum signatures, articles, blog comments, etc)

          A detailed explanation is available at Stevens series of videos. Subscribe to get all of these videos at supersimpleblogging.com. Though these instructions are designed for micro niche sites, they are applicable to CPA. good luck

          • Adie, question...are you using multiple monetization methods?? If I was you I would start building a list and selling back end products. It's a great way to add extra $$$ to an already successful site. Even if you just re-cycle your traffic back to your site, it will boost your earnings.

            Nice work, content + links = $$. It's that simple, but it's NOT easy.

            Cheers,

              No, I have different sites for CPA and adsense.... I do not mixed ads... The list is the thing I hate most ever since I started IM years ago...It's expensive maintaining a list...

              • I suggest combining the monetization methods and list building...at least test it, bro. Add Ebay products, add clickbank banners (where appropriate), Chikita Ads (EZA, I'm looking at you)...milk every last dollar.

                Then you have more money to outsource -- content, graphics, SEO. And then... you'll never have to lift a finger again, because you're entire business model is hands off.

                Living the dream... as they say.

          SEO is a tough game because there is soooo much to learn to get really good at it. Trying to figure out an unkonwn algorithym is hard in itself...nevermind when that algorithm is always changing! The good thing is that the basic framework of SEO is pretty consistent...the on page stuff, the backlinking stuff etc.


          THE GREAT THING ABOUT SEO...


          is that if you know the basics, you can rank sites in niches and sub-niches quite easily so its not as steep of a hill for newbs as you would normally think. Just start with low search keywords and work your way up as you learn. There is no better feeling than seeing your site up in the top three positions..even if its for only a modestly searched for term!


          SEO is in fact a love/hate game for most people...including myself

      before, I used some single-product page landing pages. As I keep improving of what I am doing, I found out that creating a blog with lots of posts in related niches do well compared to a single-page landing page....

      An example of what I am talking about:
      www.laptopforfree.net

      It's a single page at first glance but take a look at the footer, you'll see that this site has a lot of pages all promoting CPA products... and it's SEOed well....

      Another one I newly created with still less content is found on my sig (free samples by mail) - this is a new site and I have longterm plan for this... There are hundreds of related keywords to promote and I am focusing much on SEO of this site (see how rapidly I am building links in just a couple of weeks).... This site is not doing any good yet but I am expecting to start profiting after 45 days when traffic from Google starts to grow....

      There's a lot of offers to promote...health and insurance are among the best.....

    I'm really considering doing this soon.

    I'm currently running an offer for a free iPad. I'm using video marketing and it's VERY slow at the moment. I'm currently averaging 4 clicks and 1 conversion a day. Yesterday was my highest day with 2 conversions at $1.40 each. Maybe I should create a website for these offers and begin building a website.

    I've heard from many people that the key to IM success is list building. How is it expensive to maintain a list?

    Also, are there any FREE guides on the WF about keyword research and finding the right keyword etc. I'm very new (I don't know anything about seo) but I want to get started building my own site.
    Question about backlinking: If I have the link to my blog in my signature on a forum, does it create a new backlink everytime I post?

      Personally, CPA has nothing to do with listbuilding. List is good if you are always promoting products, or at least you have your own product. Eversince I started learning IM since 3003, I never focused on listbuilding. The main reason was, I can't afford to pay monthly subscription without knowing what to sell, and another thing is, I quit owning a credit card, which Aweber only accept... LOL

    First of all congrats to Adie. This is really nice. I got a question for you. Do you build small niche blogs based on a particular CPA offer? Like when I go to Peerfly and I want to promote the iPad e-mail submit offer. Then do you build a niche blog arround iPad with genereal informations about the item and then offering them a free iPad through your affiliate link? Or how do you do it?

      Building a small niche specific to only one product for me is just a waste of time in SEO. I pick wide niche like insurance, health, electronics, etc... For electronics, you can promote everything including that free ipad.... It's like building authority site promoting several CPA offers.... Free laptop alone can also be considered a big niche since you got a lot of keywords there like free dell, free hp, free macbook, test and keep, etc....

      I'm sorry but I don't have any plan of making any WSO... I don't want commitment with other people..... There are already dozens of CPA guides and basically, what I am doing is nothing different from what these guides are telling... It's just a matter of hard work that resulted to success... not any special guide.

      Your nationality or home country is not an issue anymore when applying with CPA companies. It's like adsense. If your site is not good them you might get rejected. Getting approved by CPA is easier than getting approved by Adsense because you have chance to talk with approving representative / AM..

      To all people who wanted to make money with CPA + SEO, give it 2 to 3 months to see the result.. This is not an overnight success....

    Seo is a gold mine, however it does take tremendous learning curve to get it right.
    Seo has easily made me over 2 million dollars in revenue over the past 4 years.

    Here are my best recommendations for Seo

    1. have the exact domain = the keyword for example
    keyword.com
    keyword.net
    keyword.org
    don't register any others for Seo purposes.

    learn white hat back linking strategy (very time consuming to learn and do)
    there are very easy ways to do spam link backs but it will not be worth it.

    Once you learn back linking that is working, you can outsource this task and will free you up to look for better keywords to target.

    Use free tools to find your competitors links
    link: domain.com (use yahoo.com for this not google)

    then manually go through each linkback for your competitors, then just drop your link.

        • I would also briefly add that you have to think long term and you have to spend money or time to make money.

          You have to jump off of a cliff (intelligently). You will lose money or time until you make money, but once you have leverage then things really take off.

          If you believe that you will be making money right away then you are misled. You will lose until you make, sorry to say.

          But think of it this way. If you build 3 sites (100 pages each) and backlink them properly, and invest say $1,000 into them eventually they will create a monthly income flow. So, you invested a bunch of hours and $1,000.

          But, after 6 - 12 months now you have 3 assets producing say $1,000 a month. Your return is fantastic from a business standpoint.

          Take the profits and re-invest. It's that simple. But people are paralyzed. Spend and invest and reap the rewards. Don't ever stop, site building and SEO are games of faith until you see things pay off after 3 - 6 months.

          Jump off a cliff today.

          Nope. Many big affiliates do but there are many that use all kinds of free traffic sources. In fact, some people use really weird traffic sources to. The thing is that the internet is so huge you don't need to play in PPC or media buys...there are pockets of opportunity all over the place.

          People make money with cpa with iTunes, starting forums, all kinds of non-conventional means

          TO be a serious CPAer you just need to take CPA serious...it doesn't really matter which traffic source you go for, it matters how good at whatever traffic source you decide you really are.

    Nice account and thread. Can you say what you do if the cpa offer expires? Do you check and redo posts or just use the default it redirects to?

      Debbie

      I can tell you I always set up the campaign so it's easy to replace an offer with another one. Many times the re-directed offer works as it's generally in the same niche, but you can almost always find a better offer. Especially when you are driving a lot of traffic, its important to find the best converting offer, not just use another one that works.

    so you write posts that are generally related to the kw-- or do you have them wrtitten more specifically towards the cpa ?

    you find kw then promote - then ad related cpa - is that correct ?

    Congratulations and keep up the good work...

    If you put your heart and hard work unto it, the long-term positive effect is almost 100% guaranteed.

      Hey Mohamed,

      The best tip for good keyword research is to find a keyword that is high in demand but low in competition. On Google Adwords you can go the the "Reporting Tab" and scroll down to the "Keyword Tool"

      Depending on what you niche is start with a very broad keyword and slowly begin to add more from the "Suggestions Box" Google will bring up on the right of where you input your keyword.

      Once you have your keywords entered, look at the columns that say "Global searches". The 22,000 mentioned in the beginning tread is where he got that number from. It means about 22,000 people searched with that keyword in the past month. Make sure your keyword has a heavy search volume.

      Assess your competition by looking at the "Competition" column. Stay away from keywords that are high in competition.

      Also if you're are looking for keywords for your PPC campaign then make sure to also factor in the "CPC" tab because that is likely what you'll also be paying.

      Final Tip: Never use one word keywords, way too broad so you could lose out on targeted traffic.

      Hope this adds to your keyword arsenal.

    I'm the newbie on "google adwords". I tried several days to do PPC to promote my senior dating site there but got not good performance.

    "I studied hard and focused on keyword research and got a very competitive keyword with 22,000 exact matches on google keyword tool."

    Would you please let me know which keyword tool or any keywords research pages you can suggest? Thanks very much!

      Congratulations, Adie.

      What makes your success amazing is the fact that you did the opposite of what gurus prescribe:
      1. you didn't build a list
      2. you didn't go deep in your niche (instead, you went wide)
      3. you didn't drive traffic through PPC

      Though I know it's not your thing -- perhaps, it will be a great service to this community if you can actually do a "blow-by-blow" account of how you built your website. This way, all the newcomers (like me) can learn and not be frustrated with our efforts yielding nothing during the first 3 or so months.

      It is easy to say we should be patient (and most of us are) but it would be so much more motivating to see someone's true account of how he made his website No. 1 in a matter of months.

      Best regards,

    Great job man,

    Article marketing can be a drag but it definitely pays off. I also try to write one article a day myself but I mostly promote ClickBank offers in article. The action ratio is probably not as high as yours but the article are getting ranked in Google and viewed multiple time on article submission sites.

    More people to look into the power of article marketing.

    the reason for testing a keyword to make sure it works is very simple and ill use an example.

    I created a game related website where i was trying to sell a ps2 game, back in the days where playstation 2's where the in thing. I did a big review on the game, loads of backlinking and created some in game videos for others to watch.

    300+ clicks later and no sales! the keyword was not a buying keyword and it was not an action keyword. Which means it did't convert into anything. 2 months hard work turned in nothing. Thank god i haven't got to worry about SEO or anything any more.

      What do you mean? Of course there are several types of keywords. If your website is offering no other than general information, it is hard to sell...

      Scale scale scale. Use every extra second you have to put into this campaign man. Getting to $5 a day autopilot is the hardest part. It's much easier to bring a campaign from $5 to $100 per day then getting it to the $5

    Great thread and inspiring OP.

    I'm just wading into CPA and maybe PPC. I'm decent at SEO so this thread interests me to earn more on my main blog. The CPA banner offer is a good idea. Thanks. Can't believe I didn't discover doing this earlier.

    For anyone wondering about SEO, I've tried small and large sites. I can say, in my experience, having a larger sites with tons of posts makes it MUCH easier to rank new posts. I'm talking tons easier. I'm all about building up 1 site. If you're in a broad market / niche, many CPA opportunities should present. I'll be looking into a CPA network asap.

    Thanks again for a great thread!

    I used to think in similar way that to make it big one need to do ppc but seo works relly good for me. And one more thing when a ppc advertiser says he/she is making 200$ per day they are usually making 50$ per day as they have to pay to advertise so their net profit is usually lower than what they said.

    Btw, here's an idea: you should start a blog where you write about your CPA work. You could monetize it, maybe to start out, with AdSense. Just a thought. I'd subscribe to it.

    Have a great day

    I will need to get my butt in gear and try this out. NO! I REFUSE to do PPC! PPC is a No-go road for me, boy! I ought to make this my full time job- Wordpress, domains and CPA. Will try to stick to .coms, but Nets and Infos are OK. I could seek out a few infos this afternoon and try it.

    I did SEO and Wordpress with a reviews site, and it worked fantastically. I got many hits to it a day now. I think I registered the .com a few months back and it is stormed with comments. Thank you VERY MUCH for the extra inspiration. WarriorForum is PRICELESS! JUST PRICELESS!

When I got a referral who was earning $200/day in just one campaign, I was really wondering how he did it. There was no way to contact him of course so I studied hard. I knew he was using PPC.

    That was the biggest challenge in my part. I brought him to this CPA program through my referral link and I said to my self I will not allow him to make money more than what I am making. In short, I had to work hard to surpass his earnings.....

    I studied hard and focused on keyword research and got a very competitive keyword with 22,000 exact matches on google keyword tool. I got the .net domain. I created a blog, started posting with one campaign per post and around 200-word related articles per day. I did my best in SEO for 2 months and finally gave the site more than 7K of backlinks after 3 months. The site started earning $20, $40, $60 and upto $100 per day in the span of 4 months.

    This beginning of the year brought me a personal breakthrough when my site placed on US Google 3rd and 5th on CA Google (I don't know why it is on 3rd page on Google UK). Though the traffic is not too high at around 600 orgaic per day, since December 28th (I believe this was the time my site appeared on google's 1st page), it is givng me a minimum of $230/day with a very high conversion rate due to targeted traffic from search engines.

    I beat my referral without spending a dime on PPC. My investment - hard work, correct planning, and perseverance.

    Now I am working on my second and third sites respectively following the same pattern on another niches.. Hope I can copy the same exact thing I did.....

    To other warriors who are not making money yet, don't give-up.. work hard and ask questions here if you have any...... good luck to everyone of us...
    HOW you got 7k backlink within 2 months. See my site in my signature , I need to SEO my site to get free traffic.what should i do now. pls suggest.

    Yes it works, i am #1 in Google for a "good" keyword also. (One of those where i ALSO didn't expect it as i did with "lose weight").

    BUT..the scaling is actually where i have the problem!

    I am hitting #1 with a keyword and make some amount from those every day....so i am doing the same thing with all kinds of other offers, using the SAME techniques to make sites/pages etc...but it just does not always work.

    Some keywords shoot up to #1 and totally surprise me because those are high competition keywords..and others i still have problems ranking. So it's always a trial/error thing.

    Also..MANY offers on those CPA programs just don't fit my existing sites..and overall there are only very few i can actually pick...i don't want to do weight loss (anymore) or gambling or dating and those are the majority of offers...

      I don't think so. The only thing I observed is that, the more you are concerned with these Google changes, the more you are affected. My rankings are getting inconsistent but the changes are not so big and is out of concern....

    You are lucky guy I was so, before google penalized almost all big sites. It is hard to see when you get 50000 uniques/day, and next day 8000.

      I understand your concern and with such figure, I am on your side. Nothing is permanent though... Just do your best..

    When you said the search term was 22,000 exact searches, were you referring to monthly searces? And on a separate note my CPA website that I've built over 5k press release links (and had 1st rankings) to inexplicably dropped and is staying low despite promotion.

    That is an amazing success story. I am using the same method to make money and I agree that it makes a great deal of money too. But you should also look for alternatives too.

      Of course one should always look for alternative as there is nothing permanent in this world. But so far, doing it for more than 2 years now and still working is already a great achievement... CPA was just an alternative for adsense for me, but now, my priority is CPA over adsense....

      There is no shortcut even if you use advertising funds. The result is more effective in the long term if you do it with passion and perseverance..

    very much inspirational. Thanks for the experience sharing. Although my belief is same like you;
    CPA was only for people who have money to use in PPC advertising
    And I'll give up my belief only if I can also do the same.

      Just try without counting the days... I tested only in one site and do the same with 3 more sites after the first one succeeded...

    Yes the real fact is SEO is not a single time process once we get into a good position we must not leave it simply. We should completely concentrate to keep on the tremendous promotions etc with our site to keep the present level.

    As everyone noticed, I'd been silent for sometime about on thread because honestly, one of my sites was fatally hit by Panguin and earnings reached to its lowest. But after making some adjustments in the last couple of months on content, It is regaining it's google position. I am using 3 CPA networks. In one network where this site is associated, my daily $30 to $50 daily earnings from this site alone was cut to almost zero in the last 3 to 4 months. This week, it is starting to move again and I'm seeing $28 yesterday and $22 early today,m and my site is still on 2nd page. Once the site reaches the first page, especially on top 5, I am expecting an average of $100 to $120 from this site alone daily..

    It think this thread is still worth the discussion...

    Wow, you give me hope. I am trying to do the same with my website promoting a cpa offer. Just wondering, what was the initial offer for? Did you just post the articles on your blog or did you put them on article directories too? Was this after panda?
