CPA with Google Adwords?

by shamoonak12

I was thinking of promoting CPA offers on google adwords. Could someone guide me as to how it is done. I think the content network would be the best option for this. What do you guys say?

Can offers be directly linked from the CPA ads?

    Google adwords too expensive. I suggest you start with ad center microsoft first, because they easy to work with. Ad center are not stricted like google adword. By the way google does not allow direct linking anymore.

      Btw, should I direct link from the ad center, or use the same landing page method?

      I agree, Microsoft adCenter is the best place to start. And with regards with Google adwords, yes they are now very strict with the landing pages issues like bridge page violation.

      Good luck!

        Yeah, I got a 0.09 avg. cpc which I think is fairly good considering I set my maximum bid to 1.75 to get a high click through rate to improve my quality score. I have very few clicks (6 to be exact) right now to jump to conclusions, but I'm hoping I start seeing conversions too with it soon.

    you still can promote CPA with Adwords. Not many affiliates are doing that anymore. Yes go for content network instead. Try not to direct link them. Build a lander that comply with their ToS

    Good Idea. I'll check out microsoft's ad center.

    For the lander, wouldn't I need to iframe the offer or something? Isn't there a whitehat method of doing this? Could you give me an idea on how to use the lander to take visitors to the cpa offers.

    You just choose your keywords, change up a bunch of stuff and pay for the visitors. It can be done for free too but it takes time.

    Thanks guys for helping me out. I've signed up to adcenter. Just curious, should I go for the search network, content network, or both?

    If you study which keyword are converted should be go for (Search) but you can do both, and SEARCH bid price is higher than content bid. I seen more conversion from SEARCH because it targeted traffic. I'm not worry much about content. Search is my main focus when I'm running cpa.

      I setup an offer in an iframe and signed up with adcenter for traffic.

      Have my fingers crossed. Hope it makes me profitable.

    In my opinion you should start with Micrisoft. It is easy to work with them and much more cheaper than adwords.

      That's what I'm doing. Adcenter is Microsoft's advertising service.

    Be careful with iframes, many offers, including zip/email submits don't like them and if the network/advertiser finds out you're using one, you may get your leads reversed. Always check with your AM first to make sure they're ok with you running an iframe to an offer.

      Im using peerfly and they allow iframes. So that isn't an issue. Thanks for the heads up though.

    Guys I need some advice.. I got my first cpa signup.. which was for $1.4 but my spend for the day was $9.50. I scaled it up to get a good quality score from click throughs, should I now significantly reduce the max bid so that my ROI improves or should I maintain it for a day or two to ensure a better quality score?
