The Most Effective Traffic Source To CPA Offer

I guess PPC to CPA would work for a high volume of low competition long tail keywords. But competitive words simply won't convert well enough...the only way I see it working is to send them to a squeeze page to capture a name & email to which you can then market to for a lifetime.

I am turning to CPA now and I think VIDEOS are going to be very hot source of traffic ... I even heard Luke Sample likes doing videos amongst other things for his traffic!

For me PPC is the best for CPA.

organic search with right type of campaign. I have a site and I did almost $20K per month from one site, after program killed all affiliate programs, income went down and no other offers converts like the other program. PPC is quick and targeted, but if you have organic traffics, it is free and targeted.

I use PPC and organic search traffic. Onsite placement and drive tons of targeted traffic using article marketing and Web 2.0.

Well it sounds like you guys covered PPC, banner, and video so I wont say those things again!

One other that you guys have NOT mentioned, is something I think I will be introducing to almost everyone, It is the adonnetwork.com. They do it all, almost any type of traffic/media buy... Things like, ppc, pop under, pop overs, RON, banner placement targeted and keyword targeted, SMS marketing.... I believe most all these things are placement targeted and keyword targeted... They have a ton of traffic sources!

There are a few places like them: Traffic vance ( $500 - 1k deposit ), Media traffic ( I believe a $250 deposit), Zango ( no deposit ) and the adonnetwork ( no deposit )... Some are better then others as far as quality of traffic.

I do stuff with them everyday with CPA.... They are great.

( No, they dont even have an aff program that I know of so that was not a plugin! )

From begginers to what ever, they are a great source of daily, month income.


Thanks,

Organic search all the way.
Might not be the most popular answer because its the most difficult, but its the correct answer.

If I hate watching video promos so much then aren't there customers out there who feel the same way? Its way too slow to convey a message and way too hard to re reference something, compared to print. Or am I just a dinosaur because I still read newspapers and books?

PPC gives me the highest return but I prefer organic as it's passive and there's no need to manage it.

By testing your cpa offers through ppc you can quickly determine which ones are even worth your time. Organic traffic requires time and time is money.

thank you all for the information.

Let me summarize on effective source for traffic generation for CPA offers .

1. PPC

2. Videos

3. Targeted banners

4. Adwords , including site placement and content network

5. Organic search engine traffic , etc.

I haven't had great luck with video, to be honest. It certainly drives lots of traffic, but I've had very few conversions with that traffic. Obviously there is potential there, since some are making a killing with video. I just haven't found the recipe as of yet.

1.) PPC
2.) PPV
3.) Banner Spots
4.) Classifieds

PPV banner spots

I did not test classified ads for CPA offers .

But , I will test it soon .

Mike

media buys are something to look into when u have the money also

I use various methods.

top ones are:

mini website

Video Traffic

and

outsource small projects, which makes all the difference.

I know one thing. If I'm making a killing with CPA and I have a great traffic source, I'm not posting it on a forum. I'm doing a rev share or something :-) Just my 2 cents.

PPC with squeeze page seems pretty good as you are collecting emails to market to customer in the future

Let's say you have a product that google doesn't approve for adwords. What then is the most effective source of traffic for CPA?

PPC
Videos
Offline
Articles
Blogs

Whitehat: PPC to CPA, media buys, banners
Blackhat: PPV, Craigslist, Torrents, Social media spam

Anyone care to share a link to a video that has been successful at driving converting traffic to CPA offers. I have not had any luck with them, but would love to see a winning formula.

PPC, banners, and articles

I'm doing a test now using Wordpress Direct. I'll let you know how it goes.

it looks indirect blatant ad .

You do not need a big investment to start PPC.

Just start with small amount and re-invest from your profit .

Mike

1. PPC
2. Video marketing
3. SEO

To me PPC is the best

You could try using traffic exchanges. I've gotten a buttload of clicks for offers that I posted on them. The only downside that I am aware of to traffic exchanges is that the conversion rate tends to be low.

I agree that most black hat techniques are dangerous and could get your account suspended .

Therefore , if you are using black hat - be careful .

Mike

PPC is the best way above all.

traffic from yahoo answers is very targeted...

I personally have had the most success with PPC traffic so far. early days yet though

ppc and articles

So PPC Still Rules The Day

I guess Organic traffic will do great for CPA offers,

you eran 1 usd and it cost nothing, but a little of time and pattience

My best source has been Yahoo Answers

It all going to depend on the offer and also the requirement of the offer promotion. I have been using a lot of Youtube Videos in my promotions. Creating free Wordpress blogs with targeted keywords. I have have used Craiglist a lot, banners and Media Buys.

ysm and msn adcenter with a bit of seo

Media buys, PPC and banners are good

So I see everyone keeps saying PPC. What I don't like about PPC is that they cost way too much, and it can take over 3-7 days to see any profit or to break even. I think social networking, article marketing, and other methods are the best way to get traffic to your CPA campaign. its all about Backlinks and how much you can get in one day.

I just read about u-tube advertising and I can't wait to try it out. I love free traffic!

For those using PPC for CPA what type of margins do you look for (CPC and EPC)?

What is considered a good CPC, conversion rate and CPA for a successful campaign?

ex) $0.35 CPC, 20% conversion rate on a $2 CPA offer would be typical (14% ROI)?

PPC is good (if you do it right), Videos are the next generation lead
capture. I think training videos are going to emerge bigger than
ever for loyalty. Just my take on it...

This is kinda funny. You all have covered every conceivable traffic source in this thread. Bottom line... there is NO perfect traffic source and NO EASY way to drive traffic (unless you have a huge budget or just hit the right sweet spot).

When I went through the Arbitrage Conspiracy course, there was a guy named Anthony who was putting up like 20 campaigns PER DAY! After something like 300 campaigns, he found a golden nugget, ramped it up and is now making huge money in CPA. The point is, he risked it all, spent massive amounts of money on his credit cards and hit the gold mine.

I am convinced that I could easily find a golden nugget today, put it together and have it profitable in 2-4 weeks using PPC, but I would probably LOSE 5-10K before I became profitable. That is called the cost of doing business.

And I think jeffm58 is right... with all that it takes to win big in CPA (like any business) do you think that Anthony is going to come on this forum and tell us exactly how he did it. Not gonna happen.

My advice (for what it is worth)... keep your day job.
Study campaigns on Google and Yahoo for 4-6 weeks in your preferred niche.
See which landing pages have staying power, build a similar landing page.
Research and write articles to drive natural traffic (the best way to do this is to BUY the product you want to promote and make sure it is legit, and then write about the business model, etc.)
Use social networking, bookmarks, etc.
Write lots of posts on Squidoo and Hubpages.
Write a good Press Release and use PRWeb.
Some of this will cost money. It is all hard work. On the web, there is no more free and easy ride.
BTW... I haven't used PPV, but I am considering it. I have a feeling though that, as some have said in this thread, it is still going to depend on LP, offer, keywords, etc. The ONLY way to know with anything is to test, test & test some more.

Hope that helps!

Tony

I believe if you can get an organic search should
be your first step for traffic because of cost.

Really the best source is the one that works for you.
Whatever that is.

PPC works fine for me......particularly Google Adwords. Yet to try yahoo and MSN.

When you say PPC, it doesn't mean what it used to: target keywords on Google, bid for spot on first page, hope for the best.

Now that you can buy CPM impressions on Google, target a SPECIFIC AREA on a SPECIFIC SITE, etc. the playing field has gotten a lot different.

And a lot better, in my opinion. If you find a vertical niche and forums, etc. that serve that niche, PPC is the way to hit them where they (almost literally) live in a relatively cost-effective way (still has to convert to sales).

Fighting it out for Pg1 of Google is for people who are just now reading the ebook guru courses they bought in early 2008.

Those old courses do serve as a great method to burn out newbie marketers, keeping them from bidding up the keywords which makes it costly for the rest of us.

Present company excepted, of course! :rolleyes:

Does anyone use free classifieds for CPA offers? I've made money with them, but certainly not like PPC. I've lost so much on PPC, I don't feel comfortable using it yet... You get to the point you just don't want to keep loosing, until you have a better grasp on PPC, which I believe takes quite a bit to master...

offline adds in newspapers get good results but can be expencive, ppc is also very risky if your new to it, its hard to get good advice if your a newbie like me

Well, yes...i always hear "PPC" also.

But..don't underestimate slapping a related banner on a high traffic blog.

Hey Mike,

Can you pm me?

David

banners for me on my sites...

how about the traffic that we buy ?? buying traffic from targeted country and direct them to my youtube video.. is that converted well ??

Yes ,

As you said traffic from adware networks or CPV networks are very effective .

But , you need to do them the right way to get the most .

Mike

on-site placement banners.

No competition as everyone playing around with adwords.

What are the adware networks out there? And how much do you need to start?

I think PPC, content network, articles are most fastest way to get traffic to Cpa offers.

Hey short and sweet guys! Lol !

I use a combination of PPC, articles, press releases, social sites. All works good for me.

I think whatever works for YOU is what you should stick with. We're all different, thank goodness, and what works for one may not necessarilly work for the next person.

Personally, I HATE videos !! 99% of them are total rubbish ! I can't be bothered watching them and, personally, I don't make them.

Hope this is a useful comment for some of you.

Cheers

Forgot to say, guys and gals -

I don't mine audios, much rather listen than look at some dude's "home office" !! Lol !

Cheers
Lynda.

I mix both ppc and seo. SEO takes long time but getting few links a day is not bad.

Is there any direct path from PPV to PPC? I am having some limited success with email and zip submits using PPV and I'd love to crank it up using PPC, but I don't want to lose my shirt in the process. Since I'e identified some offers that convert with PPV, can I translate to a PPC campaign? I guess the main difference is I'm targeting individual URLs with PPV.
