    I have been having hard time converting email submits with 7 search. So, I am not going to try that. I think it will be difficult and if you have a big budget, one can experiment with that.

      Use a related PLR and just use the traffic to build a list. Then use email campaign for the related ClickBank products.

    No, personally I've never tried.

    I would do an email squeeze then once I get their email, email them the offer.

    Also making sure to pick very off-the-beaten-path niches.

    Using a squeeze page to capture opt-ins is the right advice.

    You can't sell Clickbank products to cold traffic.

    A simple tactic that should get results: a 3 part auto-responder follow-up, 1 message a day.

    First message you introduce yourself, and describe the features of the product you're promoting.

    Second message, explain to your subsciber why they need this product.

    Third message, explain how to get the product and give some tips for implementing it, and how to get on going support.

    These are sent out 1 a day for 3 days. The repeated exposure will increase conversions. Use the clickbank TIDs to track the performance of each message.

    And while you're at it, be sure to choose products with rebills and build yourself recurring income.

      Then after the 3 emails what do you do? If I make a sale, woo! and if I dont thats ok. Do I just leave the list alone? Or go back to it in teh future? I am not sure...

        You can do as many emails as you wish over a reasonable time period. If you are giving away a "Free Guide to Work-At-Home" jobs or "How to Have Beautiful Skin", you have a niche that you can continue to send relevant emails to. They can be other CPA offers, more info products or direct sale of product. This is your list that you are building.

        This is how you make money. You are just going to go so far direct linking to an offer. You are starting out from scratch each time you do that.

        I was just giving you an example of a quick and dirty sales funnel that should get better results that just direct linking to Clickbank sales pages.

        You could continue the follow-up series with another 3 messages in the same format promoting a related product.

        If you're promoting a continuity offer (rebills), you could just start sending 2 or 3 e-mails a week that will help your subscribers get real value out of the product you've promoted to them to help ensure they continue paying every month.

    As a Clickbank Vendor, I have used 7search in the past to promote my product with success. The ROI was not bad at all. I was doing email marketing.

    Having said that ...

    After a while, I noticed my ROI got lower and lower and more and more inconsistent.

    The problem with that network is too many fraud clicks. My gut feeling is that as soon as their partners see big spenders using the network, they up the fraud clicks like crazy (it's basically free money to them).

    There is a way to block specific partners/sites, so you can lower the fraud click rate, but from memory it was not easy, and 7search themselves basically make you jump through hoops to do it.

    So overall, I would not recommend the network, based on own experiences, although if you're prepared to go through all the trouble of blocking fraudulent partners in their network, it CAN work, and you can make a decent ROI.

    Beware of 7search. They have a ton of fake click bots and overall low quality traffic. Take your money elsewhere. ie. Google or Yahoo.

      I'm profitable with 7Search traffic, and happy to spend my money there. I don't get garbage clicks for long. Its just a matter of proper tracking, and blocking the sources of bad clicks. 7Search will refund bad clicks, but you have to catch them.

        Hey I had a couple of quick questions...

        Where do you draw the line on bad click sources? I'm having a hard time figuring out how I know if the source is bad with CPA offers. How many clicks without conversions do you allow before you block it?

        How do you decide if there if it is a bad click (i.e., click fraud) or a legitimate but non-converting click? In Peerfly for instance, with 7search traffic, I often see a lot of raw clicks but not a lot of unique (i.e., 7 raw, 1 unqiue). Is that clickfraud or what?

        Thanks!

          Put an adserver between 7search and peerfly. I'm a big advocate of Prosper202 because it's free and does an amazing job for free software.

          Pass along the 7search affiliate ID with your clicks so it tracks in P202, then you can see which affiliates are sending your garbage traffic. 7search lets you block specifically affiliates by those ID's, so you can filter them out as time goes on.

          If you are seeing a bunch of raw clicks but very few uniques, that means the same person is clicking your ad multiple times. You probably aren't paying 7search for it (they actually seem pretty good about that), but you need a way of analyzing your traffic and P202 is the best way to do it.

    7search traffic is ideal for email and zip submits, even short form offers. However, in order to promote CB offers you have to offer them something free first and then send them emails promoting offers. If you do it correctly with a good squeeze page, yes it converts.

    We see pretty good results with our email submits and short forms as has been mentioned, but I've also read quite a few posts here on WarriorForum about people having success with squeeze pages and ClickBank products. Definitely worth a shot!

    I've had success with CPS offers for physical products in the skin care niche at a $25 price point. Conversions were uncommon, but the clicks were so cheap it was still profitable after blocking bad clicks.

      That's what you will see about 7Search, and most any traffic source if that is what you're looking for. There is no traffic source that you just throw a little money at and make a profit.

      I spent my first 6 weeks on 7Search "losing money." Really what was happenning is I was buying the data I needed to tune my campaigns and make a profit.

      You learn what works by trying, not by listening to people complain.

      I also convert traffic from PTC networks, traffic exchanges, and safelists. These are all generally regarded as "junk traffic" and that's fine by me. Less competition.

    yes it works.

    When people have something bad to say about anything they scream it from the rooftops and make sure everyone knows how they feel.

    When they have something good to say they don't really put as much effort into making sure everyone knows.

    it's human nature.

    I tried to spend 150$ on 7search and I just got 3 sales. Was I doing something not well about choosing niche/making ads/choosing products or 7search isn't a good PPC now?

    I think 7s is niche specific - again as most have mentioned here it's about testing and fine tuning. I ran a CB product last week burnt just over $280.00 with 16 sales for a total LOSS of $123.20 ..... spun the same campaign with refined data spent $63.00 with 8 sales for a total PROFIT of $15.40 Point is refine, re-tune and re-run

    Not sure why you suggest scalability is an issue... it's about tuning. Weeding out the KW that cost and don't convert. Anything can be scaled
