    Hey PPC Coach, quite generous of you to offer help! Thanks

    I wanted to generate leads for local businesses that are having high per-customer value, like doctors, lawyers, plumbers: you get the idea,

    Now I haven't decided whether I wanna transfer the Pay per calls via Callfire and charge them for each call made or having my sqeeze page filtering prospects and then forwarding the info to local biz owners,

    Can you suggest, doing PPC with which medium is adviceable? I mean 7 search, Adwords, FB or other ones? If you think, PPC won't be a good way, then can you point me into any direction?

    Thanks again for your help to the community!

    P.S: FYI, I'd be using PPC and sqeeze pages to collect some basic info and some custom fields to collect info according to the requirements of local biz owners.

      For local businesses, go with Adwords you can target so closely it's awesome.

      The pay per call using callfire would be a very solid route to take. But why stop at that, do BOTH. Build them a list AND use callfire. I would not bother with Doctors, they have a demand in place and don't need to market much. Chiropractors yes, but not other Docs. Plumbers tend to be cheap as hell and Lawyers can be a huge PIA. But try them your mileage may vary.

        Thanks a lot PPC Coach!

        So basically I'd set up a sqeeze page with Adwords and collect the leads with my campaign, I think that's the only way for lead-gen, right? Or you can think of something else too?

        I was counting on big time on those Lawyers and Doctors, but as you said, it won't be that lucrative, Can you gimme some suggestions for the niches to go after? Like roofers etc?

        Thanks

          Yes set up a squeeze page but have a giveaway that makes sense too. It has to be attractive enough to get them motivated to give up their email address. List building is big.



          As for what to go after, seasonal stuff works, but so do places like restaurants, bars, flower shops and things like that. Think about what people would look for online.

    PPC Coach is correct about most physicians. However, you will find dermatologists to be more like business people. They often sell their own products, deal heavily in elective treatments and have a lot of margin built in. Those "Lifestyle Lifts" are very competitive and lucrative. They sell potions and lotions and anti-aging procedures and ointments. Its like talking to a Amway rep with an MD.

          were u direct linking. That does not work with clickbank anymore.

          welcome to the age of listbuilding. Well, i guess we have always been in the age of list building, but clickbank works better if you build a list, and give give give.....make them crave for more, then WHAM they see your other email or you pluggin a clickbank product and whammmmo! SALES! they will come in.

          Build a list, especially with PPC you can build a list faster.

          Stay away from 7search and cheaper clicks like bidvertiser, stick with bing, adwords, etc.

          Lots of people have this problem. Typically it's one of the following issues:

          1.) No angles used, all generic.
          2.) One word keywords which suck 95% of your budget without converting.
          3.) Poor ad copy.
          4.) Direct linking thinking it's easier so it must work.
          5.) Not blocking bad sites in 7search.
          6.) Not being patient enough.
          7.) Not following any system with 7search.

              wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy, gluttony. ==> 7 deadly sins represent human fallacies that are tied with consumerism.

              you can also add fear and hope into the mix
              you can leverage them to create new and fresh angles
              when i brainstorm a new campaign, i check out my list of sins and create an angle for each sinner.

        You pick a niche, build a site in that niche and build your list on that site. People think that if they don't get a sale on the first click then it's game over and they failed. That's not true at all. You need funnel in place and somewhere to send people to entice them into giving up their email address.

      thanks for your thread
      You never lose money nothing, you're buying data and examining it to see where the profitable pockets are. Paid traffic is paid data research really. Once you examine, tweak, optimize you should be profitable.

      I've never heard of that network but will check them out. I imagine it would be good for a lot of offer types in the CPA world.

      Some guys go 1.5 to 2x the payout. I don't. A good rule of thumb to start with is go 80% of the payout for testing each keyword. So you could spend 80% x $20 = $16 per keyword in this case. You can adjust that depending on how agressive your style is.

      That is a prime example of useless information to me! (I do not mean to offend you in any way with that please don't be). It's a good learning point though. So you showed campaign level, macro numbers which are completely meaningless when trying to figure out "what's wrong". You HAVE to manage things at the individual keyword level.

      I'd have to see individual keywords to make any suggestions.

      Also, you said yourself that it's untargeted keywords. Why on earth are you doing that?

      That's like sending a nun to a strip club and expecting her to pay the cover and get wasted spending hundreds on lap dances! Sure you could probably trick her into going there, but she's not going to set foot in the place!

        THANkS A LOT !!!

        each campaign contain only Phrase,Exact Match for 1 keyword of 2 word...however i know how to get this kind of keyword over and over...i will keep split testing + some of thinking out the box till i get them convert somehow or find related/appropriate strip club ..you will be the first one to know
        when i hit split/testing #999 I'm sure #1000 will be the winning (I'm going through my problem -untargeted keywords i'm paying for- instead of goes around it )

          Right, you can have "untargeted" if you're using an angle.

          Example you're promoting a free ipad offer. Most would bid on the keywords:

          ipad
          free ipad
          ipad offer
          black ipad
          white ipad
          etc.

          Then their ad would say:

          "Get a free ipad!"
          "Want a free ipad, I'll give you one".
          http://freeipad.com

          HOWEVER that's what everyone does and it's the generic approach.

          I would do this for the ipad offer, (just as ONE example of an angle):

          I would take a sports team, say Memphis Grizzlies, I would then build my angle around that group. I would bid on Memphis Grizzlie keywords and not even HAVE the word IPAD in there.

          memphis grizzlies
          Marc Gasol
          memphis playoff schedule
          etc

          Then my ad would say:

          "Memphis Grizzlie Fan?"
          "We are giving away free ipads to the next 100 Grizzlie fans who click this link! Get yours right now before they're gone, limited supply."
          http://grizzlie-fan-ipads.com

          See the difference?

          I start people out on 7search with email submits. I do this for them to learn the ins and outs CHEAPLY. Then once they have that down, they can move onto the bigger and badder systems with higher payout offers.

        You mean traffic sources for mobile ppc?

        There's quite a few, but Adwords' own mobile platform is probably tops. Unfortunately they're not all that affiliate friendly so CPA offers would most likely get you banned.

    Is there any way around Google's "pharmaceutical word" restriction? I have a PPC client that's a drug rehab center, so they have a legit reason for using all of the "naughty words" like oxycodone and other prescriptions as part of their campaign. Every time I have to change anything I have to wait an extra day or so for a manual review to make sure we aren't an online pharmacy, so I find myself being lazy with them and not updating as much as I should. I asked Google if they could somehow set the account to automatically give it a pass and they said no, even though they're approved every word I've used every time. There has to be some way around it.

      No way around it. With Google you're guilty until proven innocent. It stinks but that's one niche that is tough to run on Adwords.

    Thanks for taking time to answer some of our questions. I've got a few for you:

    I've been advertising on bing with clickbank products (direct linking). I am running 3 products where im pretty much breaking even each day. (spending around 20-30 per product) and their commissions are in that area.

    What is my next step to trying to make these campaigns more profitable? Should I make my own landing pages?

    Also, how many different types of ads do you recommend me testing when trying new products?

      clickbank vendor here for 10 years.

      Direct linking on clickbank use to be good. Now does not work at all really. SO i find it really awesome that you doing that well. But still you are throwing your hard earned money down the drain.

      This is my personal opinion, if you are in the CB game and not building a list you are waisting your time in my view.

      you will have to test a bit, but nothing works better for clickbank than list building.

      Again it will take some time, but well worth it in the end. The higher quality your leads, the more chance to make money on the front end, and remember when you get a sale follow them up with other products or stuff you have on offer for extra income, then pump that back into PPC.

      At least 2 ads per adgroup and YES use your own landing pages. Make them look like the offer landing pages. I would also try to build a list in the niche with BING and then market to the list. That way you can sell to the same person several times.

So I'd advertise to get people to sign up to my list (no selling) and then sell through the autoresponder.

        Would I miss the opportunity to front-sell because there's no guarantee people will stay on my list or even buy at all? Or it's safer?

        I tried ads -> LP + opt-in -> offer with AdWords but very quickly got a warning email. Perhaps it's the wording of my ads but I'm a bit wary of doing affiliate marketing with Google ...

          No it's just a stupid thing where if a credit card expires and they try to charge it, they disallow that credit card forever for some stupid reason.

          Why would you miss the front end sale? Put up a bunch of offers on the thank you page after they join your newsletter. That works.

    Also, I notice there happen to be a few different product options in the larger niches. When trying to promote a new product would I be over extending myself in trying to promote more than one at a time?

      I wouldn't be direct linking cpa offers ever. It's a waste of time imho.

      People want that route because it involves the least amount of work.

        If this isn't a joke question, figure out three reasons guys would buy it. There's obvious ones, but you can always google things "Why do people buy penis pills" if stuck.

      Weight loss works well, forex doesn't on adwords and neither does IM, (unless you're cloaking those last two).

      I would build a list in the niche and market to the list everytime.

        Hey PPC Coach.

        1.) You are suggesting to have a sqeeze page for list building which I know is a way to go, but aren't FB and Adwords both have stopped favoring sqeeze pages these days?

        It's just I have read it so many times that if you are having a campaign that directs users to sqeeze pages, you would have uphill battle with FB and Adwords, can you please clarify?

        2.) I really wanna get started with weight loss, green tea and health niche with FB but I am facing the fundamental problem, {There's a user name "Bizoppmaster or something who told couple of days ago that FB + Green tea with middle age women is highly profitable but my problem is, if FB is not favoring sqeeze pages then there's just no point direct linking them..}

          yes you can't do what you want to do, but that does not mean you cannot build a list. Do what each traffic allows and you'll be fine.

          So don't do it on adwords and fb. There's lots of other traffic sources out there.

          So don't direct link them. have a pop over grab their email. Pop overs convert higher anyway.

        hi ppc coach

        can you explain me the best way to test a product ( clickbank ) , for example : fatlossfactor , I promote it on 7search

        product commission $30/sale

        so we make a campaign for fatlossfactor , add some related keywords, and then run it. and if total spend more than $30 and no conversion, then we should stop it?
        or change keywords, then run it again... until find convert keyword?

        can you explain please,

        thanks

      Depends on the niche and ppc platform. For some it doesn't matter. For others it's vital. Anything double digits is huge and will be rewarded. In fact anything anytime you can do that you'd be paying pennies. For Googles search network though anything above 1% is pretty high. For the content network 0.50% would be high.

        Yes you can on 7search. I have training on my site in how to do this exactly.

        I don't rely on epc as they're never accurate. Find a problem and solve it with the offer. Then check that page on alexa or quantcast if you want to make sure it's working.

          I love bing and 7search, some might snarl at that, but if you are breaking even, I would say you won half the battle, now you just have to tweak and test. Go hard, and well done.

    PPC is nothing but pay per click. On every click, the amount will be reduced and the advertisement will go down . It is only to bring your product in first page of the search engine.

      Well, leave that campaign running and fire up a new one with exact then another with broad. You can duplicate campaigns easily with Bing Ads editor.

      Landing pages and email marketing are fine. You can use them. If the offer doesn't allow email marketing, then build a page and send people to the page. From the page they go to your offer and you're all set. I share quite a few landing pages and sites in my training but am weary to post anything publicly anymore as people constantly rip landing pages.

      I use WP for a lot of my pages now. It's easy and fast.
