Clickbank Experts Testing conversions

Hi, I have a question for affiliates please.

I want to test whether to spend time in building a review site. How would you test?

Okay I've found a CB product in an interesting niche. Grav is not all that high >10<20
Its not in IM niche.I like the sales page, reputable vendor,good affiliate tools. If I had this problem it solves I would probably buy.

I can build a squeeze page and produce a free report and write a few email follow ups fairly quickly.


I want to see if this product converts before I spend too much time on keyword research and SEO. I'm ruling out google PPC for now.

What methods to drive traffic to the squeeze page would you recommend to get a quick idea of conversion?

Or am I being too lazy- Do I have to put the big effort in and accept the percentages -
some convert well,some dont.

I'm thinking possibly-
Ebay classifieds
Traffic swarm ads
Facebook banner ad?

Craigs list ????

Yahoo questions ?
Fiverr - outsource ads to tweets

Article distribution
Video ads



Thanks for your thoughts.
Paul

  • Content syndication is your best bet. It is the fastest and the best way to test out. Write 10 articles and distribute it to 5 top directories.

    You certainly make it sound like a "qualifier for one's attention". Well discovered.

    Clearly, one can't meaningfully test it without doing those things (or a "landing-page with an opt-in", anyway, if not a "squeeze page" per se).

    If I like the product as well as the sales page, I'd do that and write a few articles, put them on a little site, have them syndicated as widely as possible in ezines and anywhere else I can (including probably one article directory as well, hoping for further syndication from there - there's clearly little point in using additional article directories) and see what happens, expecting to make sales if the sales page is good.

    I must admit Ebay classifieds, Traffic swarm ads, Facebook banner ads, Craigs list, tweeting, Fiverr and videos wouldn't occur to me at all. But I don't know much about any of those things or use them.

    I might add "Yahoo Answers" to the mix later, for a few more strong backlinks, if I start selling it. But mostly the syndication of articles to relevant sites is going to do my off-page SEO for me.

    Good luck!

    • Okay Alexa beat me to it. I was about to add yahoo answers. It works like a charm if you do it right. Good luck!

    Can you explain what you mean by a "little site" please.

    Would you register a domain name similar to the product name or would you use a more generic approach?

    Where is best place to find relevant ezines - google?

    How much would you budget to spend on advertising if you can answer this?

    Would you keep going till you make some sales and then work out EPC?

    Thanks for the great post.

    PS Of course I meant Yahoo answers not "Yahoo questions" - does that exist

      Well, personally I use TypePad, but you can clearly do it in Wordpress instead (which far more people use, so I'm "guessing" you'd prefer it?). Just a site - to start off with, for testing - with a landing-page containing a prominently incentivised opt-in for the "free report" or whatever, and a product-review, and I wouldn't hesitate to put (masked) hoplinks there, and about 5 articles (I normally write 4/5 articles to start, because that'll be enough for me at least to see whether it's going to work out) on other pages, and the other bits and pieces you need (privacy, "about me", FTC-disclosure, site-map).

      I don't do that, because I'd hate to be dependent on one product. What if it's no good, or suddenly gets withdrawn, or everyone refunds, or whatever? I want to be able to switch and add products easily, as an affiliate. So I always get a domain-name that fits the niche, not the product, myself.

      "Directory of Ezines" is best (but not free).

      I can't, sorry - I don't pay for advertising. At some point I'd like to learn far more about PPC than I know now and "get into it", but I don't have time for its learning-curve at the moment.

      Well, EPC are of course far more relevant to those paying for advertising ... but if it's low gravity (10 - 20 is ideal, for me) and the sales page matches my product-selection criteria, then I'm really expecting to make sales from it.
