    I am fairly new to IM but a looking to start with Fiverr and Wordpress blogs in google for affiliate links.

    Looks like the trend is my friend for the moment!

    Cheers for your advice.

    I do agree that PPC is growing more and more expensive and that's one of the reasons I am moving away from Google as much as possible, not just with PPC but with SEO as well. There are better routes out there to to take, like it was mentioned - video.
