less than 2000 Global Exact Searches on Google and probably just have of that

on Yahoo or bing..

And I'm sick and tired by now
changing and adding Ads.. Download Impression share Report doesn't tell
me much why same ad actually generate more traffic few days ago..
Also. Looks like when changing a Ad, this doesn't help at all for some reason
Either their Memory not getting cleared up.. So I'm from now on creating new ads all the time.. Not enough traffic.. I need to create another 500 campaigns to make at least like Pizza Delivery Guy and for now, working
for $0.05/hour.. Very low traffic, This AdCenter stuff looks like 7Search more and more.. I guess those guys are losing ADV. space..

I had to pause the campaign today because advertiser added all their brand-name keywords as excluded which pretty much ended that campaign

I had hard time finding offers within the networks I am with(CJ/Neverblue/Linkshare) that allow brandname/trademark bidding but it is good to see the results people are getting and I'll start ramping this up when back in town and find some more lenient networks.

ps- regarding ad position and stuff mentioned in this thread on above. My ads following nick's tutorial were in 3/4/5 position and quality scores of 7 out of 10. It seems the most important think adcenter cares about it CTR rate which it will reward with relevance(quality score) and higher ad position.

Any chance on you re-releasing again soon?

Let me know.

AdCenter is definitely not 7search. AdCenter has about 30% of the search market while 7search's market share is minimal.

Again, I suggest you send your screenshots of your campaigns. I will help find out what you can do to improve your campaigns, FREE of charge.

Thanks.

Nick has offered to help you different times on this thread but you choose to just focus on the negative and complain, and now this? I'm sure you can find the details that may need adjusting with your campaigns on your own, ad copy etc, then send them over. Come on man, act like you really want help.

Nick may very well be more than happy with helping you with your request, if so, he is a very great guy, even more so than I previously thought after reading over this thread.

This is by far, the most effective course on PPC (not to say way way below the price for such a quality product).. its really clear and concise..

When I started PPC, I bought a WSO here 3 years ago - An Adwords coaching course for $900++ by some self-proclaim "Adwords expert" - that don't even come close to the quality of what Nick put forward here !!

Here's a snapshot of a recent affiliate network removing my publisher account and removing all my commissions. Total commissions was $389 that had been made. Total cost spent was roughtly $175. As you can see, not only am I out the affiliate commissions, but I'm also out the ppc money.


Here's another account, different affiliate network, that removed me from pushing their offer. Luckly, I hadn't made any commissions, but I still spent roughly $15 in PPC money. See screenshot below:


What To Take Away From This

If they say not to bid on trademark terms, you will definitely run the risk of having your publisher account shutdown and getting your affiliate commissions taken away. Be cautious on which affiliate networks you sign up at.

I totally not get it, what is their problem? Highly targeted traffic from Top ranking websites. I think the problem is just a "REASON" they simply wait till you generate sales and then grab your money for free.. This is possibly the 20-40% of their Biz Profits.. They got about $600+ just from
2 of us, sure it's better then just scooping up some pocket change..
The all point was bid on the product name and if it's not allowed then what is the point? Anyways.. I also don't understand how they possibly can track what one or other bid on? Other than just Sit all night long and tracking 1000 offers and typing keywords into search engines? Guess they have some kind of spider to do that work for them.. Well.. Gotta find the the way around this. Sure there is one.. You can sign up with Google affiliates and promote All On TV mostly from Target stores (they don't care about Registered Mark Words), the only problem is that they are paying 5-7% from the sales.. You're not gonna make any profit with such commission on PPC..

Good luck, guys..

We should really treat each affiliate network and each offer on a case by case basis. An affiliate network might be OK with one offer but not with the other. The same offer might be OK in one affiliate network but not in the other.

PeerFly is generally very tough on this issue. That is why I only recommended PeerFly for one of the many campaigns in the Platinum members area.

What is the second affiliate network? Would you mind sharing with us?

You are right in saying that it is the best to obey the rules of your affiliate networks. Again, I suggest that our members use the advanced strategy I have shared with you to deal with this issue.

Thanks!

Seem like a lot of the offers within As Seen On PC are NO SEARCH or NO TRADEMARK TERMS. I was checking almost everyone and they all seem to be setup. The offers that don't talk about PPC traffic don't get any searches, so that's no good.

Kinda hard to spend the money to then find out at any given time the Network can just say "Nope, I don't like what you're doing" and just yank all your commissions. Then you're also out the PPC cost too.

Besides Clickbank, what type of relationship do you have with your affiliate managers? Do you talk to them at all with what you're doing?

As I said, I suspect that they have some kind of Crawler which crawling

search sides for particular keywords and then follow the link all the way

I'm thinking maybe HARD Landing PAGE will Help.. I mean when Visitor

click on your ad he's goes straight to your site first, and then He has to

Actually click button to continue to final destination. So this could be

considered as I actually driving traffic to my OWN site and then

People See the Ad/banner and clicking on it.. Is that going to work?

Thanks.

P.S

Here is the great article about Prosper 202 cloaking:

Guy saying that even with the cloaking ON referrer can still slip through

And CPA able to see where your clicks coming from.

If you got 9,383 clicks, 169 conversion and revenue $3,538.10 and the other
you got 24,573 clicks, 61 conversions and revenue $1,995.70.. Do they are winner
campaign/profit or lost one?

I try to build 6 campaigns into Adcenter, I found the minimum CPC is $0.45. I can't imagine
how much you have to pay for 24,573 clicks.
Would you give me some comments?

I will PM you the tracking strategy I use to deal with this issue.

I suggest that you carefully watch the new tracking video which I am going to upload to the members area later this week and make sure your Prosper202 does work.

Thanks.

What I'm concerned with is the cloaking part - I have everything "turned on" and am using the direct link within the campaigns. But with all the redirects, it eventually just goes to my CPA link, which would have my publisher ID in it...easily tracked back to me. What are you doing differently that makes the cloaking work?

Also, feel free to just PM me or let's jump on Skype if responding would be better for the sake of non-paying members.

Thanks!

let me know your thoughts!

Is it this program suit with that type of person.

Anyway I am already in.

What about PR? What would one of these sites be called in Flippa? What would they be referred to as? Affiliate website? SEO blog?

What do you say?
