A great way to earn money promoting some of the Programs on AffiliateBOT is to use Search Engine Adveritising (PPC) on google, yahoo, and even miva.
For the Super Affiliate, you probably already know this and laughing to the bank every other day, but for the newbie, please read on.
What is PPC or Search Engine Advertising or Adwords?
PPC means Pay Per click. Search Engine Adveritising means buying ads on search engines like google and yahoo. Adwords is the name of Google's advertising services.
The best, by far, PPC is google Adwords, so I am just going to concentrate on that here. You can use the info on other search engines.
How do I use Adwords to promote programs on Affiliatebot?
- Go to http://adwords.google.com
- Sign up an account
- Create ads for the programs you wish to promote (examples below)
- Make sure your link to url is your affiliate link.
- It's that easy!
The idea is to pay a few cents/click on very targeted keywords that converts well and you get paid large commissions on sales which means you make a handsome profit.
For example, if you paid 5 cents/click for a payday loan program, and after 100 clicks someone converts, or fills out a payday loan form, and you get paid say $20 from affiliatebot. You make a profit of $15 as you would have spent only $5 advertising the program.
But if you spend 10 cents/click, and after 500 clicks still no sales, then you would have lost money. So, be sure to use very targeted keywords. You'll lose money using general keywords.
Tips:
- Use highly targeted keywords
- Promote individual products for merchants with more than 1 product
- Try out many different creatives and text ads to get the highest conversions
BTW: Not all programs will return a profit this way. Find niche programs that not many people are bidding on, or programs with a lot of products such as CollegeJersey.com, AsiaJam.com, GrowerFlowers.com, Loans, InkJets, etc.. then target the individual products.
For example, if you are promoting AsiaJam, using keywords like 'asian fashion' would be too general because 99% of people who keyed in 'asian fashion' may not be looking to 'buy asian clothing'... they may be just trying to look for cool asian fashion pictures or join an asian fashion forum, etc.
You could hover use very targeted keywords for a particular product like 'rainbow hair clips', 'kawaii apparel', etc.
The most targeted keywords would be the merchant's brand of course such as 'asiajam, asia jam, asiajam.com, asiajam discounts, etc', but be sure to read up on the merchant's Tos before using their brands on PPCs because some of them do not allow it. AsiaJam, however allows it... so feel free to use the asiajam brand. Why use the brand? Because people looking for the merchant's site is already pre-sold and are most likely to buy.
