3 Sneaky PPC Tips
Posted by AC Editorial Team in Affiliate Marketing Tuesday, 20 October 2009 09:35 31 Comments
These PPC practices are three of the principle practices that millionaire super affiliates do consistently that regular affiliates, who feel that they are just hitting their head against the wall, don’t do.
If you want the best chance of entering the super affiliate ranks, follow these tips:
1. Test 5 to 10 offers per month.
Most offers will not be successful, but with this level of testing you should find a winning offer fastest. It may take testing 15 offers to find a winner, an offer that makes you $100/day of profit. Drop offers that aren’t winners after you’ve spent 2X to 3X the product’s commission.We’re releasing a video VERY soon that goes into details on how to do this. Remember, our PPC expert Amit Mehta went through 15 FAILED campaigns before he hit a success. It takes time, yes, even with the right training. Amit was doing it all on his own.
You have a chance to really cut your risk by using PPC Classroom 3.0 (releasing on November 3rd).
2. Dramatically expand your keyword lists for the winning offers you uncover.
A typical affiliate only bids on 10% of the converting keywords for an offer, and typically they’re the most obvious keywords. He or she who bids on the most converting keywords conquers the niche, so find those other 90% of converting keywords. Use a program such as KeyCompete.com, which will tell you the thousands of keywords the super affiliates in your niche are bidding on.Again, we’re about to release a whole set of tools that will help do this FOR you on November 3rd. Either way, in the next few days, look for a video from Amit that explains exactly how to find those other 90%…
3. Advertise in the content network if your customers buy your product on impulse.
The offers that work in the content network are impulse buys. These are those products that internet surfers aren’t actively seeking, such as dieting offers, make money offers, or free trial software download offers. Advertising on the content network has the potential to give you much more traffic and less cost per sale. Make sure to completely separate your content campaigns from your search campaigns, and organize content campaigns by grouping keywords within adgroups based on that group’s theme.Promoting CPA Offers in the content network is another great way to go!

FTC Ruling on Reviews and Testimonials
Posted by AC Editorial Team in Blog Marketing Monday, 19 October 2009 22:50 13 Comments

We’ve been carefully watching the FTC’s new ruling on endorsements (review sites) and testimonials to determine how it might affect affiliate marketers. When the new ruling first came out, there was talk about an $11,000 fine for those caught out of compliance. But that information was detracted, and now there is no mention of a fine. However, since it IS the FTC making the new guidelines, affiliate marketers should take notice.
