Grabbing Cheap Website Traffic – Like Adwords 2003

Written by · 13 Comments

So lately a lot of players in the Pay Per Click arena are starting to let the secret out.

The Content Network is a gold-mine if done right. The traffic and competition currently on the Google Content Network is like Adwords back in 2003 or close to it.

Not everyone wants to mess around with theming keywords, conversion tracking, and placement targeting on the Content Network, but it can be a real winner if done right.

The Benefits:

  1. Less Competition
  2. Much Cheaper Clicks
  3. Easier to Direct Link for Quick Testing
  4. Google Doesn’t Care About Your .03% CTR

The Disadvantages:

  1. MORE WORK

So what is the answer to making the most out of the Content Network?

Keyword Rockstar

–> Keyword Rockstar <–

* Yes the above is an affiliate link and I will make money if you sign up through me, so what are you waiting for.

But in all honesty, this is a killer program if you can afford it.

It even creates image ads for you automatically for easy exporting into your Content Network Campaigns.

Just think about he ROI if you getting Weight loss traffic for .15 cents or even less.

If you have no idea the power of this program and the Content Network in general, do this:

  • Sign up for OfferVault. (FREE and you should be a member anyway if you run any CPA offers.)
  • Check out the webinars page in your account. (They offer free weekly webinars with big name marketers.)
  • Listen to the recording of the Keyword Rockstar webinar with its creator Jon Shugart.

Then make your decision on whether or not to buy Keyword Rockstar and smash the Google Content Network to pieces.

Till next time,

P.S. – I am currently running a campaign with auto generated Content Network Image Ads.  I used Keyword Rockstar and was up and runing in no time.

Look for my results on this campaign in the near future! I might even share my Niche!!

How Many Keywords for PPC ?

Written by · 1 Comment

If your like me, you’ve taken almost every PPC/Keyword program and course out there.  Each using their own little spin on keyword research and how many keywords to use for your PPC campaigns.

The PPC Classroom guys suggest one keyword per adgroup and a list of keywords in the high hundreds or thousands.

The Commission Blueprint guys suggest a smaller list of a couple hundred to under 100. The go as far as to say that their most profitable campaign has under 100 keywords.

So what to do and who to believe.  Like all comparisons of this nature: “I believe they are both right.”

Let me explain:

When I first started out with Adwords, I used the Google Cash Method mixed with my own instincts.  To my surprise I made a few hundred clams on a dog training Clickbank product.

Then I moved on and read more and more from all the Gurus.  I think this was my mistake -> it showed in my earnings. The methods these guys teach require much more capital then the average dud or dudette can spare.

See if you are going to have a list of PPC Keywords in the thousands, you need to have a ton of money available to test with. This is a great method to find undiscovered keyword gems, but it is super expensive.

So I went back to the basics and my gut.  Swaying more toward the Commission Blueprint theory.  Start small (I even have a campaign running right now with only one keyword at the moment!) You want to get 300-500 clicks on a keyword before you really know if it is going to produce.

So do the math:

  • Your pitching (OK promoting) a $60 Clickbank product that pays $30 per sale.
  • Your direct linking to test the product viability and get the average 1%-3% conversion rate.
  • So this means to break even your initial bid will be $.30 – $.90 per click. (Don’t bid to low out of the Gate. Google will dislike your ad.)
  • Lets use .$30 per click @ 300 clicks.  This little viability test is going to cost you $90 per keyword.

So yeah! It gets expensive if you follow all the rules.  Of course, I don’t always do this myself, but I do like to hit at least 100 clicks or have lost double the product payout before I scrap a keyword.

If you start small with a high traffic keyword, you can always “Scale The Thing Silly” after you find a winner and make some coin (Think >> More Keywords, Variations on Keywords, PPV/Banner Placements, Direct Mail, etc.)

So the moral of the story is….do what you feel comfortable with! Its your money your flushing down the crapper.  For me, I like to start small and build out! But that’s just me!!

Love Ya!!
