by Daniel MoroMany affiliate marketers become caught up with identifying and testing new affiliate products and sometimes miss out on the opportunity to maximize profits products which they are already successfully advertising.
A few hours spent optimizing pay per click advertising campaigns can sometimes be a wiser investment of time than continually chasing after new products. There is a time and place for doing that, but my advice to affiliates is to make the most of the good products you have already identified and ‘milk them’ for every dollar that you can.
Recently I went through some of my own ‘successful’ campaigns and I was quite surprised to learn how easily I could increase the performance of each campaign. Almost every campaign became more profitable as I employed a combination of the following techniques. I suggest that you check if any of these might lead to improving the profitability of your advertising campaigns. 1. Increase Your Campaign’s Click-Through Ratio by Split Testing Ads
If other affiliates are promoting the same product at the same pay per click network, then you must make every effort to capture as high a percentage of the available traffic as possible. One Continue Reading

Pay per click advertising has taken the internet by storm over the past several years. With the emergence of the first pay per click search engine, GoTo (Now Yahoo Search Marketing), to the undisputed king of pay per click advertising, Google Adwords, small businesses and individuals now have the ability to compete with large corporations on a worldwide playing field. Pay per click advertising has changed the way that many people now do business. I’ve already stated that Google Adwords is the undisputed king of ppc, but what happens after that? So who are the best pay per click search engines? Let’s take a look.
#1. Google Adwords – Undisputed because of the ability to have an ad published worldwide in 10 minutes or less. Google doesn’t make everyone wait five days to have their ads hand reviewed, so you can be up and running within 30 minutes from the time you open an account. Unmatched ability to test ads and headlines. Many companies and individuals test ad copy for offline purposes on Adwords. They simply split test ads until they have a strong “control” and take off running with an ad that is PROVEN to work. Best of Continue Reading

It is important when placing pay per click advertising on the internet that you understand who will be viewing your ads. What is the target market and demographic of the audience of the pay per click provider? Where will they be placing your ads? Will they place your ads on their own search engine site, on their partners search engine sites, or even other content based websites? All of these questions are important to minimize the risk of overspending. Remember your goal is not how many people see your ad or how many people click on your ad, but how many highly targeted consumers will click your ad and purchase from your website. The key is not getting the most clicks, but maximizing your conversions and your return on investment.
Let’s look at an example using Google Adwords, since Google is by far the leader in pay per click advertising. By default, when placing your pay per click ad with Google, your ad will appear on Google’s search engine, their partners search engines and their content network. Google’s partner sites include other search engines such as AOL.com, Shopping.com and Earthlink to name just a few. Both the Google search Continue Reading

AdWords is Google’s answer to helping people get their ads out and increasing their website sales with heavily targeted traffic. This article will give you a big head start over most.
This is a PPC ( Pay Per Click ) system. You only pay for advertising when an interested person sees your AdWords ad and clicks on it. The amount you pay per click is dependent on many factors.
Some of the factors that go toward deciding the price per click are:
1. The amount of competition bidding on that keyword.
2. The site value that Google may give your site.
3. The amount of clicks on your ad itself compared to the amount of exposures your ad receives (CTR),
Even though a keyword may start at a high price per click, its popularity will bring the price down. Popularity is the result of people using Google to search a term or phrase and choosing your ad. As your Click Thru Rate (CTR) rises you will see the price per click go down. I’ve had keywords start at over one dollar and fall to about five cents a click.
Some tips to lift Continue Reading

Search engines have now surpassed the “Big Three” (print, radio & television) as the primary media of marketing for numerous businesses. More and more companies have discovered that there is a significant portion of their market online. Pay-per-click campaigns (PPC) augment lead inflow by posting the company’s ad on relevant search result pages of major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN; even content sites like ABC, PGA and ESPN have come to join the party through new-comer Quigo Technologies.
At first sight, pay-per-click campaigns can be misleading. Pay-per-click sounds easy enough to understand. You pay for every click. Companies compete with one another through a bidding process. Whoever bids the most, gets the highest rank and consequently more clicks, more traffic and theoretically more leads.
It also seems easy enough to implement too. Prerequisites include:
* Research a list of relevant keywords
* Write appropriate marketing copy (ad texts range from 70 to 180 characters depending on which platform you use). These will be associated to certain keywords
* Assign relevant landing pages or where you want to direct traffic from your ads
* Develop tracking mechanisms to determine conversions and campaign effectiveness
When you Continue Reading
