Weirdest 3 sales ever, but hell I'll take it. $100!

This was originally a very old campaign that I completely abandoned...

I used one of the E4E templates, but designed my own graphic for the top (takes like 5 minutes) and changed around some stuff to make it a grey/red theme over a green theme. I also used Lemonarian's secret link thing, works like a charm.

I focused on article marketing, pretty much. It takes me 10 minutes to rewrite an article that I have memorized. My keyword process involved Market Samurai:

1. Base keyword was pulled from the product name itself, I just generated a bunch of keyword ideas. I also used various related keywords to generate more ideas. 3 word minimum for all keywords.

2. Used the Total Traffic and SEO Competition columns. I deleted all keywords with >10,000 competing results with quotes, as well as all keywords with <10 searches.

3. Organize from greatest to least traffic, just picked a single one and went straight to the article.

For the resource box, I made no mention that I was going to review it, just made it seem like I owned the actual product. Eh, might not be the best way to go, but it worked for me.

Then, I used a traffic exchange to throw 90 hits at the ezinepublisher link, which got me to second place in my category for most published. I don't know if this exact article benefited from it, but another article of mine actually ranked for the term "jumping higher", ranked as high as 4th w/o quotes even when I don't even target the keyword and just threw 300 hits at the ezinepublisher link.

The article doesn't have the nice CTR that I really wanted. 25% right now, with 27 clicks on the link. Through that came 24 hops and 3 sales...

That's a very good conversion rate man, good job.

Thats pretty good if you ask me, whatever your doing your doing it right so keep going. Try and spread the article around some other sites too gain some links and get some more traffic.

Congrats!

So Cubecul, you did this with the article and traffic exchange visitors only?
Also, were you capturing name and email?

Thanks for sharing!

Traffic exchange sent to the ezinepublisher link, yes, and articles.

I don't capture names and emails. It's probably a good idea, just I go on and off promotion so much that I don't think even a tiny $20/month is worth it as a kid.
