Make Money With CPA Offers..

[Keith]

Someone told me the other day that my next post was my number100, so make sure i write something that's worth reading. Hopefully this will be, especially for all you newer marketers.

How to Start Making Money with CPA offers.

Let’s get the basics sorted first.

CPA offers are probably a bit easier to make money with than Clickbank products. There are a lot of free offers out there from CPa companies that you still get a decent payout for. And isn’t it obviously easier to get someone who is looking for a product already to take a free trial offer, rather than try and get them to buy right away?

I am going to assume that you don't have any of the paid for search engine programs like Micro Niche Finder etc. so I will stick to doing the research manually.
If you do have these programs it will make your life a bit easier.

THE most important thing to do with CPA offers and indeed any other method is Proper Keyword research!

Yes it takes some time to do it properly, and yes it’s a pain in the arse, but it’s the most important thing you do. No matter how good your offer, if you don't have targeted traffic going to see it...then you don't sell...

With CPA you really only need the basics anyway... and there are people out there who have done the basics for Adwords etc already.... so if they have already done it... then why not borrow their work? I have been using this method now for some time and it works great.

First go to Jumptags.com - Beyond Social Bookmarking
When you get there type the name of the product you want to promote into the search box. When you get the results just copy them into a notepad for later.

Then go to: - Google Insights for Search
I really like this site as it gives you up to the minute information on hot keywords, and usually you can get some great long-tail keywords to work from.
Enter the name of the product and a basic keyword into the search box and wait for the data.

Do the same you did above and copy the keywords and add them to same notepad list you made earlier.

You should have quite a few decent keywords now, but we are not finished yet.

Now go to: - https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Paste all the keywords that you have stored in your notepad into the search box.

Now you will get a whole lot of targeted keywords that you need to go through now and cherry pick the best ones for your CPA offer.
What we are looking for is that there are Adwords advertiser’s spending money on the keywords. You can see if they are by the coloured bars showing you how popular the keywords are.

Now we need to go through the list and pick the BUYING keywords... things like Buy XXXX...Review XXXX....Comparison.....Product name etc.. not just those but anything that looks like a buying keyword to you is what we want. If you were looking to buy this product are the keywords that you would type in to the search engine to find it there ? You don't need that many a dozen or so will do you just fine..
Make sure that the words that you pick also have lots of Adword spend on them.

Now realise that these type of keywords are not going to flood your new site with thousands of fresh people a day... but the ones that do come will be highly targeted Buyers and after all isn’t that what we want?

Right... that’s that section done now..

Next.

Build your self a network of parasite sites that will help you make money with your offer. A parasite site is simply a site that exists solely to point at your main “Money Site”

Lemon's Link Wheel system is a great example of this.. I suggest you read it if you haven't already.
I know you can do this with your own site and a .com if you want to, but let’s use the free resources that are out there and are perfect for this purpose... sites like HubPages.. www.blogspot.com... WordPress.com Get a Free Blog Here... Squidoo : Welcome to Squidoo... Free Website - Wetpaint... etc..etc..
There are all free sites and Google seems to like these places and they seem to get a bit more Google Love.. and that’s what we want.

Set up a network of free pages on these sites all pointing to your "Money Page", by Money Page I mean the page that you are promoting your offer on. ie.www.bounceacnenow.com or whatever it is.

link site 1 to site 2 and so on.. and be sure to also link all these sites to your money site. If you are not sure about how to do this.. just ask someone here.. I'm sure they will help.

On these sites all you need to do is write a short article, and then re-write it a few times so you have unique content on your parasite sites. Remember that these sites are there, not to send you visitors directly from them but for the backlinks they give you.. and in Google at the moment links are power.

when you have these completed.. bookmark them all and then get RSS feeds sorted for them all also.

if you are not sure what bookmarking and Rss feeds are just do a Google search and there is loads of free information available on the net about these.

Also.. CPA offers do not last forever. so when your offer dies off or is withdrawn just go back to your parasite sites, submit another short article to each of them pointing again to your new money site and each other. just like before.

This works folks.. it’s a bit of effort, but using the same methods exactly, I have a site on weight loss (one of the toughest most congested niches) and my site is ranked at number 6 and 7 at the moment on Google out of 25,400,000 competing sites, and that number 1 and 2 positions are in reach with a bit more work. Not a lot of sales yet because position 6 and 7 isn’t good enough.. you will get a tiny fraction of the traffic that position one and two will bring you, so don't stop promoting your site and building links until you get there. That’s where the money is.

If each of these networks just bring you in 1 sale a day, that’s great... because then you just do exactly the same again for a new niche until you have 5 or 6 of them all bringing in one sale a day..

Sometimes it seems that whatever you do does not work. If you have tried everything and honestly worked hard at it, then my advice is put Adsense on it and move on... move on to the next project that may well work. They don't all work, (if they did I would be writing this in the Bahamas) but sooner or later if you put in the effort, one will, and that will set you off and running.

Finally please don't keep changing what you do every two or three weeks because it’s not working. Find a method that you can do, and is simple, just like this one,, and stick to it until it does work. It will, just give it the time and effort.

Hope this helps.

Good luck

Good post and this method is not just applicable to CPA networks. It can be used for ClickBank offers, for normal content websites and basically any site you want to increase traffic to for whatever reason.

The concept is simple and results are all about how you apply the technique. There are many sources to increase direct links to sites in the linkwheel and these should be varied - no point doing exactly the same for every linkwheel as any change is search algorithms would affect your entire portfolio. By mixing things up a bit, it safeguards a bit against algorithm changes.

Nice post man.

I have some questions.

When you set those parasite sites, how many articles you put on them,
and from your point of view is it a good thing to setup this network just on
blogger blogs?

Also for RSS feeds, do you just add those feeds to feed direcories or you also
submit those feeds with bookmarking sites?

Tnx
