Here is my guide, free for Choppers.

Pass the word around, but not the book. People who aren't choppers, should get it off the website. Respect my decision to give this out free in the first place, and please don't upload everywhere and spread it like swine flu.

Wow thanks Ash. Really appreciate the info. You make it sound easy and you make it look easy...lets see if it is easy!

It's a really good guide, but won't that ppc method be detected by google easily, and your QS reduced?. I've seen these kinds of campaigns before but they don't seem to last too long. But there's probably something I don't know, will await clarification on this.

[JeremyWaller]

Yea, see my post on the thread this was originally posted on:

I ran with this method for a little while. They key to it is having a landing page with a very high CTR. A CTR to push for on these is 70%-80%. If you can achieve that, then this is easy money.

($0.10/click)/(70% LP CTR)/(50% Offer Conversion) = Cost per conversion of $0.29. The lowest paying zip submit offers are $0.80 or so. That means on average, you'll make $0.51 per person that clicks on your ad. 100 clicks/day = $1,500/month.

The only problem is that Google hates these type of landing pages. Your campaign is toast as soon as you get a manual review from Google.

Alright, is there a way to circumvent that google slappage, or do I just squeeze all the zips and emails I can and wait for the eventual banhammer to fall?.

The most obvious way to circumvent the google banhammer is to... use other PPC networks

I tried this last night, spent hours setting it up and my ppc campaign is sitting there saying Eligible and doing nothing

If your PPC account doesn't have some history or if some of your keywords are on Google's "list" then they'll usually manually review your campaign before they let it run.

[stewmath]

ive had the account for years and had other campaigns running straight away before, until they decided to google slap my age of conan gold guide campaign.

[Ashley]

Well you did PM me your keywords, and they are probably waiting for a manual review.

I suggest you try something different like I mentioned.

Remember there is more than Neverblue out there. (See the sticky in this forum for a list).

You might find your own campaign based on the principles of the method I have outlined!

Don't rush into it all, and take your time until you get it right

[Blackman]

Nice method, and I'm sure it works (you've also proven it ), but it's very risky to do this stuff with Adwords...Those type of landing pages is exactly what Google hates, lol

[jimmybloggs91]

Noob question but I have never worked with CPA's like this just CB and Adsense:

Do I need to have a proper website to sign up or is it just like CB where you sign up and they say here's your code etc. go spam it wherever you want

[MedicAffiliate]

You've got to have proper proof of your projects etc. Just mention that you do a lot of PPC and clickbank, maybe show them a sample site or two when the aff. manager calls or you call them. Try to have someone guide you through the form though...cause I just got rejected from Neverblue without understanding what they wanted on the form <_<

[Ashley]

Yeah I got accepted on my main two networks (Neverblue & MarketLeverage) fairly easily!

I explained the fact that I use PPC and article marketing, usually pointing to a landing page, and that's that!

Neverblue asked some good questions, and it did stop and make me think before I speak..

MarketLeverage on the other hand, just seemed to care that I answered my phone lol! (And their affiliate interface is yucky, but they have good deals!)

Cheers

Great Info ... I am yet to discover CPA networks

[Ashley]

You haven't lived lol

[inzpiration]

Ok I'm tired now, Google slapped all of my CPA campaigns, I'm done with this! anybody else experiencing this?

[Blackman]

lol, don't tell me you were trying to promote this with Adwords?

I'm kinda done with CPA too...Tried some classifieds (ads deleted, lol), wanted to try MySpace advertising, but that's US only, and CPC was quite high anyway...

Finally, the only thing, which I think works with CPA is article marketing, but obviously it's very time-consuming and article rankings are not guaranteed...

Well, all I can say that CPA is not as easy as it may seem in the beginning

[Ashley]

Mail list mail list mail list

[Blackman]

Mail list mail list mail list

Oh yeah, list building..I'm sure that works too

Inzpiration and all others who are tired of google slaps... maybe using this strategy will help:

1. Use google adwords to build lists only - sell nothing, provide free information incentives to get targeted signups (no CPA or things like that and target content network).

2. Use other PPC programs to try direct selling - and if suitable, to plug the mailing list as well

3. Monetize the list


In my view, Google do not like affiliate marketers using adwords for the following reasons:

1. The majority of them do not have the adspend desired

2. The ones who do spend significant amounts of money are promoting questionable products that reflect poorly on the google brand

3. Affiliate marketers who have mastered Adwords are taking away too much traffic from higher paying, less experienced companies (google wants all corporate adspend as branding ads = huge profit)

Thanyou dude!

D'oh. I was about to start doing something similar to this around March last year.

I signed up for Neverblue, they asked for my phone number so that they could give me a call. I gave them my phone number (on 10th March 2009). They still haven't rung. I just emailed them again. Whichever manager reads my email (if they bother to check the timestamp on the previous emails) is literally going to roll on the floor, laughing.

I am still awaiting that phone call. Anytime welcome. ;-)

I had purchased a script called "Poll Control." This cost me $20. I never got a chance to use it, because Neverblue didn't call me and I forgot to chase them up. Poll Control appears to no longer be charging a fee to use their script.

I checked just now... And I've even got a Yahoo Marketing Solutions account that still has $30 credit.

I think I'm ready to start!

Edit: Just gave NeverBlue a call. Went onto voicemail. Hopefully they'll do something now. This seems pretty slack.

[Zuha]

neverblue is not newbie friendly at all ... I got rejected 3 times applying to it. Almost giving up now...

[Ashley]

Try Marketleverage

[inzpiration]

Well, I like Clickbooth!

I've nearly waited a whole year - contacted them through multiple mediums, and still haven't even received as much as a response. Worst company I've dealt with. They really don't care about new applications, at all.

[tedharris]

Thanks for the info! I have been putting off CPA until now, but this should allow me to at least get my feet wet without losing my shirt.

[gduncan]

Thanks for the guide, Ashley! Great tips in this thread, too.

I've been experimenting with MediaTraffic as a traffic source to sell ClickBank products. I haven't had much success with that, but I see some potential for promoting CPA offers. I guess my next step is to sign-up at NeverBlue and see what happens.

Yea, see my post on the thread this was originally posted on:

The question is how on earth to obtain 70 80% CTR ?
