    If I am dead on, I think somebody would feel pretty stupid after paying $7500 for a secret that will only work for some people. In my opinion, the true secret is knowing how to get cheap PPC to generate 100% targeted visitors and referring them to a product that is affordable, desirable, and relevant to what your website is all about.

    Well, I would think that if someone were to sell their system for $7,500, the secret would be a part of that transaction.

    I think I'm having another one of those 'light bulb' moments.

    I'll sell my whole campaign for $100,000 if anyone is interested. Hah.

    Seriously though, learning is part of the whole game, if you don't learn how to build a successful campaign you will continue to fail. Every successful and failed campaign is another step toward eventual success.

    No, but I'll send you a $25 Circuit City gift card if you can't get it going.

    Also, the thing about the lyrics website will probably work just as well. For each song you could optimize your web page for the name of the song followed by the word "lyrics". For example, "Freak On A Leash Lyrics". Then you could bid on that phrase in Adsense. It may, however, be a little more work since you're dealing with more than one page and have to setup individual ringtone affiliate links for each song.

    This isn't what I'm doing, but I think you're on to something. Quite a bit of work ahead of you - and I guess if you disappear from this thread and never come back we know it worked!

    That's an alternative I was thinking about. I'm pretty sure that my last post about the song artist fan sites tells the general concept you are using. However, if I was 100% dead on - why would you admit I'm right?

    Well, for one, if you go hunting for Adsense blocks on the sites you refer to, none lead to a site which end up pushing ringtones (which in one form or another would be me) - which means I'm not there. There being the niche(s) you refer to, using the process you theorized.

    Your process is also omitting the 1 to 1/2 steps I said I won't divulge, the steps that turn a niche landing page into a funnel that takes my visitor from surfer to buyer.

    That aside, you are right, if you were on to me I wouldn't admit it anyway. But go on, hunt down a zillion Adsense blocks on popular websites in your lyrics niche using your theory, none belong to me.

    Good luck (and yes, I suggest you start keeping things to yourself).

    How do I know which song artists your websites are about? It's virtually impossible for me to figure that out. But if I was a big fan of a certain song artist, loved ringtones, and had somebody introduce a ringtone to me that I didn't have for an artist I loved, it wouldn't be that hard to get me to buy it. Especially if I'm used to spending a few bucks on ringtones. I'm sure you figured out a way to do it that will increase conversions by maybe 20% but I don't think it's THAT MUCH of a secret.

    Here's a ringtones website that is selling on Ebay. Chances are you are applying this concept to your fan site list (or whatever you use) to get people to buy the ringtones. This website was specifically created to help you promote their affiliate ringtones program.

    Maybe you misread my last post, but your theory about what I am doing isn't accurate, so I'm not sure why you have taken this assumption in your last post.

    Do I think your theory will work? It might trickle in 2-5 conversions a day with at most a 10% profit margin, but your CTR is going to suck (I can't imagine people caring no matter how exciting you word your ad) and your CPC is going to kill you (celebrities names). After a week, you'll drop the campaign.

    Once again: Proof that I am not utilizing this method can be seen by viewing any Adsense block for any major artist and/or lyrics site. For me to be doing the now $3,000 a day I am doing I would need to hit nearly EVERY major artist in order to harness the huge amounts of traffic I utilize each day for my conversion numbers. You're not going to find me in any of those Adsense blocks.

    Besides, you also need to license the lyrics if you want to include them on your site or run the risk of getting sued. How does a $10,000 per song per artist licensing fee cut into the ROI?

    You should quit disrespecting the 18 pages worth of posts of I've replied to both you and others by pretending to be the little champion who put it all together when in fact you are far from. That aside, I wish you luck with your new campaign idea and hope you don't lose too much money.

    Ok, seriously now buddy. I have replied to many questions in this thread with tried and true advice about my campaigns in an effort to HELP others win in this game, and I've think I've done a pretty good job.

    But all the same, I am not an idiot, especially when I have $3,000 a day and my own personal financial freedom and future on the line. I have taken proper precautions to make sure no one can piece together what I am doing, which has included planting misdirection. Even those formulas I've posted, while very vague and rudimentary, really have no bearing whatsoever (especially if you saw my campaigns), but all the same provide a unique insight into looking into affiliate marketing from a much bigger angle.

    So again, quit trying to prove something you're never going to prove, and go off and work on your campaigns.

    Where did you come up with celebrity names? I never mentioned that. I said to use "fan sites" as your keywords. Like "24fans.com".

    I thought your theory was to bid on celebrity names like Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, artists, whoever, then lead them to lyrics sites with stolen copyrighted lyrics and then force them to buy ringtones.

    Apparently that's what I do.

    For my e-book, I started using other website names that are related to wholesale such as WorldWideBrands, WholesaleCentral, Salehoo, etc. for keywords and those seemed to be the only keywords that were getting clicks. It seems that A LOT of people are in the habit of typing in the websites they like. Unfortunately, Adwords slapped me with a high CPC because my website is not optimized for those keywords. I can't optimize my website with those keywords without getting a huge lawsuit. The only way to optimize your website for "fan website keywords" is to offer a LIST of those fan websites. Make sense?

    P.S. This will be me last post tonight because I have to go to bed.

    Greg,

    I don't care what strategies you want to employ - and I will be happy to give you my input on them. The fan site thing sounds solid. I don't do it. Again, I don't do it.

    What I DO care about is when you go from brainstorming campaign ideas to trying to crack my own campaigns - which again, is IMPOSSIBLE given what I've laid out in this thread.

    Thanks, and good night.

    You told me to type in the fan website names of the show 24. Where did that come from? And it also makes sense. If you JUST came up with that idea, I find it VERY hard to believe you wouldn't use it because it's legit.
