    OK, thanks for clearing things up. But can I ask one more thing? I know affiliate marketing and usually my main method is SEO. I know if we try to get as many clicks as possible to our affiliate link, our conversion rate would be much lower than if we provide review about the affiliate product. You only provide your affiliate link, how could you get profit? How to find an offer that's good in its conversion rate? I don't want to make $10,000 but I pay more than $10,000 to adwords

    edited: i have read your ebook and I think you are doing great with neverblueads. But I think not all advertisers (merchants) will approve our application automatically. Sometimes my application got denied by merchants in CJ (maybe) just because I have no affiliate websites that talk about their sites yet...how to avoid this?

    Well you have to atleast have a good website for the networks to see. Then tell them how you expect to promote the offers.

    Have answered some more PM's.

    Many people are still asking if it is OK to link directly to the affiliate site. Like I have said in previous posts yes its fine to do so. I have also provided a link to Google help pages where they its fine to do so. So please read all the posts before sending PM's

    Thanks :)

    ok thanks no_20 for your answer. Just some more simple questions...you said you use display URL to merchant site. BUt how if one day your merchant site bid on the same keyword, I heard you'll get banned because adwords do not want to show two same URLs for one search result, is it true? Have you experienced it before, like promoting a site that has agressively promote their site through adwords so you have no chance to bid on the targeted keywords?

    And anyway, how good your average conversion rate is? How high your average profit margin is?

    You will not get banned for this. The ad that has the highest bid for each keyword will show. So if you bid $1 and the merchant bids $0.50 your ad will show. If the merchant bids higher then you then you ad will not show. Again you will not get banned for this.

    As for conversion and profit margins that's for you to discover yourself.

    Thank you for sharing this guide. Very informative.

    For the $30 example, how much in PPC advertising do you pay?

    Thank you,
    Chuck

    Just read your guide and I have to say that it's pretty good. You should definitely make a guide on how to make landing pages though....you don't get a good QS with direct linking.

    How much do you usually bank per month with affiliate marketing?

    He said he doesn't need landing pages because he believes landing pages to your parent (merchant) site will only get you banned in the long run...that's why. What is "QS"?

    Well this is for you to experiment with. Start out low and once you get conversions you can increase the spending.

    Good luck.

    Make sure you read through Googles TOS and check the help pages they have for AdWords.

    Simple landing pages i.e a page with a picture and some text then a button saying CLICK HERE will get you banned sooner or later.

    Google do NOT allow one page landing pages anymore. You need to have quality sites if you want to have a landing page.

    You make sure you read your merchant TOS. Bidding higher on a same keywords that they are bidding, while direct linking, will get you banned from the merchant.
    There is no such a thing as one page landing page. You have to include content, privacy policy, TOS, about us, contact us, also blog linking to your home page is helpful etc....
    This way you will have better QS and you can bid on more targeted keywords.
    I don't know what your strategy is though, maybe i will read your eBook when I don't have nothing better to do.

    OK lets approach this calmly no need to get into a fight :D

    True if the merchant doesnt allow direct linking you will get banned from them. This said most merchants on NeverBlueAds DO allow direct linking.

    Also true is that type of landing page you have described is a good one.

    I was making the point that a one page simple landing page will get you banned from Google.

    I may put together a landing page guide to go with my current guide make sure to keep an eye out for it :)

    Here, a nice smiley, so you know that we're not fighting.:D
    I said that if your direct linking than you can't bid on the same keywords that the merchant is bidding. If you overbid them you will get into trouble. If you don't overbid them than your ad will not show and you will lose very targeted traffic. So, creating a landing page is much better than direct linking. Maybe DL is better in the short term, for testing new niche. This way you will save money from buying domains and creating LP's, if the niche end up as non converting.
    As for the landing page guide, just follow my steps that i put in my previous post and you will do fine.
    Keep an eye for my other advices.:)
