So far, all my sales and money has come from article marketing and (strangely) some offline marketing methods as well. That's why I want to branch out on my income streams and create a PPC campaign, and I'm inclined to try out the forex niche for this purpose. Now, I'm really hopeless at setting up webpages of any sort, and the forex blog I've made is really laughable, that's why I want to know if anyone here does direct linking with adwords ads and still manages to turn in some consistent sales, I've seen a few direct links to the forex killer page and I guess I'll try out something similar, except I want to promote forex funnel the most.
You don't have to create landing pages, because let's say, if you would want to promote Forex Tracer, then Norb has prepared some landing pages for affiliates to use. You just insert your own text and links, and done. I hear people always have more success with landing pages.
that's right, and to clarify, you'll be setting up these pages on your OWN domains, which means you wont' be direct-linking.
direct linking can work for ppc (many people make profit direct linking), but landing pages are always better. A landing page means you are preselling the product, so you are building them up to buy the product by the time they click on the link. If you do a google search, you can find some pretty good landing page templates, that you just plug what you want to write and some pictures into.
