Hey, This question is to people using ppc and cb. I just got a $10 minimum ppc request from google, so obviously they do not like my landing page...I was messing around with it and doing redirects so thats probably why. Anyway, I was wondering whether you guys use landing pages, if so how do you make them successful? I mean for clickbank products they are the most useless things. It is a lot better to redirect, but then i get these $10 clicks... Can people just give me an idea of what you are doing? pete
Well you need to make your landing page look like a website not a typical sales page with a single page, it should look like a website with at least four pages all inter linked and interconnected to each other like a real website. Google is only concerned about the end user i.e. the surfing experience of the visitor to your site, if google feels its not up to the standard they raise the bid to abnormally high prices, it means they are just telling you in a polite manner to “Make quality-landing pagesâ€.
Well Pete it is a new google term whereby only one affiliate will be allowed to post a direct link to a merchant website per search. In simple words if you want to post, a direct link to the merchant website you'll have to compete with other thousands of affiliates trying to do the same by raising your pay per click or else the only option you have is a "landing page".
you can always do the comparison shopping. IE: compare your sponsor to 4 other ones that are similar and load up the page with lots of keywords, your quality score should go up.
I also got slammed with $5 and $10 clicks. I'm going to fix up my landing pages to get the cost back down. But as I searched for my keywords, I see people using "low quality" landing pages. How is this possible?
if you want to do direct linking, then CLOAK your link. the sales letter should damn well be relevant, and you dont have to write jack. i do it all the time.
Yeah, I tried that but google somehow still found out. From what i could find adwords uses two different ips for crawling your site, is that what your code has? Can you maybe share your code with me? Pete
Let me tell you this .... put up your landing page at blogspot.com and you'll be fine. First, find some free related articles, let's say 10, and stick them up on your blog, shouldn't take longer than 30 minutes. Then put up your landing page as the latest post. Modify the blogger template to make it look as clean and undistracting as possible. Then point your google ads there. In your ad URL, just specify ... AffiliateProjectX.blogspot.com (example only) - ensure you had signed up using a related blogger user id in the first place. In the destination url, point to the specific permanent link of the blog post that is your landing page. Blogger let's you put tracking script and what not in their templates. Always works like a charm.
