This is a technique I personally used for promoting zip submit offers. I did this back in 2008 when Jamie Lynn Spears was rumored to be pregnant.

What are zip submit/email submit offers pay out about $1 per email or zip code.

The trick is to check out:
Twitter.com

and

trends.google.com

Check Twitter, and trends.google.com for rising trend of things in the news.

A trend that's growing right now would be the pope being knocked down video.

I first learned the concept of meshing these “current events” and zip submits from the owner of Copeac – Mike. The idea is to take advantage of a keyword that is likely getting a ton of searches with little competition. You filter this traffic to a landing page that is an online “poll”. Or at least it seems to be.

The landing page basically allows the user to vote on their “opinion” and win a fabulous prize such as a $500 Visa Gift card. No matter what they vote for they are taken to the exact same place – the affiliate offer. You landing page is designed to look exactly like the affiliate offer they are taken to and they feel comfortable to simply fill in their zip and keep clicking. Seamless integration should maximize your conversion rate and therefore profit.

A landing page:



Affiliate Offer:


Now the user enters their zip code and you get paid $1!

Now you want to use keywords.google.com to generate keywords relevant to your news article or topic.
And bid on content+search at less than $0.05 per click.

I probably should have made that bottom stripe the same color with the gradient… oh well. If you scroll down on my landing page you’ll see I posted the article that was on Yahoo… it’s way below the fold though so people don’t get distracted and actually do anything besides vote.
So I set up a PPC campaign with the following 4 main keywords:
oj
oj simpson
o.j.
o.j. simpson
In another column I made a list of all the other words I could possibly associate with the event. Things like: steal, robbery, las vegas, casino, sports memorabilia, heist, stolen, etc… Then, using the tool, I created a list of every combination of the 4 main keywords and the describing words. I copy and pasted into adwords with an ad group for regular, quotes and brackets and let it rip!

Now zip submits are ALL about the math. Here is what I figured:
-Pay .05 per click for Adwords traffic
-Convert minimum of 10% of these
-Earn $1.50 for each zip submit

Going by these numbers, suppose we are able to generate 1,000 clicks over the course of a day and we’ve spent $50 for this traffic. If 10% of these visitors actually fill out the zip submit that’s 100 leads. At $1.50 a lead that’s $150 revenue. That means we’ve made $100 profit a day…

Unfortunately, the math didn’t quite work out that way. I was playing with CPC amounts and instead of paying .05 per click I was paying .10 per click. By the time I realized this I had accrued 100 clicks for $10 and essentially broken even. I went back to change my CPC bids but the minimum had been raised to at LEAST 10 cents in some cases up to .50 cents and a dollar… I was simply priced out of a profit margin. The only way the campaign would be profitable would be to increase the conversion rate or decrease the CPC.

Increasing the conversion rate isn’t where the dough is here… the two pages match close enough. So how can I reduce my CPC? First of all my Quality Score probably sucks for a number of reasons. It’s a one page site – how about a privacy policy, terms & conditions, contact us and other bs pages to make it seem more official to google? That would certainly do some good. What about finding cheaper sources of traffic… I haven’t even TRIED Adcenter, Yahoo Search marketing or even 3rd tier engines. Using these sources would definitely lower CPC.

If you want the landing pages send me a PM, and I will help you out. I will only give away landing pages to the next 10 people to pm me.
