Wow thats great man. Your doing pretty good. I wish I could make that much, but I know that I couldnt put as much effort and time into things like you have on this. Good job, and shows off what hardwork and persistance does.
you have to work hard, also as he said he statistics, follow a unique instruction also don't afraid to invest some cash to get big bucks.
You could probably make more money than this if you used our Gateway on your PPC landing page... Think about it, what content could you advertise that people would fill out a survey to view? There are millions of possibilities. So what if you pay 5 cents per view, we payout $1 for each survey your visitor's complete.
Wow just read all 28 pages... It would be cool to find out how you are doing now? Managed to break any new records Congratz on the success, I'm still to hit the $500/day - I think my best day was around $350 with about half profit.
It's been a while since I posted in this thread. I've been pretty busy lately. I've actually been doing a lot less PPC and focusing a LOT on SEO. My profits are WAY higher in SEO. I haven't made over $4k yet on SEO, but today is my biggest SEO day to date so far. I will most likely break $4500 today in SEO profits. I am just over $3600 at the time of the post. I now have much higher goals than before. My new goal is to break $10k in a single day by New Years. It will be tough, but I think I can do it. I haven't been doing much on Azoogle lately, but plan on starting some sites for some Azoogle offers. They've always been good to me. Also, I work a lot less now. I used to pull 16 hour days a lot, but now I do around 5-6 hours per day. Some days I get to work an hour or so and go do whatever I want. Gotta love SEM!!! Well, off to work, just thought I would give a quick update.
All the money made with SEO are profit. You need quality website, updated all the time and you need many good backlinks. This is basic SEO, but you can find a lot more info if you use the search box.
Just curious but how do you optimize CPA campaigns for SEO? Is your traffic still going to landing pages? How does that work out?
Different CPA offers. You can find these by joining affiliate networks which connects you with the merchant that you want to promote. Azoogle, Primary, Hydra, Clickbooth, MaxBounty, SharkAdNetwork.........etc.
Congratz on the success and having more time to yourself, was a good inspirational thread - you have given me the motivation to push myself in the short term to benefit from the long term I was thinking of create a mini site (at first) about a niche, building content daily/weekly relevant to the topic and using PPC to drive the initial traffic and hopefully build up backlinks in the process to get good SEO performance. Would this be the proper way to bulid a authority site?
There are many ways to build an authority site. The way you listed has worked fine for me in the past. Sometimes I use a very small budget on PPC($50 per day) when I first start a site to see how conversions are gonna work out and which KWs have the best performance. After the site starts getting ranked, I drop the PPC campaign. I really can't get into full detail of my process, but if you use Adwords PPC as a research step and not worry to much about profiting from the small budget, you can find what KWs are good to build your links upon. Sorry you feel that way, but I'm not out to convince anyone. I'm happy with what I make and still live a simple life. I drive a nice car, but still wear my rock tshirts and jeans and go watch metal bands play on the weekends when I have time. I think the only thing that has changed about me since I've been making very good money is my car and guitar equipment. I help my family whenever I can. I gave my mom a good car last Christmas, I help my father each week with a small deposit into his bank account, and hired my friend to work in my office so he could leave his landscaping job that paid him $5.83 per hour if you broke down the amount of hours he worked. No one should do manual labor like that and be taken advantage of. But like I said before, I have nothing to prove. I do good for myself, I have a great fiance, and I stay simple and give back. I understand where you are coming from though. 90% or more of these kind of stories are most likely made up. Mine is real and hope it inspires some people to push hard.
Thanks for the feedback, I've been using a campaign in a similar niche so I have a basic understanding of what to target - the PPC will just help drive traffic and hopefully conversions while SEO picks up then I can take it from there.
SO you use authority sites to rank for terms? Interesting. What I'm trying to figure out is is this money for CPA networks or elsewhere.
You must have the magic touch Trypp. I use Azoogle and the free reg dating sites are mostly paying like $2 not $4. Keywords are not cheap in the OD niche either; hard to find many relevant KWs under $1.50 and many are $2 plus, so unless you have like a 100% conversion rate I guess its hard to imagine how you can get 2:1 ROI in the OD niche these days. Maybe I'm missing something but after looking at this super LOOOoooonnnnggg thread I'm still stumped as to how anybody could make 2:1 in this niche on PPC clicks. Sorry to be the doubter but the math just doesn't add up for me.
