First Off, sorry for being so harsh in my last posting, Thank you all for pointing that out so I changed it, I have a clickbank account and getting good hits advertizing through Google Adword, I looking for advice about some really good clickbank conversion products. also any ideas getting good targeted trafiic? Already have my site up and running to the niche I have chosen.
Not trying to be rude but I have watched some of your posts and you are completely of the track and you should stop posting this non-sense here.. Seriously visit this link ~~> http://www.nimh.nih.gov/index.shtml Al.
Hmm...that's kind of mean but in a funny way. Sober4life could be a alcoholic in the past just now finally starting to pick up his life. Who knows? Plus, Sober, looks like you're also approaching this from a gambling perspective (spending money in Adwords and hoping you will hit the jackpot). You were addicted to beer, let's not try be addicted to gambling, ok? Sober, when you're becoming an affiliate you act like a middle-entity sales person. The more you help a merchant/vendor promote their product, sending traffic to them, and so on, the more you'll be compensated. It's a pay per performance type of mindset. If you really want to quit your day job, you have to think that way. It sounds like you're really eager to actually start making money without even understanding the basic. Plus, you're using Adwords so quick means you're really eager to lose without knowing what you're doing. Adwords is a form of promotion - but paid (you gotta know if the benefit exceeds the cost). If you don't know what you're doing, you can even lose more money, thus forcing you to stay at your job. For newbies, why not start with free methods, then once you make some money, reinvest the profit in Adwords to make more money? Free methods are like posting your links in blogs, free classify, and social networking sites. Go here for a start http://www.superaffiliatetrainer.com/center/lessons.htm (not an affiliate link).
Wow, what's with the harshness?! I don't see the problem starting with Adwords. You need to know what you're doing, of course, but there's no need to avoid it just because you're new. If you got the budget (which even $100 could give you a few sales and email addresses if you build an effective lander, and you can get a coupon for $10 right here on digital point or for free elsewhere) then you should give it a whirl if you understand it. Anyway, on topic, the amount of links only matters if you're getting links from targeted sources. Posting your affiliate (or vendor) link on a million of your Myspace/Facebook pals' pages won't do much good because it's not targeted to- looking at your post history- quitting drinking and getting sober. Find forums about those topics and sign up and post your affiliate (or vendor) link there. Or, even better, find a nice, long tail keyword that people in your niche would be searching for, preferrably ones that are really buyer centric, and then create a small website targeting that keyword specifically. For example, according to the Google Keyword Tool the key term "quit drinking on your own" gets a decent amount of searches per month (phrase match is 500), and the cost per click is only .05. So for $100 you could get 2000 targeted visitors to your site, and probably a good percentage of those would click on your link. Build a really strong site targeting that keyword and you may even rank on your site's own merits (put the keyphrase "quit drinking on your own" in a few post titles, the domain, and sprinkle it through five or six articles). Add an opt in form so you can collect email addresses and you've really got yourself a great set up. I wouldn't think about trying to quit your day job until- at the least- making your first sale. But it's very possible if you follow a strategy and pound away at it day after day. There are plenty on here; I don't confess to the one above being anything special, but it's worked for me so far. Hope this helped a little, and good luck to you.
Thank you for the great tips, If I sounded harsh that was not my intentm, sorry about that I did not want to come off that way. I will look into your suggestions, Again Thank you very much
Webtester, Thank you very much for the kiind words and yes you are correct I am an alcoholic that is starting to pick my life back up, I'm 129 day sober today and my site is didicated to help other like myself, the link you supplied I see will be very helpful. I regard to the adword I have already getting some pretty good conversion rate with the product that I have there that has to deal with my illness, I'm not looking to quit my anytime soon but that is one of my goals for the future and with the tools and advice I'm getting here and other forums has been priceless. I do understand the affiliate programs but in the past I never had the drive like I do now and cause of not drinking I do have extra money for the advertizing but I do put my family first, budget of 100 a month now. Again, Thank you for your great advice
