I had my fair share with VARIOUS ways to promote Clickbank products, ranging from PPC, Squidoo, Reviews, etc..etc...you name it. Recently i really, really started to like Wordpress with all its available plugins, and in particular certain autoposter modules. I had some blogs where i used AdSense optimized templates, but i was NEVER satisifed with my AdSense income. Then i found CBProAds which i think is *excellent*. What CBProAds does is, it not only provides CB contextual text-ads (text converts best usually) - but also banners and ads with covers and box shots. Look at http://www.bestdietsweb.com/?p=126 http://www.bestdietsweb.com Which is an example page which is 100% Clickbank Optimized, with a great template I fricking like this kind of blog! Now check http://www.bestdietsweb.com/?page_id=442 which is a page on my blog, that list also has been made with CBProAds. I started to make a nmber of blogs that way, powered by Caffeinated Content, as well as other plugins, now i started w/ Auto Poster module and i will try them all out. I also made several Niche blogs, same system, nice WP look, NICE content coming in from Caffeinated Content...and then optimized Ads all for ClickBank products related to the niche. (I am not related to CBProAds...in fact they have a free version where they insert their ID every once in a while..and the Pro version was only $29 for a half year!) It takes me not more than 15mins to set up one blog, spend a LITTLE more time creating the ads and inserting the code into templates, but i think its worth it. No spammy looking "made for adsense" JUNK site. I also have a student loan site, but on that one i only use adsense, so i will compare what will convert better. The student loan site gets pretty ok traffic already, the clickbank sites are still fairly new. G.
Is that site SEO optimized, the link http://www.bestdietsweb.com/?p=126 looks like a out of the box wordpress link? Pretty good idea though, have you been making any sales with them?
I too am interested in if you had made anysales. I have 5 self hosted wordpress sites now and am looking to better monetize them.
Wordpress is great, but only if its self-hosted. There is no point of making a blog with Wordpress themselves, because they can delete it anytime, stating some stupid reason like "seo blog" or "affiliate links", etc...
I don`t think using wordpress.com for affiliate sites is a good idea. It`s better to make Squidoo lenses
well i use "all in one seo pack"...but my URLs are still not rewritten? Is there a plugin to make SEO URLs for WP?
You can change that without any plugins. Just go to Settings > Permalinks. In the custom structure box type: %postname%
yeah of course, promotion (article marketing, bookmarking) comes after the site is up. a) make good site w/ ways to monetize, clickbank, Adsense, whatever. No garbage site. b) Once done, articles, bookmarking, squidoo lenses etc..etc..email campaigns maybe too. The usual.
Have you actually had any success with this sort of layout? I've found that using CB in this way (making it look like AdSense) has very poor results from personal experience.
what would you recommend, how would your ads look? I actually changed my design from "banners mostly" to more "text ads", the reason is that this was recommended by S.Wagenheim over at Warriors since "text ads convert better". You think banners would be better? G.
well i changed my diet site back to have more nicer "images"...eg. on my forex site i still have more text. I think it really depends on the audience. As for my WP blogs, they're still rather new and right now i am in the "promotion phase"...eg. people still writing articles and book marking for them
haha!! we all know this is your site (atleast you should have had different nickname in this forum), also affliate links are not allowed in this forum!
Wordpress Blogs can generate fantastic traffic but your current "Permalinks" setup is bad, change it to "/%postname%" in the Custom Structure box under Permalinks in Admin. My main blog gets 22,000 hits a day and makes great money. Nick
I bought an e-book called google sniper and I must say it is a great way to make money with clickbank I can't say it's the best because there is no way of knowing what is the best. I also think yahoo answers is a good way to earn through clickbank if done right.
