The making of a $73,000/year affiliate - You want to read this

I hope you have some really stinky cheese.

I am looking at every 4 weeks. I will not release them to you all unless they convert.

For example, I already have the second product listed on clickbank but I am not getting very good conversion rates. I am the only product in that niche on clickbank but it is just not converting.

I am feverishly working on the 3rd product. I have almost completed the product and will start on the site soon. The finished product will hopefully be listed and tested within the next 10 days.

I am only using ppc. I just do not have time to use bum marketing due to the time investment.

 

Just to say "Today I get a first sale". Thanks for Dom.

 

How were you driving traffic?

I was moving some decent PPC traffic, but I killed it as it was only converting 1 out of every 100 hops or so.

 

Congrats.

Are you direct linking? Like I said earlier, I only converted at 1 in 100 when I direct linked. However, through landing pages it is converting much better.

Gravity is up to a 7. The most consistent affiliate is converting at about 1 in 40. Some others are at around 1 in 25.

If you are converting at less than 1 in 50, I would look at your landing page.

 

What is better? Landing page with single product recommendation or with a comparison between three or more products?

 

It depends on the product.

In my test, personal problem niches like eczema cure sells better with a personal recommendation. So just one product. they have a problem and want a solution.


When buying a "product" product, people want to compare. niches like forex, dog training, making money, energy, etc. fall into this category.

These are based on my personal experiences and results.

 

Dom,
I'm having a hard time triggering adviews for your product.
Campaign is online for 2 hours now and i'm only at 14 adviews so far...

Although my landing page quality score is set to "good" for 90% of the keywords you gave.

What's your default CPC like? Maybe i'll have to increase my current default CPC...

 

Do you have the content network turned on?

 

Just wanted to give a quick update. I have just added 4 bonuses to the sales page. I have not tested with the bonuses but believe it will raise conversion rates.

 

^^^ Nice ^^^

 

Hey Dom, maybe it's my luck that just 25 hops with direct linking and I got a sale. As you suggested for LP, do you have any template or recommended page for us?

 

I just want to make sure I'm reading this correctly. If I am wrong please be kind in correcting my error!

If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that if I have 100 PPC clicks sent through a landing page before they go to the sales page link that I "might" see 2-4 sales. whereas if I send them directly I "might" make 1 sale.

Or are you saying that for every 25-50 visitors to the sales page that come from a landing page you "might" make a sale.

Note: I use the word "might" because I know you cannot "guarantee" a conversion rate.

 

I can only see the number of hops an affiliate sends. I have no idea how many ppc clicks they had.

As always, quality of traffic and quality of landing page will increase or decrease conversions.

the worst affiliate conversion today for an affiliate with a sale was 1 in 49 and the best was 1 in 25.

 

I would like to know this also about the landing page.

 

Sorry, but could you please explain this? Thanks.

 

So Dom, how are conversions like these days?
I sent around 100 ppc clicks by now but until today no sales yet...

 

There are a group of affiliates that are seeing anywhere from 1 in 25 conversion up to about 1 in 50. I am still converting at around 1 in 35.

 

Must be a problem with my landing page then
Care to PM me a few secrets?

 

Adwords has 2 choices for promote. Most people know for search network as we will see ads in right side of google search but there's another type of ads that almost publisher love it as known as content network. Your ads will be displayed on site with relative content.

 

Thanks RahXephon...found it.

One more question; Anyone know what a starting price for bidding is? .25? .50? $1.00?
