Pay Per Click Strategies For Affiliate Marketing

Pay Per Click (PPC) is one of the ways to boost your affiliate marketing efforts. However, most affiliate marketers have tried PPC, lost money, and decided it wasn't for them.

Using PPC properly can mean literally "money on demand" - if you do it "right". One of the most common mistakes marketers make is in not understanding their Google Adwords settings.

If you are going to use Pay Per Click, it's essential you understand where your money is going, and maintain control over the spending.

The second big issue is conversions. If your ads don't convert into affiliate sales, well then nothing else matters.

There is plenty of good information available to help you become proficient with Search Engine Marketing (SEM). Take the time to learn it, and it will pay dividends for your entire career.

Three Ways to Earn Money Through Affiliate Marketing


Affiliate Marketing is a revenue sharing endeavor between a website owner and an online merchant. The website owner will place advertisements on his websites to either help sell the merchant's products or to send potential customers to the merchant's website, all in exchange for a share of the profits.

There are three ways to earn money through affiliate marketing:

Pay Per Click — Every time a potential customer leaves the affiliate website by clicking on the link leading to the merchant's website, a certain amount of money is deposited in the affiliate's account.

Pay Per Sale — Every time a sale is made as a result of advertising on the affiliate's website, a percentage, or commission, is deposited into the affiliate's account.

Pay Per Lead — Every time a potential client registers at the merchant's website as a result of the advertisement on the affiliate's account, a previously determined amount is deposited into the affiliate's account.

Affiliate Marketing is one of the most easiest and effective opportunities online today!

A Keyword Map of the Whole Internet


The most important step to being successful in Affiliate Marketing is keyword research.

Good keyword research will get you qualified clicks and good SERPS placement. However, most people that use the 'traditional' keyword tools like Wordtracker or Overture end up targeting the same keyword list. The biggest challenge is finding the 'lateral' keyword phrases that may not be obvious, but are what a person is typing into the search engine.

I have found the 'Mother-of-All' keyword tools that finds the lateral keyword phrases.

The tool is KwMap "A Keyword Map of the Whole Internet". It follows Internet conversations and creates a DNA-like graphical map of keywords.
