The Number 1 Way To Make Money Online

Your Name

Well, I just checked my Amazon.com account, guess what? I made $160 last month without doing anything and this month will be around $100 profit. Yeah, it is small change but I was thinking if I have 10 sites like this, it can generate nice extra money I can spend. Why Amazon.com? Because People trust amazon shopping cart.

SO, yes you can make money with Amazon.com. But you have to have Micro Niche. My site is about Power Tools and It works(converts) well with Brand Name Model Name KWs. It did not work well with just brand name alone.

Here is How I did,

Good Niche to Start.

Power Tools, Bicycles, Outdoor Gears

The idea with this adwords-clickbank method is to make it as simple as possible to make money promoting clickbank products on adwords. The simplest way to do this is through direct-linking, by using one’s hoplink in the display and destination URL of the adwords ad.

However, adwords has a “double-serving” rule, which says that only one ad per URL will be shown for each keyword. This means that if two affiliates have created ads targeted at the same keyword, only one of those ads will be shown (the one with the better QS or higher bid or both…I’m not sure).

To solve this problem, I was creating frame redirect pages to be stored on my own server. I would put my domain’s URL on the adwords ads, and use coding in on the frame redirect pages to automatically redirect the visitor to the merchant’s site.

The major problem with that approach is that both adwords, and clickbank (as some of you have pointed out to me recently), do not allow the use of frame redirects. Continuing to to do risks getting banned by both sites.

So a couple days ago I set out to find a better alternative to frame redirects. One of you in a post in the original thread suggested that I used a blank page with just “click here to go the website” as a link to the merchant’s page, to replace the frame redirect. I thought that was a very good idea (to me it was. I’m not a creative person!)

What I did was set up the landing page as described in the post above, including a little piece of code that, every time someone lands on this landing page, will record the visit in a log file. As a part of the test, I linked from the “>>Enter Website Click Here<<" text to a frame redirect (just for testing's sake - not for implementation - please see post above), which would redirect to the merchant's. On the frame redirect script I inserted the same piece of code that would record each click to another log file.

Sorry for being confusing... Essentially what I did was record the number of landing page impressions in one file, and the number of click throughs in another file.

I did this for the best campaign I have, for the adgroup that was getting the most traffic. Almost two days later, here are the results: 1019 impression and 910 clickthroughs, meaning 89.3% of the people that saw the landing page, 89.3% of the people clicked through to the merchant's.

Granted, I know I wouldn't be getting the same amount of traffic or sales as I would otherwise get with a frame redirect. But at least with this simple landing page I'd be able to sleep at night without dreaming about receiving the dreaded "your account is shut down because you've been bad" notifications from adwords and clickbank...

I've also done a simple analysis of how this change could impact on my profits....will post that later. Gotta go get some work done

_______________________________________________
1)Pick a Clickbank Product:

I personally tend to stay away from the following types of products:

-Internet marketing – too much competition unless you put together a kick-ass landing page and give away bonuses (read: bribe) that are relevant to the particular product (or use other advanced tactics)

-Tattoo design products – extremely low conversion and fierce adwords competition. I once promoted “tattoo chopper” and lost close to $200 in the first few hours after I started my campaign.

-Gambling type products – blackjack, texas holdem, betfair, sports betting, etc. Gambling related adwords ads will be found and stopped by adwords staff sooner or later – they don’t allow it.

-Anything involving a well-known trademark, such as “World of Warcraft” guides, or anything to do with “Ipods”. Those will be stopped by adwords staff.

I also check the following:

-That the sales page (or the squeeze page – whichever page the visitor first lands on, on the merchant’s site) doesn’t have a pop-up; it’s against adword’s TOS. I’ve had more than a few campaigns stopped because of this.

-That the product has a low refund rate – which is, to me, anything below 10%, because I don’t want to promote something that I know won’t help people, and not to mention will hurt my bottom line. A good way to judge customer satisfaction with a product is by looking at the refund rate, which can be calculated as follows:

refund rate % =100*(1-(A/((B-B*0.075-1)*C/100)))

where A=$/sale, B=Product Price, and C=%/sale

-Preferably, the merchant has an opt-in form to capture the visitor’s email. The subsequent sale made through follow-up emails would still be credited to the me, since their computer will contain a cookie with my ID for the next 60 days. (Sorry for having said otherwise in my original post on this method.)

-That the product has a high $/sale – this allows me to bid higher and be more competitive in adwords without losing money. I generally won’t consider anything with a $/sale of below $20 (unless I think the product is in demand, and the competition is small).

-That the merchant’s sales page doesn’t contain any “leakage”, i.e. outbound links from which your visitor can “escape” from the sales page (for example, links to other products for which you won’t get any commissions if they buy).

-Preferably, the merchant doesn’t offer other methods of payment (if the visitor orders by mail or cheque, I won’t get the commission).

I usually pick around 30 products first, then look over them again with a more critical eye and get the list down to 25 (the limit for the number of campaigns on a single adwords account). Then I’d move onto the next step.

2)Collect Keywords for the Clickbank Products

-I first browse the merchant’s sales page to collect relevant keywords, which I call “seed” keywords (e.g. for a dog training product, I may write down these keywords: “dog potty training”, “dog house training”, “stop dog peeing”, “stop dog scratching furniture”, etc. etc.

-Then I go to the Google Adwords Tool, type in the seed keywords (making sure to have the “use synonyms” box checked), and browse the resulting keywords. For keywords I know are likely to convert, I click “Add” to add it to my main keyword list. For each keyword I see I’d ask myself “if I were a visitor typing in this particular keyword phrase, would I possibly be interested in this product?” I’m selective in my choice of keywords – better safe than sorry, as I don’t want to waste adwords clicks on keywords that may not convert. If in doubt I don’t include the keyword that will probably waste me money, because I know there’d be no shortage of products, so I wouldn’t have to squeeze every sale out of every product.

-Because I make sure to include synonyms in my search, the keyword results will include related keywords that I hadn’t thought of before, when I was gathering “seed” keywords. I would “dig” into those related keywords by typing them into the search box to return even more keywords.

-I try to come up with keywords I could “tag onto” my seed keywords – for example, if the product was the solution for a kind of health condition, for example arthritis, I would do searches on “arthritis treatment, “arthritis cure”, “arthritis remedies”, “arthritis medications”, “arthritis medicine”, etc.

-While building my keyword list, I also make a note of words that are completely irrelevant to my product. For example, say I was promoting a product that taught women how to make their husbands love them again, and the google keyword tool results included “make my man love me again lyrics”, I would make note of the word “lyrics” so I could put that as a “negative keyword” for my adwords campaign later.

-Finally, when I run out of keyword ideas to type into the tool, I export the whole keyword list into a text file

3)Separate the Main Keyword List into Adgroups

I usually just use an excel worksheet to organize my keywords into adgroups (if the keyword list is too large I use Keyword Companion to do the sorting). I separate them by common words. Going back to the dog training example, I may end up with the adgroups “stop dog barking”, “dog housebreaking”, “dog potty training” etc., where all the keywords in each adgroup would contain the common words [adgroup name]. For example, in the “dog housebreaking” adgroup I may include the keywords:
House break a dog
House breaking dog
Housebreaking dogs
How to housebreak a dog

4)Write the Adwords Ad for Each Adgroup

The following is what I do to consistently achieve high CTRs for my ads. Continuing with the dog training product example, say for the adgroup “dog housebreaking”, I may write an ad that looks like this:

Housebreaking Your Dog?
Only 7 days to housebreak your dog!
Learn how to housebreak a dog.
Dog-Housebreaking.domain.com

For the headline and 2nd description line, I try to stuff as many common keywords (of the particular adgroup) as I could into them to catch the surfer’s eye. As you know, the keywords that the surfer types into google’s search box will appear in bold in your adwords ad. I do the same thing to the display URL, which many people don’t bother to do. I register a domain with a very short name – for example 1best1.com – and set up unlimited subdomains on that one domain. So in my example I would name my subdomain “dog-housebreaking” so that they would appear in bold to catch the surfer’s attention. With all the bolded words in the headline, 2nd description and display URL, many surfers will look at my ad. I read somewhere that most people will only read the headline and 1st description, so in the 1st description line I try to stress a benefit. I simply go through the headline and 1st paragraph of the merchant’s sales letter to find the most impressive point I can. If all else fails, you can always just say “100% guaranteed or your money back!”, since clickbank has a refund guarantee for all products. Using this simple method I’ve almost always been able to start off an ad with an above 1% CTR, which gives me a good headstart in ad ranking and keeps my bids low.

As for regional targeting, I don’t really do much with that – I probably should. I mostly just target the English-Speaking Countries – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom, and United States. Some products are only useful to US residents, e.g. setting up a business in the US, so it’s important to consider this on a product by product basis.

I usual set my starting bids low at the beginning, usually at 1/100 of the sales commission or less. I also set my daily budget to $20/day to start. When I first started doing adwords I was setting the daily budget to $100, but several run-away campaigns and several hundreds of lost adspend later, I learned better.

Tip: I find that it’s easier to first load my campaigns into the Adwords Editor (free download from google) and then upload them to my adwords account.

REVISION: STEP 5 BELOW WAS ORIGINALLY “WRITE THE FRAME REDIRECT SCRIPT”, THIS HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH…

5)Construct a Dead Simple Landing Page

Note: In my original thread on the 10k/Month Clickbank Method, I talked about using frame redirect scripts to direct the visitor from adwords ads directly to the merchant’s site. The major flaw with this method is that it’s against the TOS of both adwords and (as I was later told) clickbank. One of you, in your response to my post, inspired the alternative method below.

Simply construct a landing page that has nothing but a box in the middle, and text in the box that says “>>Enter Site Click Here<<".

Simple eh? A few things to note about the "landing page":
-put in a title with some main keywords for your product - good for QS
-where I have "6699cc", this is the background color. By changing this color to match that on the merchant's site, you'll create a more consistent experience for the visitor
-edit the hoplink
-insert the main keyword list of the product at the end. The visitor will never scroll down that far, but adwords will (=good for QS)
-add links to a TOS and Privacy Statement. You only have to do this once and use the same pages for all your campaigns. This is reportedly good for QS also.

6)Create Subdomains

Remember I used “Dog-Housebreaking.domain.com” as my display URL? Now I will create the subdomain (via cpanel or using a subdomain creator script), put the landing page code above into a text file, name it “index.php”, and put it into the “dog-housebreaking” subdomain folder.

To create a large number of subdomains on autopilot, download the free Subdomains Creator at http://tinyurl.com/2aj57z. I usually wait until I've done all previous 5 steps above for the batch of 25 products, then load all the subdomain names onto my server and run the script.

OPTIONAL BY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED: Use Xtreme Conversions to Track Your Campaigns

I strongly suggest that you use xtreme conversions to track your campaigns. If you do use it, all you need to do is to insert a couple pieces of code into the landing page code above. In my free ebook I will explain in detail how I tweak my campaigns using Xtreme Conversions.

As you can see, this is no get rich quick method – a lot of work is involved. The beauty of this method is that it’s so simple to implement. The flip side is that you’ll have to go through lots and lots of products to find a few that are profitable – that’s the case for me anyway. If you’re an adwords expert you’ll most probably do better than me. Usually, I set up campaigns for 25 products at one time. Of each batch of 25 products I may end up keeping anywhere from 3-8 that turned out to be profitable, and stop the rest. This is why tracking is so important – you need to know exactly which keywords in which adgroups are making you money so you’d know which adgroups / keywords / campaigns to keep and which to turn off.

Phase 2:
This method is really only Phrase 1 of a larger scheme. Once you've identified profitable campaigns, you'll want to replace your landing pages with squeeze pages, then still send the visitor to the merchant's page after they opt-in, and then follow up with autoresponder messages to sell that product plus other backend products. I think of this stage as Phase 2. This is the stage I'm at right now.

Phase 3 and Beyond:
If a niche does really well, I may even go one step further and set up white hat sites for the specific niches, using those keywords in my adwords campaigns that have bee making the most sales (write an article for each keyword etc.). I may even develop my own products to sell to my list and then put it on clickbank too, and also other affiliate networks.

There....not rocket science. None of what I'm doing or planning to do is new. It's just a straight forward method that will get you results.

I'm writing a free ebook that will explain the above procedure in much greater detail. If you'd like to be notified when the ebook is ready, please sign up at the link in my sig.

I am planning to build site for long term instead of build simple landing page. Like title said, it will be article and forum based but I like to have product information, unique quality contents that actually people can read and learn.

I choose Weight Loss niche and RocketProfit has several good programs that has good payout($47-$52 per referral). Weight Loss is hot niche that will never goes down but market will grow every year. I will start with South Beach Diet Plan Membership site which provides good free info, free signup but need to pay about $20 per month(They using $5 per week – Good selling point) and every member sign up for monthly membership, I will get $52. RocketProfit has more programs like this therefore, later on we can expand my online diet plan web site with more information. This is another reason that weight loss industry is great, so many products to promote and payout is great..only negative is many competitors. But it will not stopping me to make more money online.

Now, here is steps and broad plans for South Beach Diet Plan.

First step is Register One or Two Domains, trying to get close to South Beach Diet in it. You do not have to register like that but it helps on SERP. Someone might said it is not but from my experience, it helps little…little is better than nothing.

After, register domains, I will setup web site using CMS – I like to use either Joomla, Drupal. It is easy to setup, free templates, and many plug-ins and several bridges for commercial and free Forum softwares available for free or small fees. For forum, I will go with MYBB because it is free, simple and easy to upgrade to vBulletin Later on.

You need to spend little bit of time to plan your web site because it might be grow bigger than you thought, so good foundation is very important because it will be make your job very easy when you trying to upgrade, convert it to other platform, etc.

While I Setup the Site, I will hire ghost writers(since I am not a good writer and no time) to write about South Beach Diet, Recipes, howtos. 10 articles each section will be good start. Also, I will hire forum poster service to start forums to fill.

Keyword for articles should be South Beach Diet, South Beach Diet Recipes, SouthBeach Diet. South Beach Diet related Keywords are limited but competitions are not as many as than other diet, weight loss keywords and good amount of search therefore, it is good niche to get in.

After I setup complete site with initial contents and some forum activities, I will looking for free ebooks to give out. You can find some good ebooks to give out in eBay. There is South Beach Diet ebooks and several other diet ebooks available.
I will using Free eBook to make visitor to signup forums(email list), so they can download it. You should add South Beach Program links in PDF eBook using openOffice.

Using South Beach banner and text link within articles and forum header, etc to visitors to click so I could earn money. Nicely layout with banner, text links within articles should works great. Also make sure South Beach Diet Program Page to introduce what program does, etc(acting more like landing page).

Now site is ready for public. It is marketing time. There is many ways to promote web site, but first several weeks, I will use PPC and build backlinks since site is brand new and no traffic.

1. First thing is first, I will hire from DP to submit my site to 500 directories which it should cost me not more than $30.

2. I will hire stumbleupon and social network submit service for each articles and main site, so I could bring some initial traffics to the site. This kind service is very cheap these days.

3. I will submit articles to ezinearticles and several major article directories – need to change little bit on articles so you will not penalized for duplicate contents.

So this is for initial backlinks build plan, now it is time to test with PPC.

1. I am using KeywordTracker, KeywordSpy, and KeyCompete to come up with around 500 Keywords relate to “South Beach Diet”. Ads will rotate with 2 version. One with Free eBook offer and other one with General Ad copy.

2. Now, it is time to think out side of box because weight loss market is saturated and many competitions. Therefore, we need to come up with out side box of Weight Loss. You can write about like better healthy life for over 50s, 60s. How to eat healthy, quick workout, etc. Also, we could get some keywords on quick workout in office, quick workout while you working, etc. There is many niches that relate to our daily activities that everyone do, we will build keyword list one by one.

Key tactic here is, TEST, TEST, and more TEST until it works. I also like big volume of traffic tactic as well. If I could bring traffics less than $.05 per click within health related keywords, that will be great(Usually Adwords content networks will do the job). Also, Test with Adwords CPM with pay per click which can bring good targeted traffic.

3. after come up with keywords by groups(Organization is key here), I will setup Adwords, Google Search Only and Contents only as well as in Yahoo Marketing(only search). Make sure your campaign is passing keywords so you can track it. Tracking is one of big key to success.

At this point, site will get some traffics and conversion. Watch it for a week and start tweaking keywords, research more keywords, and delete keyword which did not bring any traffic or conversion. Don’t forget about write more contents about 1-3 articles per week.

Instead of sending all PPC traffics to home page, send traffics to product review landing page or other pages that attract clicks to South Beach Diet Program.

My final step is run contest such as article writing, referal, etc whatever can add to the site to win free prize <- Free 3 Month membership to South Beach Diet Program and make winner to write some good reviews. People Love Review and Potential Buyers follow Reviews! and Entry for Grand Prize(like Threadmill) every 6 month or year to attract more visitors. It is time for little PR about Site and Contest and hope some of reporters like your site and write about it.

I want to create some video and test. You can hire someone who can create little video about how to make South Beach Diet Food and promote site through out major video sharing site such as youtube, google, aol. Video content is great traffic generator and easier to hit in Digg Front page. Many social networking traffics are not converting but for brand new site, any traffic will be helpful.(try automated and outsource if it is possible. Good Project Management is the key here)

After all my initial plan is done, now it is time to add more weight loss programs, products into site following same step. First Phase should be complete within 1 month and around $200(without PPC cost) and Start see some conversion.

If you see some revenue is coming in, it is good time to tweak it little bit more to bring it to next level. Site should provide great experience to visitors and first time visitor should coming back for more infomation. Now forums can be convert it to great social networking section and can bring tons of organic traffics but it takes time and some works.

Well, it is not normal way to start doing affiliate campaign and it involves lot of work but I want to create complete site which can grow and expand. Let me know if you have other idea I can implement on this case study.

I am sure many of webmasters heard about TNX.net. They are new text link service provider similar to text-link-ads.com but their business approach is little different. Acutually, TNX approach is adding lots of low PR links instead of buying one or two High PR like other Text Link Brokers do. At first, it is kinda confuse but after browse around little bit, their concept is pretty unique.

They are running promotions that you will get free 20,000 points(basic price is $1.46 per 1000 so it is like free $30 or 5000 PR0 backlinks).

I am trying TNX with one of my site which has 237,015 backlinks and is ranked 13th on Keyword I am targeting. My TNX Campaign got approved and already used up all 20,000 points and stat said 107 links active. I choose PR0-PR7, that is why 107 links instead of 5000 PR0 links. PR7 Links usually goes for 20000-60000 points but Quality of the link? I don;t know yet.

I will post my TNX experience with week or so with result.

Is this safe with Google? Well, Google is really go after buying and selling links so there is some risk. All you can do is buy or sell link with very similar topic. TNX said Matt actually manually remove from Google PR and SERP. TNX is rejecting googlebot as revenge(?).. So what is the difference between selling text links and put contextual ads? I know Google policy said You can not build web site just for PR, SERP, etc but it is penalizing many good sites are not right.

Anyway, Try TNX.net to buy or sell some links if you have lot of low PR which you can not sell anything on other Text Link Brokers.

If you don’t have one, you could apply here.

I think someone who is in lowend job doesn’t like me since last 2 weeks..They send me an email about my sites(auto feed Blog and auto feed Video site) which is not good enough for adsense. At least I used custom templates, no spamming, and I see many sites worst than mine..heck..

Google is cutting affiliate program payouts, changed adsense format so their revenue is down(plentyoffish.com said after new adsense, their earning went down to 60%) meaning Google is feeling growing pain now..

I am depressing kinda because it was my main source of income, I am still learning about PPC..now I need to work fast so I could pay my mortgages. Shit, it is not end of the world but my $6k-$4k monthly income is gone..it is pain..I might apply as a LLC again but need to plan to create new income stream.
