PPC Trials

by musignr on September 5, 2008

I guess I’ve always been willing to take a gamble.

Over the last year and a half I’ve honed my skills at SEO and SEM and can rank pretty well pretty fast in organic search results for terms. I’ve promoted several types of affiliate offers and have found a few that sold well, well enough that at this time I do not have to work a 9-5 job. ;)

I recently moved to Los Angeles and have been talking to other affiliate marketers and the common topic of conversation with almost all of the was PPC.

“You’re mean you do natural SEO… really?

I quickly realized that PPC was working much better and MUCH faster for a lot of these guys and it makes sense.

When I promote offers via natural SEO it takes a while. I can get a brand new domain ranking pretty quickly and keep it there but dominating the giant keywords and getting the huge blast of traffic is still a long, hard process for me. I spend week setting sites up, creating content for them, writing articles, building backlink campaigns, etc.

The work normally pays off and I don’t think I’ve ever launched a site that didn’t pay for itself but the truth is IT’S A LOT OF WORK.

So over the past 2 days I built a relationship with a few affiliate networks and am using Hexatrack, Prosper 202 and a landing page to see what I can do with PPC.

Here are my stats so far:

  • The campaign launched this morning at 2:00am (I don’t sleep)
  • In 6 hours I maxed my budget
  • I spent $80
  • I made $27.75

So I lost $52.25 for the day but have high hopes for the campaign. I’ll keep you updated as to how things go.

If you’re interested in finding offers to promote via PPC I recommend the following:

  • Personal Affiliate Manager On Call Via phone, email or chat

  • High payouts
