As an affiliate marketer I do a TON of PPC advertising. For the longest time I pretty much stuck with google adwords as that is what I was familiar with. I also know how to work the adwords angles and get Lord & Taylor postions at Wal-Mart prices. The key is patience with your keywords and bid prices. There is a lot more to it, but that is not for this article. Well over the last 8-9 months I have branched out from using just adwords to using Yahoo Search Marketing , Bidvertiser , and just recently Amazon's Clickriver . Clickriver will be revamping their ad placements starting Jan 1 which they say will have an impact on available impressions. I'll have to see how that changes. What I really wanted to talk about in this article though is that in my opinion you can, in a lot of instances, make better profits with Yahoo search marketing. Now it is your turn to make the big bucks and put them in your own pocket. I am offering a new Yahoo Search Marketing Success kit to all of ...

If you have a great high converting affiliate program but don't have anyone to send it to it doesn't do you any good. Or if you send it to 1,000,000 people that aren't interested in the slightest that doesn't do you any good either. Having high quality sales leads is a great boost to an affiliate marketer. Here is a top 10 list of ways to boost your direct affiliate marketing campaign. This list is courtesy of Lead Dogs, where you get "marketing with more bite." Top 10 Ways to Boost Direct Marketing Results 1. Have an offer and don't hide it. Don't just put "Get your free CD" in the last paragraph of your brochure. Boring. Include a picture of the CD in a prominent location with your phone number and Web address. 2. Use telemarketing before the promotion to research, build, or clean up target account lists for improved results. 3. Use telemarketing after the promotion to ensure that your message is heard and ask for an opportunity to mee...

I know a lot of people that use just google or just yahoo when doing a search. This can limit your results as each engine tends to rank sites differently and therefore your results can vary greatly from one to the other. I know for me, since the google PR drop due to sponsored links, that now my pages rank much higher in yahoo than they used to and lower in google. No one search engine has a monopoly on the "best" results. EarthFrisk.Org is the worlds first hybrid meta-community search engine . I have to be honest I am just a bit leery on their social ranking procedure, but it has worked well for Digg and others who allow users to "digg" or "bury" sites and combining this with hybrid results of the top search engines will bring a nice balance to the results. I noticed right away that already the searches I did seem to have superior results by combining the very best of Ask, Google, Yahoo and MSN's Live! I did a search on google, yahoo, and ask and visi...

As we near the end of the year I am always looking for ways to lessen my tax burden. I hate giving the government money. I have a firm belief that I know MUCH better what to do with my money that any local, state, or federal government. The government does nothing efficient and certainly don't worry about profitability as most are convinced that the American taxpayer is their limitless ATM machine for all of their well intentioned program. I have always thought it funny that the US postal service can't make money but UPS, FEDEx, DHL, and many other regional and national parcel services continuously make a profit. Another good example is AmTrak. I know carrying people is different than cargo but I still find it ironic that AmTrak has never made money, ever, but there are tons of rail services that do. The federal government will never do things efficiently and almost NEVER end a program once it is started. Then they scare the American people into thinking someone wants to cut p...

As an online, and off, entrepreneur I like for my efforts to make money. That is the ultimate goal of any business right? Now if you have read much on this blog you also know that I love saving money. I like leveraging different methods together to get the best possible use of my money. Whether that is saving on a purchase or saving by putting money into an investment vehicle of some kind, to me it is all saving money. A penny saved is a penny earned type of thing. One area that I got involved about 6 years ago is Forex Trading . Forex is simply a currency trading market like the NYSE is for stocks. You buy or sell different currencies and obviously the goal like any investment is to make money. I started out with the free accounts you see advertised everywhere so that I could get used to the concept and get a feel for market. I did a lot of reading on the subject as well. After trying out a ton of strategies from a myriad of sources I found some things that worked for me. Once I ran t...

Having targeted, preferably double opt-in, email (and snailmail) addresses in my opinion is key to a successful email or direct mail marketing campaign. Having a great landing page, or other vehicle, that captures potential customers email, and mail, addresses is a must have tool for any affiliate marketer. Looking to do a mortgage lending campaign, you want addresses for people interested in a new mortgage or refinance. Wanting to run email ringtone campaign, you want cell phone owners, and probably a younger demographic. You don't want to be sending ringtone ads to older folks in their 70's that have never owned a cell. You can see the importance for screened and targeted lists. There are several ways to get such a list. You can build it yourself through a collection vehicle of some type such as a good landing page, a site newsletter, etc.. Or you can buy consumer mailing lists both email and snailmail targeted lists. I use both methods. I have several landing pages where pe...

Well in most opinions probably not but there are some advantages. If after all the Google pagerank issues of the past month you are still doing paid links and paid posting then let me point you to another good paid posting site. The site is Smorty. What Smorty stands for or means I have no idea. What Smorty is, is a paid posting site with a few added benefits over PayPerPost. So if you are looking for another revenue stream in your making money online ventures you might want to check out Smorty. My first impression of the user control panel and account management front end is that it is quite a bit less robust than that of PayPerPost. That being said, the opportunities available pay very well and there are a decent amount of them. There aren't as many as you might get from the big boy but enough to be a nice supplement to other paid posting sources. One advantage that Smorty has over PayPerPost is that they pay weekly. With PPP you have to wait about 30 days for payment for a post....

Have you seen that ad? I have seen that PPC ad on both Google and Yahoo. Honestly my first thought wasn't to click on it, but was what a dumba-- why would I want your advice. Maybe this is just me but after about say 20 at the most I would start to suspect that maybe It was me. There seems to a single common denominator in that math equation and that is you. Second thing that I thought was the guy should quite. Just give up. You obviously don't have a knack for this sorta thing. Now my third thought was that after being scammed that many times this guy is probably broke and is trying to recoup losses by trying his own scam. I mean heck he ought to know what works he fell for them 40 TIMES ! Reality though is that he probably has no clue. The point of all this was to get you to examine PPC ad headlines and how they can affect your campaign performance. More on this topic in a coming article. I also thought, if this guy is so gullible how can I sell him a few things? What is your...
