A Few Great Affiliate Posts You will want to read

1. Profiting With Facebook 101
Great writeup for newbs looking for a little insight into getting started with Facebook advertising.

2. What you can learn from the late great Billy Mays
Several good nuggets in the article, including choosing the right product, solving a problem, and making the pitch sell!

3. Using Twittoratti to do trend research
I point out this post because you shouldn’t just rely on google, yahoo, bing for your trend research but think outside the box for your research as some tools you have never heard of can bring you some great insight.

4. Ways to Reduce Unsubscribers
I pointed out this article only because i would recommend you not do this. In all honesty i would much rather make my unsubscribe upfront and in there face because them unsubscribing from the newsletter is 10xs better than them hitting the spam button. So my reason for pointing this out is, do the opposite make sure people can find it easily how to unsubscribe.

PPC Management

10 People Speaking Their Mind - Put In Your Two Cents!

Posted on July 6, 2009 in Affiliate Tips  

PPC Management is one of the things i spend most of my time on. Why? Because it can make a huge difference on my bottom line. PPC Management for me is a 3 step process once the campaigns are up and running.

3 Step PPC Management:
1. If a keyword isn’t profiting – why? Is it being pulled into off topic searches because of broad match? If Yes i put it on Exact match then see how it performs or put in negative words to narrow it down. Do i need to add more keywords, have i gotten both short and long tails covered?

2. Bid management – Am i maximizing my profit. notice i didn’t say revenue as it isn’t a game of revenue but profit. If i increase bids does my profit increase? Sometimes there are cycles of new advertisers and you just have to ride those out, especially on campaigns i have dialed in.

3. Ad Management – Have i tested any new ads lately if i haven’t i would throw in a couple new ads just to see how they perform you never know… even try some goofy things you will be surprised what works sometimes. If ads are under performing pause those and let the ones performing well continue.

Those the 3 main steps i use in my PPC Management. this if for the management of my ppc not the startup of it. and doesn’t take into account landing page management cause if your page sucks you are out of the game anyways. I hope this post helps you increase your ROI in PPC.
