Great CPA Networks And Excellent Service
Today is an exciting day for me. Woke up and found that I got approved by Maxbounty, PepperJam and Hydranetwork. It’s really easy that all these networks use AIM and can be contacted easily. I submitted in the applications and added their AIM handlers. They responded quick and friendly, asked a few questions and if you answered it with satisfactory results, they approve you right away! Instead of waiting, giving them a call or sending them a message does speed things up a lot.
So, I decided to give Market Leverage another call today and to my dismay, they don’t answer calls (leave you on the voicemail) and they don’t answer my mails.
Folks over at Maxbounty and Hydra are extremely helpful and keen to get you started. I’m very pleased the way they handle their job and looking after the affiliates. Image is everything, isn’t it?
LATEST UPDATE : Dina over at MarketLeverage left a post explaining the situation. Now, thats much better isn’t it? Thank you Dina!
Marketleverage.com Denied My Application! MarketLeverage Reviewed…To be Updated…
Just got a mail about an hour ago or so and it’s from MarketLeverage. Not too exciting after reading that my application was denied.
“Thank you for your recent publisher application with MarketLeverage.
Our affiliate network approves only a small percentage of the applications received. After taking into consideration the information which you provided us, we believe that your website or business model will not be compatible with our advertisers’ offers or our network’s terms & conditions. Regretfully, we have denied your application.
If you believe that your publisher application has been mistakenly denied, then we encourage you to submit further information about your online business to our Publisher Qualification Manager, Erick Bright, for consideration. “
Well, what can I say? I was recommended by so many that they are one of the best in this business but they didn’t even try giving me a call before rejecting my application. In return, I called up Erick Bright who is not at his desk and so I left a voicemail. I called up some of my CPA friends immediately and they suggested that I speak to the manager. I even contacted John Chow to seek his advice. Let’s see if they call back and will keep updating this post.
Setting Up PPC ->CPA Campaigns For Beginners Made Easy
Let’s say that you have been accepted into the CPA networks. Now, what’s next? Where should you proceed and what steps should you take?
I’m going to break it down into several parts for better understanding. Since I’m implementing the PPC approach towards my campaigns, these applies only if you are going to take the same approach. BE WARNED that without, proper keyword research, relevancy, highly optimized landing pages and adcopy plus overall good Quality Score. Otherwise, Google is going to penalize you and prepare to pay sky-high prices for your keywords.
1) Go to your CPA networks and look for the best campaigns that you can find to promote via means of PPC (Highest paying campaigns doesn’t mean its the best, lookout for current trends and choose the best ones)
2) Research your competition thoroughly
3) Research keywords –> IMPORTANT
4) Create several highly optimized landing pages for split testing purposes
5) Keywords ads grouping and prepare for split testing between different ad groups
6) Export Keywords Groups into Adwords Editor
7) Launch campaigns and monitor campaigns and costs!
8 ) Tweak and take away non-performing keywords and tweak more to improve results.
As always, I will provide a video on explaining landing pages.
These are VERY basic tips and you should do more research on each of the stuff I mentioned aboved and tuned it to perfection. Getting a course on PPC is highly recommended before you launch your first campaign. The best keyword tool I would recommend is Google’s very own keyword tool itself.
