Since I joined a few affiliate networks in the UK I have been very busy. This is a great market with lots of potential. The first step is to get a UK domain if you want UK traffic. The domain for my fist site cost about $22.00 at GoDaddy for 2 years. This is a lot more then I pay for .com or .info domains, but I think it will be more professional with my UK visitors to see a .co.uk domain. There is also an issue of trust most users rather see a domain in their native countries extension. The hosting is kept with GoDaddy so no extra expenses there. Once I get my site ready I will start a PPC campaign targeting only the UK. There are some smaller PPC networks that I am looking into. If any thing it is a lot of fun to create a campaign for a new market. You never know how your offers will do, but even if you get one sale it will feel great. Since I have so many other ideas to work on, I will devout a little time each day to make the UK sites work. Look for more post on my success or failure in the UK.

Yesterday I found an email from eBay in regards to a new PPC platform that they were setting up on their site. Well boy was I excited, to reach the eBay buyers was a dream come true for any affiliate marketer. Well it did not work out the way I planned. After setting up my new account for the program and being promised $20.00 in credit to get started I set  up my first campaign. Well after all that trouble it seems the PPC campaign can only link back to my own eBay sale or store items for sale. Looking at this it seems eBay double dipping again. They are asking me to list and item and pay fees, and then pay again to have the listing show up in other areas of their site. Well I erased the campaign that I was working on and will have to revist this eBay site another day. It might work for some items I sell on eBay so I am not going to say that overall it’s that bad of an idea, but I do wish they would allow to advertise off site and conect to url’s from my other affiliate landing pages.

So far I have not had to much sucess with Facebook Ad’s. I get clicks, but no converts. There has only been one campaign that I had running before Christmas that did convert. Many affiliate say you need to try different landing pages in order to test properly. That idea in mind I made a few changes and will be working on some other ideas to increase conversion rates. With paid traffic you can not spend to much time making mistakes you need to figure out quickly what work and what does not. The Facebook Ad system does have promise, but it is difficult to get your ad’s approved. The kids that work at Facebook really make it difficult to get an ad running. With time I figure they will get their act together in the meantime online marketers need to do their best to get customer to buy and not just click.

In the past month I used a few different ppc networks to run my holiday promotions. These are the networks I used:

Facebook

Google AdWords

7 Search

Bidvertiser

Yahoo

MSN

From the list above the overall winner would without any doubt be Google AdWords. The most traffic was generated through AdWords and some programs had a very good convert rate which turned into sales. The next best network I found to be 7 Search. I ran a few programs only on this network and did get traffic and conversion. The slowest to get traffic and had no conversion was Bidvertiser, in order to be fair with Bidvertsier perhaps I did not set the campaign correctly. As for Yahoo and MSN I did get a little traffic nothing major and little conversion. As for Facebook some campaigns worked well other did not, I did like Facebook. The only thing I do not like about Facebook is the Facebook Police that rejects almost every ad submitted. It took me a good 10 submits of one ad before the Facebook police let me run the ad. If you are going to spend money and want to see results Google is the way to go. The other networks are great if you can set cheap bids and just let them sit there to run when your bid is the highest.

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Hope everyone got what they wanted under the tree this year. If you got gift cards this holiday make sure to spend them on the sales coming up this week. There are a lot of great deals to be had. You might also play it smart and buy some item for your home business. Look around your home office and see if there is something that might make your work day more productive or buy a book. There is a new book on using AdWords that might be of interest to all online markets.

This book would be a great purchase to start your ppc campaigns for the new year.

I also have a post toady on HDMI cables for your new HD set up it’s a must read.

After two and half months of not being able to use my Yahoo advertising account, the problem was fixed. When I set up this account I was double charge by paypal when I added funds. When I contacted Yahoo they blamed paypal and then paypal blamed Yahoo. Since the problem occurred the account was frozen when I filed a complaint through paypal.  Then Yahoo stopped work for me as they did not like my charge back. After several phone calls and emails, they asked my for a fax to authorize using paypal again. A week ago I sent in the fax, and my account never changed status. After a week of waiting I sent a message to support. It turns out they found the fax today and the account is now working. Now I can get back to promoting and making money with PPC.
