Test Traffic Goolge Adwords is Not The Only Game In Town

Alex — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 01:00:37 +0000

Many affiliates have been slapped by Google and seen their page scores lowered or campaign not show up. This is why it is very important to find other sources for your PPC traffic. There are many PPC networks and it makes it tough for me to recommend any particular network. It’s all based on your campaign and where the network gets the traffic. This is why testing is so important if you want to make money online. As we all know Google Adwords can be very expensive and competitive. This is why you need to try new traffic and try to match your campaign to the the network. If you can contact the PPC network ask them where are your ad’s going to show and how does their fraud click policy work. You need to find out as much about any network you plan on working with. Look for reviews online and see what others are saying. You want to get a solid number of networks that can convert. This is why testing is important. If you do not test a network you will never know if the traffic they send is quality. You need to at least spend $25 to $100 to kind of get a feel for the traffic. When you find a network that seems provide quality traffic increase your spending and keep monitoring to make sure the traffic continue to be quality. There are some campaigns that I run that have done very well on second tier PPC networks and it has cost me less to acquire a sale then it would with Google Adwords. The bottom line is you need to test traffic and fit the traffic to your campaign.

Miva PPC Review

Alex — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 22:09:37 +0000

The Miva PPC program is a simple to use pay per click network. Like Google Adwords you create your campaign and enter your keywords. The test for this review was done over three different campaigns. The first saw the full deposit of $35.00 burnt in less then a few hours with no sales. The only thing that the clicks brought were a few AdSense clicks on the landing page. Not a sigle user bought the product which on Google has a great conversion rate. The second test was about the same, but with less clicks as it was a niche product. The third campaign is still running, but it also looks like it might not be doing to well.

The reviews that I have come across for Miva are mixed some people swear that they made money and got tons of great traffic. Then there are people like me that have not converted any sales on campaigns that have worked well with other ppc networks.

Let’s see how the last offer works out. If I do not make any sales then I will not use Miva for any further campaigns.

PPC Network Tests

Alex — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 03:51:30 +0000

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.

Back On Yahoo Advertising

Alex — Wed, 17 Dec 2008 05:06:14 +0000

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.

Trying 7 Search pay per click

Alex — Wed, 26 Nov 2008 16:01:24 +0000

A few weeks ago I signed up for ppc with 7 Search it is almost like Google Adwords. The traffic is a little different and you will not get the same results as with Adwords, but you will get real traffic. In that I mean that the traffic that 7 Search sends over is highly related and interested in what you are offering.

The first real test for this ppc program started yesterday, I place my ad and had about 80 clicks in just a few hours. This turned into 7 clicks on my web site direct to products. The clicks so far did not turn into sales, but I will keeping testing for another few days or until I reach my campaign goal of $30.00 if by then there is no sales I will pull the plug and try a new campaign.
