Hi guys

Im not asking for any secrets or anything just how you guys are marketing. I have tried PPC with another affiliate program and that kinda went wrong lol although i didnt lose much just google dont like me lol. Plus i notice CB seems to have saturated the PPC market is this true?

How are people performing with article submission? is this still a nice way to get hits?

I was thinking of making a hub type website of e-books i have read that it is best to concentrate on just one or two e-books what would be your views on this?

Thanks guys

PPC -> Affiliate arbitrage is VERY saturated and it's easy to lose your shirt if you don't have a strong background in PPC. Ebooks are also very saturated. My recommendation to all who want to get involved in AM is still to sacrifice early profits and instead build something long-term and organic.

Yes, article submission works very well. You just have to know where to submit your articles.
Write a few good articles and submit it not only to article directories but also to social networking sites and news sharing sites. You'll see your traffic jump for a few days.

You can create squidoo lenses, article market, and SEO your articles and webpages and use a sitemap on your mainpage. Then focus long term on your backlinks. If you have a good niche market, PPC is still a great method.

Article submission works wonders. I use them to promote my blogs and my adsense revenues runs to hundreds weekly.

Try it. As the other writer said, PPC is already saturated, try something else,

article submission, blogging, and link exchange. They all work.

ppc will work if you constantly test and mesure, otherwise you might as well go get your money and flush it down the toilet.

traffic is crutial in this game.....any good marketer will agree. there is lots of way that you can get this. But when thinking...ok I need to get traffic, think of where you can get the most targeted traffic from...where do these sort of people (your prospects) hang out, group together, talk, chat or network.

I also want to a give try on article marketing, however I don't have the enough courage to try it because I'm not really sure whether it works for me or not. By the way, keywords research and article writing have a lot of hard works...... I think I need sometime to persuade myself to take action :blink:

Article marketing is great, once you learn which articles bring you the most money, and you have made some money, you can try PPC, PPC can be cut throat if you have no previous experience with it. Remember if you do start PPC, Never make the mistake of picking keywords that aren't targeted. Such as 'make money'. Clickbank is a great affiliate network to join. So join Clickbank, head over to the marketplace, select some products with average gravity and write articles relating to the keywords people would likely type in when after that product. Hope that helps a bit :P Never write articles based on keywords that have to much competition, your article won't get seen in the search engines.

Article submission works well. Try to write some quality articles and just see how your traffic raises. of course PPC is saturated. You can also build a few squidoo lenses which could earn you immediate income but I think they are not longterm. try something which helps you on a long term basis.
good luck.

Article marketing works well ONLY when readers click on BOTH your article and your author bio links.

From what I have written for my articles, only when your title is interesting or induce curiosity, people will click on your article.

So, if you are not getting traffic from article marketing, it means that your title is not interesting enough or your author bio is not well-written.

of course there are other factors to consider. But these 2 are the major ones.

ha ha ha omg i nearly wee'd in my pants when I read that ebooks are very saturated....not way in the world....they will be round for many years to come....in fact I saw a launch just last week with an ebook and software that bought in 200 k in the first week. write an indepth ebook and some good jv partners and get ready for the bank manager to start asking which banks you are robbing, cause the money will come free and easily.

no ebook is saturated, only the niche markets they belong to.

Sound like there are a lot of possibilities that will make your efforts gone...

PPC is the front end. You need a powerful back
end that converts well. PPC is saturated in some
niches BUT there are many more out there waiting
for you. I have a friend making money in the fruit niche

(Now don't everyone go CJ and search for fruits niches
to market... doh)

You can track very easily just
sending traffic to your webpage which contains
your Google Analytics code then redirecting the
site to the merchants sales page.

Of course if you do it this way, you will not be building
your list. Still its a small sacrifice because this tells
you which keywords pay. Once you know which keywords
is making you money, then you can start building your
list for that niche. You'll need to use an excel spread
sheet to track the keywords that pay.

Many ways to play the game.

By the way, if you learn how to do right keyword
research, Adsense pays good!

Article submission works very well, it is easy and more effective.
