Affiliate Marketing Tycoon

**skyhawk133** · 10-03-2007, 03:01 PM

This is my first landing page design on my own. I've used pre-done landing pages in the past and had so-so luck, but would like to try some of my own.

The white box with the people is actually a javascript widget that the affiliate provides.

Feedback please.

not bad man looks appealing. The main thing will be making that page be quality score friendly as your design has no "text" for the G bot to gobble up.

**imported_mikeb** · 10-03-2007, 03:55 PM

Agreed. Looks top notch IMO but you'll need text and basic seo that I assume you know about.

Yeh... any recommendations? Can I just pull from Wikipedia... don't plan on organic... just doing PPC (AdWords)

I would do a quick original writeup maybe pull some of the paragraphs from kasamba themselves... use some H1 tags and that

Hey, I'm impressed. It is your first landing page so I wont be too harsh

Loose the thick border, it really over powers the entire page. Also add some more content, and make the gradient go all the way through. Meaning instead of the white in the middle make it the light green so theirs no white. This will make it look like it has a lot of content. Its all about psychology, and you'll need it if you want your visitors to convert.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll tweak the design tomorrow when I'm on my desktop.

Here's the actual page. I threw about 1000 keywords from some search data I've collected recently and impressively, only 56 of the 1000 are below the quality threshold...

Live C++ Help

Now to see if any of those clicks convert.

That looks like a nice page. I would also recommend some text as the robots will not pick up any and your price on keywords would probably be sky high. Good luck with this.

**Moelman** · 10-04-2007, 08:45 AM

Looking good now!

**skyhawk133** · 10-04-2007, 10:54 AM

Price on keywords has settled around $0.50... still higher than I'd like, but going to try it for a couple days.

Any suggestions for improving the quality score on that page?

**spyderman4g63** · 10-04-2007, 05:55 PM

Do people who code c++ really click ads?

**skyhawk133** · 10-04-2007, 06:14 PM

When they paid $800 for a course, and will flunk it if they can't get that assignment turned in by tomorrow... they'll not only click ads, but pay $50-$100 to have someone help/do the assignment for them.

**john546** · 10-04-2007, 06:47 PM

$0.50 seems very high I must admit. I have never paid that much per click. I am using very competitive keywords and am paying $0.15 at the most. I find that sometimes you have to start quite high and your cost per click can sometimes go down if you can get a good CTR. If you can't get a good CTR then you will see an increase in the cost.

nice looking page however I have a couple things for feedback.

Since a large popluation of your people looking for this are going to be dudes, try and find some semi hot nerdy looking girls for them to click on. Sex sells bottom-line and if someone thinks they can talk to a cute chick and get help at the same time. Well you understand.

Also Making a landing page and the language on it is an art. A great place to start and study is Diorex's blog diorex.wordpress.com it'll give you a lot of pointers on what works for them. He works for a very large PPC company that does all their own offers.

i would try to put it on a C++ type domain like programminghelp.com or something like that (just an example dunno if its available)

**risrik** · 11-24-2007, 04:02 AM

I think it looks pretty good. I've done landing pages like this, fussing over them for weeks to try and get the bids lowered. I've always had AdWords eventually kill me with $10 per keyword bids essentially shutting off the campaign. The ad would have keyword phrases and those exact keyword phrases would be the title, H1, and in the unique text on the landing page. Yet I would always eventually get dinged. Google just doesn't like landing pages for AdWords anymore. The SE will pick it up though. Just be aware!
