I want to truely help the members of EF to succeed! :thumbup:

Thus, I felt it beneficial and necessary to create this thread and weekly program. Here are the details of how it all works:

1. Post all of your QUESTIONS within this thread. One question per post please.
2. Do not discuss things within this thread, just post questions.
3. At the start of every week I will pull one question each week from this thread that I feel will be most helpful, and submit it in the Green/Orange private areas to get answers from some of EF's biggest earners.
4. At the end of each week, I will move the thread of answers back in to this Monetization forum for all to read and comment on.

This will be an organized way for you to hear the opinions and thoughts of EF members making more than $20,000 monthly. You will then be able to discuss each question, read the replies of others, and REALLY learn! :drool:

I have a low PPC budget but it would be nice to get this question answered:

1. Signup as an affiliate of this advertiser _______
2. Use this keyword list _____ and start a ppc campaign at ________
3. Set your daily budget to _____ and your max bid on keywords to ______
4. blah blah blah etc.

Not your best kept secret .. just something that works so we can build off of the example.

In my experience, I've seen the best ranking websites topping off at just under 4%.

Unless you're referring to the blackhat spam promoting ambatchdotcom seocontest you have linked to in your sig.

anyways, questions on the money aspects of things here, people. SEO Qs in the SEO forums, right?
