Smart Tips for Managing PPC Programs

Pay per click programs are highly effective way to get instant traffic on your website. This is a good tool to attract quality and highly targeted traffic. The bids normally start from 0.05 cents which is quite good as you can get a good number of visitors by spending a little amount. Even if bid is 0.10 cents, you can get 10 visitors by paying $1.

Smart Tips for Managing PPC programs

·          Identify the set of keywords which clearly defines the services / products you offer. This clearly means that you need to remove unnecessary keywords which might be related to your category but can not generate quality traffic to your website.

·          Focus on product/service which you wish to sell. Remember, its selling service and you have to be specific in PPC approach. You can not have your whole catalogue on your single campaign.

·          Take bottom up approach for bid management. Start with a certain minimum value and the scale up the campaigns on a day to day basis till you arrive at an optimum level where your goals are met.(optimal combination of your budget / CPA / Bid / position)

·          Come up with a precise ad copy. Include text in the campaign which clearly states about the service / product you are promoting in the ad campaign. If possible, try to include pricing in the ad copy if you are selling any product. This will increase the CTR (Click Through Ratio) if your pricing is competitive.

·          Setup the campaign and bid on maximum relevant keywords possible. This will increase the possibility of clicks.

·          Track you campaign: This is the most important step. You need to place tracking to track the ROI (Return On Investments). You need to restrict your CPA (Cost Per Acquisition). Big programs like adwords/overture can generate huge volumes and your money can vanish in a day. So you need to track your returns, and this is the only way by which you can know whether its working out for you or not.

·          Keep tweaking the campaigns in terms if bids and ad copy by looking at the reports. An attractive ad copy can increase the chances of getting clicks.

·          Do not rush for position #1. Settle for positions 4/5/6 as bids will be lower and visibility will also be OK. This will lower your CPA (Cost Per Acquisition) and increase ROI (Return On Investments). If you try the above points, you can expect improvements in your ROI (Return On Investments) and in the long run, constant bid management can get you sustained success in managing PPC programs.

How will refering new affiliates to an affiliate program make me money in the future? Thats where a 2 tier affiliate program works like magic!

 Affiliates are getting cleverer by the day. So these days, affiliates know the difference between the different types of traffic they can get paid for. There are a lot of definitions though – CPM, CPC, CPA, CPL, CPD and many more.
 
 CPM is impressions, when the publisher (the website owner) gets paid every time a banner is shown.

 CPC is clicks, where the publisher (or email marketer and other marketers) gets paid every time a banner or text link is clicked upon.

 The other ways of getting paid are grouped together under the term performance marketing – and this is where the term affiliate is most commonly used as well.

 An affiliate is a marketer who sends visitors to another site using a variety of methods (such as placing banners or text links on their own site, buying sponsored listings on search engines, email marketing and many other different methods) and gets paid when an action happens. This action can be a lead (CPL stands for Cost per Lead), a Sale (CPS stands for Cost per Sale), a download (CPD stands for Cost per download) and many other variations.

 Some in the Internet industry refer to performance based marketing as CPA (cost per acquisition), although the term is also sometimes used for specific types of campaigns such as leads or sales.

 Now that we’ve got over the hard part, the rest is easy to understand.

 The affiliate gets paid for sending visitors to a specific landing page where an action happens – either a lead, a sale, a download or some other sort of action that the advertiser requires. As an example, some advertisers are looking to build up their databases, so they pay for each opt in email address they receive, others want leads from specific locations, so they pay for zip codes, and then try convince the visitors after they fill in their zip code, to fill in a more detailed lead form.

 The common denominator is that the affiliate gets paid when an action happens.

 A 2 Tier affiliate program is simply finding new marketers to sign up under you to do EXACTLY what you are doing – sending visitors to different offers and getting paid when the visitors perform some sort of action. So why would you want other marketers to sign up under you to promote the same offers? Simple – you get paid a percentage of the amount the affiliate you refer gets paid? Sounds complicated?

 Don’t worry, it’s not hard to understand. As an example, say John promotes 5 different offers on a single affiliate network. He gets paid for every lead, sale, email and zip code he generates from these different offers. John now tells Mark about the Network and gets Mark to sign up using a banner or text link that has John’s referral code built into it. Mark now signs up to the Affiliate Network under John and starts promoting various offers and advertisers from the Affiliate Network. These offers DON’T have to be the same offers that John is promoting. Mark can promote ANY of the offers on the Affiliate Network.

 And this is the best part…

 For any amounts that Mark gets paid, John receives a percentage of the amount over and above what Mark gets paid. So if Mark gets paid $1000 in Month 1, and the 2 Tier Affiliate program is paying 5%, then John would receive $50 just for referring Mark.

But it gets even better…

Some 2 Tier Affiliate Networks pay LIFETIME commissions. So John wouldn’t get a referral commission just for a month or a year – he receives it FOR ALL TIME.

 If Mark becomes a super affiliate and starts generating HUGE commissions every month, John can just sit back and collect the checks as he referred him.

 There are 3 important things to know when finding affiliates to sign up under you on 2 Tier Affiliate Programs:

 Is the affiliate program or affiliate network credible, has proper tracking so your referrals are correctly tracked, has good campaigns and offers for the affiliates to promote so they actually do make money, and do they pay timeously? Assuming that the affiliate program or network is good, what percentage do they pay you on amounts that your referrals get paid? All programs vary so compare different programs to see what the industry standard is.

 How long do you continue receiving referral commissions for? Some pay for a month, some for the lifetime, and of course there are many variations in between.
 
 So do your homework and find a 2 Tier program that can make you money long in the future for the work you’re doing today.

CPA network is generally an affiliate network as well.

There are many types of affiliate networks and the more common ones are ClickBank and Commission Junction.

FYI: An affiliate network is a company who helps advertisers to recruit people and pay a commission fee to sell their products or services.

1. Stricter Regulation but Lucrative

CPA network are very low-profile due to its stricter registration rules towards affiliates.
However if you get to enter one, you can be sure that it can be very lucrative as some of the online big players often take part in a CPA network.

2. CPA work closely with clients and affiliates

They work very closely with their clients and affiliates unlike most common affiliate networks. If you are performing well as a affiliate, you can be sure that the company will do their best to retain you.

Due to this close relationship, they often attract big name advertisers as CPA companies are very result-orientated.

3. What does CPA means

The term CPA means Cost-Per-Action or Cost per Acquisition.

You earn money when your lead (the visitor whom you send to their page) takes a desired action.
This are simple actions such as providing the advertisers with personal info(email address, phone number, zipcode) and sometimes a sale.

Please note that the advertisers will indicate earlier the type of action that warrant payment.

Ask anyone who generate sales before and they will tell you its not easy to ask your buyers to part with their cash.

4. Main attraction of CPA Network

The attraction about CPA Network is they will pay you even when your lead doesnt make a purchase. In fact, they will often offer gifts or discount vouchers in exchange for their contacts. This make conversion a lot easier when the visitor gets rewarded for a simple action.

As such, it is very attractive for affiliates to take part as most of the pre-sell work has been taken over by the advertisers .

However take note that a lot of CPA Network are very strict when recruiting affiliates because of all the frauds. You might need alot of convincing on your part using your online sales experience and your sincerity.

CPA Marketing is like marketing most internet services and products online. The main difference is that each offer usually has certain advertising limits, and also CPA network is generally very clear about what sorts of marketing campaigns you can run for each offer.

CPA Marketing on article websites is generally permitted if the affiliate offer enables the “search” category. Article advertising may be quite a money-making method when used correctly. You will want to check with your affiliate manager with any questions you might have about which offers allow it, and where you are allowed to market the offers.

Most CPA offers create some kind of lead for the advertiser. For example, many times a person will see a free trial offer and provide their billing information, and pay shipping to try a product. This is usually a CPA offer, or Cost Per Acquisition. Advertisers will pay you to generate leads on their offers.

Categories can range from cash advances, to credit card sign ups, to diet offers. These offers are usually very attractive to affiliates because the commissions are often higher. Once you are approved under a CPA ad network, you will have hundreds of offers to choose from. The nice thing about these offers is that the network will generally give you a measure of how successful each offer is, and an estimate of the earnings generated per click.

The most popular way to advertise most of these offers is by using Pay Per Click. Google AdWords, Yahoo Search Marketing, and Microsoft’s AdCenter provide opportunities for online to create campaigns for CPA Network Marketing. PPC will require money upfront, and when you are first beginning to learn about this process, you want to be knowledgeable, and careful with your investment. You have to know what you are doing to turn a profit.

Article promoting is a preferred advertising technique for many new affiliate marketers because it is free. There is no big investment required. You only have spend time writing good quality articles, and submitting them to the top directories. You also have to create a good article promoting plan and be consistent. You have to write many articles to drive traffic to your offer.

Eventually, once you begin to generate regular traffic to your landing page, you will get a good idea of how well the offer converts. This will tell you how much more marketing you need to do to reach your goals, and you can build upon your successes.

Simple Pay Per Click / Cost Per Click Strategy

In a Nutshell, Pay Per Click or PPC is a search engine marketing technique which is used by search engines and advertising networks to generate clicks. In this, advertiser uses potential key phrases and bid for their position in the sponsored links section to generate leads to their website. The major service providers in the area are Google Ad words, Yahoo – Overture program, MSN Ad center. Apart from these BIG 3, there are many smaller programs which comprises the PPC universe. Setting up PPC sounds simple, but it requires certain practices and constant monitoring as improper biddings can make an advertiser bankrupt overnight.

Below are the simple strategies, which can make your PPC campaign more result oriented.

·          Keywords research: Always do good keywords research and come up with as many keywords / key phrases as possible, related to your product / Service. Come up with more and more secondary keywords which are relevant to the service / product offered by you. A secondary keyword may not have good search volumes but can certainly improve your conversion rates.

·          Create proper landing page: A landing page is the page on a website where the traffic generated through PPC program lands. Always make good. Attractive landing pages. A home page can not be a landing page as it is the identity of your website. Home page is used to present corporate identity, its more on “Who you are” whereas a landing page should focus on “what service / product you offer” and “why customer should buy from you”.

·          Write Relevant Ad Copy: The ad copy should clearly mention the product / service on offer for a particular campaign and the pricing for it. Any deviation from this will make you lose the space. An ad copy with pricing catches attraction of the visitor, thus making CTR (Click Through Ratio) value high.

·          Conversions: Incorporate conversion tracking code. Without this, you will not be able to know the exact ROI (Return On Investments). One must measure the leads coming through PPC programs, this helps in utilizing the budget effectively.

·          Bidding: Test the ROI (Return On Investments), conversion for various places in the sponsored link category by varying the bids for 2-3 weeks. This will give you the optimal position where you can safely bid and get desired CPA (Cost per acquisition) and can stick to your allocated monthly budget without much hassle. One you do this, you will understand that bidding for top positions is not good always.

·          Check competition: Look at the ad copy used by your competitors, analyze them and if required, make changes in your ad copy. Use promotional “HOOKS” (offers) to increase CTR (Click Through Ratio).

·          Branding: Do not let your affiliate to use your brand name for making their ad copy. This may affect your branding.

·          Monitoring: Constantly monitor your campaigns, there is nothing like AUTO PILOT in PPC campaigns. The competition is cut throat and you will need to adjust your bid in order to optimize your ROI (Return On Investments).

·          REALISTIC expectations: Have realistic expectations with your campaigns. You can not increase your business 10 folds overnight using PPC campaigns. It’s a market where you are selling goods and services. You can get the leads but if your website is not up to the mark or your pricing does not suit visitor, you will not get final CONVERSION. So ideally first step before setting up PPC programs is to do proper home work. Make your website up to the mark, create good landing pages, provide information in great detail so that the visitors get a complete idea about your services, products, pricing etc.

·          Last but not least, do monthly tweaking in bids, ad copy, remove non performing ads from your campaigns. This is life weeding, removing unnecessary items from your campaigns.
