I haven’t been blogging lately because I have been busy doing some others things…. Enhance PPC Search Engine I recently took 1 of my campaigns from Google AdWords and put them in Enhance.I set a daily spending limit to $10 and sure enough it did stay at $10.Well maybe a few cents more than $10 but yes it is trustworthy unlike the old Overture which is now called Yahoo Search Marketing? I decided to go with Enhancebecause some of the loan application clicks were cheap there comparedto Google and Yahoo but they didn’t convert at all! I spent $30 on 108 clicks and received ZERO leads. In Google, I have 3 leads (people whofilled up the Pay Per Lead application form) from 50+ clicks. I’m going to test FindWhat as my 3rd alternative. GoogSpy For Keyword Research Thisis 1 cool tool for spying on my competitors but seriously what I wantto know is what keywords they are using so I can use them myself. Here how I use GoogSpy:

1. I research the common keywords for my particular affiliate program. The ones I know I can never afford to pay for.
2. I enter the keywords in Google.com to see which ads are displayed as the AdWords ads.
3. I copy and paste the URL or company name into Googspy to see what keywords they are bidding on so that I can use them too.

GoogSpy shows you a list of keywords a company is using. If someone isconstantly at the top paying loads of money, I am sure they are not madenough to stay there if they are not making a profit. So just take alook at what keywords they are using and test them in your campaigns to see if they convert for you.

Affiliate Mini Sites

I am in the process of creating my 1st “proper” 1 page mini site topromote an affiliate program. The site will be like a Google AdWords landing page asking for your name and email address and redirecting you to the merchant’s web site once you submitted your email.

I learnt that from a fellow Singaporean internet marketer, Ewen Chia. Sign up for his newsletter to get this free report “7 Days To Freedom”. I am following his 7 day plan but it sure is taking me more than 7 daysto complete my first site. Look at his web site closely…. I am now at the autoresponder stage. I hate writing… except for writing in this blog once in a while. I literally had to force myself to sit down at my table to write a 7-day autoresponder series. The good news is while I was creating my 1st affiliate web site, I realised it would be easier for me if I built a template I could re-use over and over againfor my future sites.

My First Product?

WhileI was creating my first affiliate site… I realised what a pain it was to create the web site pages, autoresponders series and all thattechnical stuff that goes along with it… I had a lot of questions inmy head like:

• Where can I get a good web host for my multiple affiliate sites?
• What kind of autoresponder service/script would suit my needs?
• How does an affiliate site look like?
• What types of affiliate sites should I use? 1 page site or a content site?

I created a bunch of templates for my own use. I looked at Ewen Chia’s web site and followed his model of a simple opt-in page and bunch of thank you page ads. I also created “fill-in-the-blank” affiliate/salesletter template and autoresponder template. I looked at all theautoresponder examples from Yanik Silver’s Autoresponder Magic and created text files for each type of autoresponder sequence.

For my future autoresponders, I simply have to add my own content to thosetext files and I am ready to launch them in my autoresponder script. Yanik’sbook is really helpful but it still takes hours to get the formattingand content out of the PDF file so that is it “useable” and”apply-able”. Simply reading the ebook didn’t get me anywhere till I took the effort to get the structure of their autoresponders out in text files.

Now I have a whole collection of the different types of autoresponders on my computer. The e-course, product introduction,book excerpt and customer follow ups. I am still testing out mytemplates to make them more fool proof and user friendly for”non-techies”. I plan to either sell it on its own or give it away as abonus for people who purchase affiliate marketing products through myaffiliate link.

Traffic Equalizer, Article Equalizer, Blog & Ping, Google AdSense, Blogger and WordPress

I recently bought an ebook titled AdSense Empire for $97. I read it 3 times over the weekend and I’ve still got loads of questions to the author because I don’t quite understand it. From what I understand, I’m going to create pages with Traffic Equalizer to getlots of free traffic and redirect the traffic to my “main” web site. This could be an affiliate site or my own web site. I will be able to use all the tools above in a logical way that drives lots offree search engine traffic to my sites and make affiliate and Google AdSense ad revenue.

Sounds cool to me. I’ve always wanted to learn howto do this and I know a guy who told me he was making more than $100 aday from their Google AdSense revenue. But he wouldn’t tell me how heis doing it because its his secret. I’m going to uncover this “secret”no matter what and make it work for me. Some people say you can learnabout this at the forums but I only get bits and pieces of informationfrom people who would rather keep this a secret. The AdSense Empire is too vague in my opinion and I have over 15 questions after reading the book 3 times. I made a list of things I don’t understand about the “system”. There are no screenshots, no stats just a bunch of diagramsand 38 pages of text. I will have to test to see if it really works outfor me. I don’t want to be a “loser” and say it don’t work if I havenever attempted it myself because I have heard terrible things aboutusing Traffic Equalizer, blogging and pinging. I need to uncover thetruth myself.
