Top Ten Tips for Google Adwords Campaign


The perfect method to earn online is promoting  other people's products. You can earn money through a sales page on a blog . Of course, you will need to drive a traffic on your site. After optimising onsite SEO and link building, my advice would be to invest some small amounts of money into Pay-Per Click marketing. Adwords is best option so far.  You CAN make money online if you are the type of person who is a self-starter and motivated to work toward your goals even when the going gets tough. 


Many affiliate marketers are  obsessed with finding the best keywords and totally neglect other factors in creating a profitable search engine advertising campaign. They often  leave their campaign running in such a way that it costs them way more than necessary. They are making mistakes. They are not focused. They are overwhelmed.
Here are some smart tips that can help you improve your Adwords campaigns :



1) Benefit from misspelling!!! Everyone knows, but just few people implement it. They earn a lot, because they bid on misspelling words. If you have coupon codes website, bid for copuon, cods, couppon, etc.

2) Set up the campaign just with 2 ads tested. Google create additional text ads and rotate them for you until you say otherwise. Google search engine also shows you the CTR, CPC and number of clicks for each ad.

3) When you have at least  hundred clicks on your best performing ad, you should erase  lowest and insert another ad to test in its place. Main important is to keep testing two or maybe three ads in rotation until you have a  winner.

4) Always compile a small collection of key phrases to test for each grouping of ads. Before getting started, it is good to to test different ads  against each other.

5) When you are stuck and don't know what else to do with your keywords, try just one change at the time. Test other elements in order to improve campaigns.  Reverse words in text campaigns, for example. Modify everything , then test again. As I said before - don't get overwhelmed.

6)  If you implement the keyword in the header line, you will have more clicks. Why? The headline in the Adwords-ad must catch the viewers attention. Implement keyword into Adwords-ad headline.

7) Put 2-3 keywords in text ads. Doing it, you will save a lot of money for bidding particular keywords. But, be careful - it must look organic. Google algorithm is smart.

8) Remember- your primary aim isn't to advertise. It is about solving people's problems.When making text ads, ask yourself - Do you offer a product at a cheaper price than competition? Which problem solves your product or service?

9) Update your Adwords ads at specific events or holidays. This is "a must"!

10) Use so called  "excluding keywords" i.e.  keywords which your ad is supposed not to appear. you don't have to pay for clicks, when somebody is searching for free stuff (for example), but your ads will be there. 

I wish you happy earnings :)

Yes, it is true - the field is very competitive and if you want to become successful, you will need to invest time and effort.  There are many affiliate strategies. You have to try one for a while and see how that works, or try several at a time and compare them with each other. 
Yet, some of them are more successful than others. One of them would be

Stealing Your Competitors Adwords Campaigns with Keyword Spy


Although this method include Keyword Spy which is payed tool, I think it is worth. I tried this tactics several times with much success.  With Keyword Spy you can  track other affiliates’ campaigns  which give you most important  data  including the keywordsand promoted products so  you can quickly analyze successful campaigns and literally COPY the exact same strategy.


1) Log into your Keyword Spy account. You'll see search bar- “begin your keyword search here”. Hit the "search button" which will brought you to research page. There is a '"affiliate keyword" tab. When you press the button, it will give you Clickbank, by default, but if you don't want to focus only on Clickbank, you can easily change it, because Keyword Spy tool also 'covers' other affiliate networks as well, such as Tradedoubler, Amazon, even Commission Junction. 


Next step is to look  down bellow the page and search for so called ‘Super Affiliates’ section. On the right it is shown the top 10  affiliates of network you choosed. They all get traffic with Adwords.Among them,  find an affiliate who is promoting multiple products with a small number of keywords in every campaign. You can replicate fast his camapigns, because, this tells us that he is working on highly optimized promotions. Also, look at his affiliate ID. Click on it. You will get more details.
After you have  clicked on the affiliate ID, you are taken to a different page, where his results are shown in full. You will see exact keywords  he is bidding on Google Adwords  for each individual product that he is promoting. These keywords are money making keywords!!!


What to do with these results?
 Go through the list of products he promotes. Choose a market for yourself, considering these keywords. You don't  have to scan through pages and pages of keywords, just click the "products"  tab . Click on the name of each product . It will show you a keywords, that's been bidding. If you click the "Ad Variations"  tab, you’ll be able to see the exact ad which is being bid on for each keyword too
Set up your own Adwords campaign. Test few of these products. Use a direct link for everyproduct using the keywords you "steal" from 'super affiliate'  competitor. When you assume that is successful, create a pre-sell page. That will boost your conversions.

Niche blogs - a golden mines for affiliate marketing

Indeed, affiliate marketing is one of the easiest and most effective home business opportunities online today.  Yet, not all affiliate programs have to be for profit. There are many people who are just looking to get traffic to their sites by cooperating with other sites. Just as a strong page on your website can help increase the rankings of your other pages rankings on affiliates’ sites can do the same. Don’t confuse affiliates with guest books or link pages. An affiliate marketing  is working with some kind of service or business to make a profit so it is a function of commerce.

Affiliate  programs are really  easy to find so just keep in mind what kind you would be willing to do for your site. The money you make from your online business comes from two sources: affiliate links and from referrals to others who join the business opportunity through your website.  Don’t give yourself more work than you need to.  Find profitable products from good niches.  Many affiliate marketers don’t  understand this. When they don’t make sales, they quit fast. Then, they  look for other programs and they are repeating  the same mistake. Blogs or more specifically - Niche Blogs,  are simple blogs which are  focused and target a specific market and/or niche.  Niche Blogs come into play because of  many capabilities and functions. The best way to take advantage of your new source of traffic and maximize your Niche Blog profits is to modify your blog template and add your affiliate programs marketing materials or even Google Adsense to it.

There is also another great thing about blogs in general. Search engines loves them!!! Every time you post to your Niche Blog it "Pings" the search engines and other RSS Directories you've submitted. That is "the sign"  to letting them know that there's new fresh content for them to come and index.
The more you post, the more pages that will be produced, which means... more for the search engines to index, which means more traffic to your Niche Blog. And- more money. 

There is no "Bad niche". Every niche can be good and profitable. If there are so many competitors, simply find a sub-niche with less competition. Probabbly  the best niches (where you should find some good subniches) for affiliate marketing are:


Shopping Malls: Some section of your home page might be dedicated to affiliate ads from a big company like amazon.com. As with the auction section, the navigation bar will list a number of amazon.com categories and will take your website visitors to the area in which they're interested.


Nutrition: You might also have several smaller graphics that are affiliates of nutrition companies, and that sell, for example, bodybuilding or weight loss supplements. Similarly, you may have affiliate links for ecommerce sites that book vacations or that sell flowers, electronics, or supplies for pets.

Auctions: One portion of your home page can be a portal to eBay auctions, and actually list many of eBay's main categories. It also might have a banner ad that lists auctions that are ending soon, as well as an in-banner search box so visitors can search for items of interest.

Why Is Affiliate Marketing Great Way To Start Your Online Business

Just  few years ago years ago, having a Web presence wasn't so important. So called web pioneers were trying to find a way to bring the Internet to the masses.



Remember the times when  email was almost only way of corresponding? Today, there are tons  of websites. Virtually anyonecan start up an online business.

So, online business is just waiting for you. 

But, what to choose? How to find an online business opportunity that can bring in revenues without you having to actually sell products, stock inventory, or deal with customers?



That's where affiliate programs come in.  The truth is, one of the best mechanisms for monetizing a website is through affiliate programs. Affiliate marketing is ideal to start an internet business working from home. In simple terms, affiliate marketing is a web-based marketing practice in which a business rewards one or more affiliates for each visitor or customer brought about by the affiliate's marketing efforts.

 Even if you've never heard of them, chances are you've seen affiliate programs on hundreds of websites. They are the buttons and banners and links that advertise ecommerce sites both large and small. Affiliate marketing is great because anyone with a laptop, Internet connection and some imagination can set up an affiliate marketing business. Affiliate marketing is great, because  every time a person clicks from your website to that of an affiliate website and that person buys something, you get a percentage of the sale. Although the percentage is relatively small, the more traffic you drive to your website, the higher your clickthroughs and the higher your sales.

Affiliate marketing works effectively for the merchant and the affiliate. To the first, he gains opportunities to advertise his products to a larger market, which increases his chances to earn.  Although some people are willing to invest an incredible amount of time signing up for individual affiliate programs and building their own websites, there are actually companies that will do the legwork for you. However, it is also true that many affiliates do not earn big money online because they do not have a proven system to follow and thus unsuccessful in earning an income on the Internet.





If you want to be an affiliate marketer, you must follow the  three most basic and easiest ways to start an effective affiliate marketing program.

Focusing on a specific area you know very well will help you bring out your best without much risks and effort. Also, choosing something you are already familiar with, will establish you as a expert in your field. In this way, you gain their trust and eventually encourage them to buy the products you endorse.



2) Look for good paying merchants and products or services related to your interest and create now a website. In choosing the products, you must also consider its conversion rate—which means- the number of visitors-turned-buyers. There are various affiliate networks that can give you info on the most profitable products and best paying merchants. The key here is, be wise enough to choose the right one.



3) Now,  you are ready to promote. This is the most important  task, since it is through this that you would be able to increase traffic to the business website, which means increasing sales, and therefore- more profit!

Affiliate marketing is a proven, effective way to increase your traffic.  If you want to start your own Internet Business, affiliate marketing is a must for your marketing strategy.
