Blasting to Clickbank

Friday, June 18, 2010

I can’t guess the percentage, but I’d imagine that more than 75% of people who learn about affiliate marketing start by trying their hand at promoting Clickbank products. After all, many Internet Marketing “how-to ebook” publishers tell their students to start there… often teaching them how to promote the same publisher’s ebook that’s selling on Clickbank.

When it comes to blasting, or using PPC via whatever method, to promote Clickbank products, I’d suggest you tread very carefully - especially if you’re using Adwords.

I’ve promoted Clickbank products myself and I’ve seen what results other marketers I know - experienced as well as new - have had from working with Clickbank.

Here’s my approach….

  • I avoid any products with salespages that have sensationalized headlines and outrageous claims like the plague. If it sounds way too good to be true, it probably is.
  • Since I don’t know exactly what Google likes and doesn’t like with respect to landing page design and quality, personally I avoid blasting Clickbank products using Adwords.
  • If I see an offer that I think may actually be solid product but it has a mildly “sensational” sales page, I might try blasting to Bing or Yahoo! instead. Right now they are a lot more lenient with what they allow and much less likely to close your account without warning as many PPC marketers have discovered.

The bottom line for me though is - only blast products/services that align with my personal sense of ethics and are sold in a tasteful way. While, unfortunately, that narrows down the field quite a bit when it comes to e-books, there are still a lot of good products out there that you and I can promote.

Planting Seeds Of Profit With Campaign Blasting

Monday, May 25, 2009

From time to time, PPC marketers that are new to the Campaign Blasting
method come into the forum and lament… “I’ve put 10, 20 or 30 blasts
up and I’m not seeing sales”.

And most of the time those more familiar with the method will caution the
newer blasters to be patient. They encourage that some, maybe many of the
blasts will bear fruit.

Matt actually calls it seeding your account. Each blast is a handful of seeds
that are planted in the PPC environment, Some like the mighty oak tree will
take a long time before you start to see any activity. Yet they will grow
into campaigns that produce major profits.

Others will spring up right away, produce profit for a season and then die
off. But they may return to blossom the following year, and the year after
that.

Some will show brief signs of life and then wither and die. Some of those may
recover and thrive if you tend them carefully.

Others are dead in the ground and never poke their head up

But each one has potential if you follow the method.

I experienced this recently when a campaign blast that I threw together
seemed to be dead. I just ignored it, following the plan. Then one day
something changed and that blast sprung to life, not only generating steady
clicks every day, but steady profits.

It was no longer just a seed. It was a fruit-bearing tree.

Imagine having many ‘trees’ like this in your Adwords account… some
producing a 1.5 ROI a day, some producing 2x and others more.

That’s what blasters do… and it’s working for me.

Excluded Placements Still Showing Up?

Thursday, May 21, 2009
Ever wonder why you excluded a site from displaying your ads in Google Adwords Content Network and yet you still see clicks coming through from the (supposedly) excluded site?

One reason is that you’ve got to wait a while for the changes to register, but beyond that… here’s another thing to consider.
clipped from www.roirevolution.com
placement exclusions operate at the URL level, NOT the domain level. So if you want to be absolutely sure that your ads don’t show up anywhere on a particular domain (meaning no subdomains, directory names, individual pages, etc.), then enter your excluded placement as “domain.com”, not “www.domain.com”

Campaign Blast Challenge (Mini 5) A Go!

Monday, May 4, 2009

Over at the Campaign Blast membership Matt has just started a mini challenge. Challengers are to see how many blasts they can put up in 10 days.

I feel a bit shy putting up a thread ’cause I know I won’t be around that much to post, but I’m joining in to get about 10 up over the mini-challenge.

The winners from the blasts I put up during the last challenge are still chugging along with a decent ROI so a few more would be nice. That’s certainly an encouragement to join in again.

Care to join in?

Blast Your Way To PPC Profits

Saturday, May 2, 2009

In the articles I post here, I will be talking about the method I have been using, in the midst of a very busy life, to set up pay-per-click campaigns that run on autopilot and continue to generate profits for me.

The last few months have been crazy hectic. The only thing I have been able to do with my Adwords account is to log in, check that no campaigns have gone crazy with clicks, and prune keywords and adgroups.

The result of just pruning has been a significant increase in ROI on my advertising spend. Right now it’s hovering about 3 times what I ‘invest’ in advertising.

I read several PPC marketers. I still enjoy Perry Marshall’s insight - can’t do without it actually. Despite this, the Campaign Blasting Method has given me a step by step framework. Dumbed everything down if you like, in a way that makes it work for me.

Not that I haven’t made mistakes. Actually the biggest mistakes I made were when I thought I was making the Blasting method better than Matt had designed it - before I got to know it well enough.

Now that I have practised the method more, I can make tweaks that work well, but I sure was a bit silly to tweak before I knew what I was doing at the beginning.

Anyway, that’s all for my first post. True to my busy life, I’ve got to run and take my children out for a bit.

Until… all the best.
