      FREE 15.4″ Macbook Pro from CashTactics.net

      Posted by JasperP on February 26th, 2009

      It’s finally here! I finally received the Macbook Pro in the mail courtesy of Kris from CashTactics.net. It all started when I signed up for Convert2Media under Kris’ referral link and then meeting him for the first time at Affiliate Summit West in Las Vegas.  Under the guidance of Kris and the convert2media team, I generated enough volume to get a laptop!

      He has served as a mentor for me and if you haven’t signed up for their PPC mentorship, do so now! Andrew and Kris at CashTactics are awesome marketers and they’ll definitely give you the help you need to succeed.  They believe in helping people reach their goals.

      Anyway, here are some of the pictures of the BEAUTIFUL and SEXY Macbook Pro I received in the mail:

      I just want to say thanks to Kris at CashTactics and all the guys at Convert2Media for making this possible.  Hard work, networking, and knowledge all pays off when you really stick it through. Convert2Media is one of the fastest growing CPA networks out there and they’re really going to change the industry.

      Advertiser vs Publisher: What Am I?

      Posted by JasperP on January 17th, 2009

      “What’s the difference between an advertiser and a publisher?”

      This was a question that my brother asked after the trip to ASW.  I remembered when I first got started in affiliate marketing with CPA networks, I was kind of confused which one was which. Thinking about it now, I realize that I am both a publisher and advertiser at the same time.  It just depends what type of network I’m  working with.

      Most of the time, CPA Networks are going to refer to affiliate marketers as a publishers.  So if you apply to a CPA network like Convert2Media, then you need to apply as a publisher.  As an affiliate marketer, you are taking the offers and you are publishing them for visitors. Therefore, to the CPA network, you are a publisher.

      However, as an affiliate marketer, you may publish the offer in an Ad Network such as Google Adwords or Adbrite. In this case, you are an advertiser since you are utilizing the impressions and views from a web site. Google Adwords has web site owners (in the content network) that are publishers because they provide ad space for you as the advertiser.

      So, to recap, if you’re an affiliate marketer and…

      • … you’re applying to a CPA network such as Convert2Media, then you’re a PUBLISHER
      • … you’re applying to an ad network such as AdBrite or Adwords then you’re an ADVERTISER.

      Make sense?

      Cool.

      Traffic University Exposed and Media Buying

      Posted by JasperP on September 30th, 2008

      I recently watched the Traffic University Exposed seminar and it was exciting to be able to talk to Carlos and Lupe live!  It was exciting to be able to pick their brain on their techniques on Internet Marketing.  It was also a bit entertaining too! – (Carlos is one freaky cat.. lol).  They have big hearts and it was a pleasure just chatting with them.

      If you’ve never heard of Traffic Tactics, the basic idea is that they use media buying to generate tons of traffic online.  According to them, banner advertising is NOT dead.  In fact, media buying is done by big name companies all the time (You’ve probably seen the NetFlix banner all over the place).

      They focus more on banner advertising rather than the usual PPC marketing that we see from other Internet Marketers.  The cool thing about banner advertising is that you can virtually get an unlimited amount of traffic directly from web sites or through ad networks like Casale Media, Tribal Fusion, etc.

      Now, I almost was able to ask a question on the phone, but they had to cut it short because the seminar was getting pretty lengthy.  I wanted to ask them about my own experience with buying media.  About a month or two ago, I experimented with AdBrite, which is a self-serve ad network.  You can buy media at a CPC or CPM basis which is pretty cool.  I noticed they mentioned it in the “Media Buying Secrets” guide (which is free when you sign up for their free newsletter) and I decided to try it out.  I basically wanted to find out what I was doing wrong. I think I have a better idea with it now, so I guess I’ll give it a try again later on.

      Listening to the seminar tonight, I realized that I think I was optimizing for the wrong criteria.  I was optimizing for which ads had a higher CTR when I should’ve been optimizing for higher CONVERSION RATES.  If a particular ad converts better, but has a lower CTR, that would be the winner right?

      Another interesting point they made tonight is the emphasis of SPLIT-TESTING.  They split test so much that they even split-test PEOPLE.  Sounds odd, but one of the questions that was asked tonight was about where to find a good designer.  Lupe says to split-test designers and see which one does a better job.

      Come to think of it, imagine if the working world was like that… each company hires 2 people for the same position and will keep the better one – hmmm, I wonder if they do that already.

      Anyway, I just wanted to share my thoughts about them.  If you want to learn more about media buying and banner advertising, sign up for their free newsletter and you can get access to their free guide and hours of free video seminars.
