Nerdy Affiliate Adventures In Affiliate Marketing Land

New Affiliate Managers? Again?

Posted by JasperP on July 23rd, 2008

hotcakes.jpgI don’t know about you guys, but affiliate managers seem to turnover like hotcakes!  Over the past year, I’ve seen my affiliate managers change several times across different CPA networks like in Clickbooth, NeverBlueAds, and MaxBounty.  I’ve had the same affiliate manager in AzoogleAds for awhile so it’s nice to see that he’s stable there.

NeverBlueAds is kind of weird too. I just received 2 managers - a business development manager and an affiliate manager.  One of them already disappeared and got replaced by a new one.

It might be because I haven’t really played with the CPA Networks in awhile, but I guess I’m getting passed around like salt and pepper on a dinner table.

Anyone experience the same things?

Project Yahoo: YSM -> CPA Networks

Posted by JasperP on July 22nd, 2008

I just started working on a new project which involves working with Yahoo Search Marketing and CPA Offers.  I’m not going to state what niches I’m working on, but I’m going to share some of my experiences with it to see if I can make a profit from it.

I’m sharing this info with the guys in the ClickConsultants Forum.  So if you want more information on this project, you can follow along with me in more detail in the forum.  I haven’t made a profit with this project yet, so I’ll keep updating this blog and in the forums in the meantime.

Here are the project guidelines:

  • Pick 2 Offers from the CPA Networks.  The network I’m working with is AzoogleAds and maybe NeverBlueAds.
  • Generate a huge list of keywords: (at least 10k+ keywords)
  • Group keywords with a common keywords 1-3 words long.  For example, if my keywords were “blue dog collars”, “red dog collars”, “black dog collars”.  Then my common keyword is “dog collars”
  • Write at least 2 ads per ad group.  Use the common keyword for each ad group name and try to use it in the text ads.
  • Upload to Yahoo Search Marketing and optimize campaign everyday.
  • Write down impressions, clicks, CTR, # of Leads on daily performance.

Niche #1 Updates:

  • 15,257 Keywords
  • 36 Ad Groups
  • 14 Ads per Ad Group
  • CPC: 0.15 (now 0.25 after today)
  • Daily Budget: $5.00

Niche #1 just became live today. I uploaded it on Saturday, July 19 and it barely just got approved today.  I guess they don’t approve anything on the weekends.

More updates soon!
