Anyway, with this search engine, you can check out the different CPA offers from various networks and see what type of offers are out there.

There are over 20,000+ offers and over 60+ networks listed.  Check it out now:

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. 

How To Find Out About CPA Offer Payouts

Posted by JasperP on November 11th, 2008

Usually when I hear of an offer, I’ll check the affiliate networks I’m associated with to see what the payouts are.  Sometimes, however, the offers aren’t available in my networks.  After that I check out two sites: Offer Vault and AffSpy.

Offer Vault and Affspy are two sites that track various offers in the different affiliate networks.  I personally like Offer Vault better because of the fact that all the payouts and everything are laid out in front of you.  In AffSpy, you have to click through the offer to see which networks are promoting it.  I guess it’s a matter of preference but that’s the big difference to me.

I did a search on “dating” and here’s what it came up with:

Looking for a specific offer “Omaha Steaks”:

You can see that the data is different. Offer Vault shows MaxBounty while AffSpy doesn’t have MaxBounty.  The data may not be consistent between both networks, but It’s good to have both, so sign up now! It’s free!

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!
