I’m Elite with Elite Clicks Media
Posted by JasperP on December 11th, 2009
Wow.. it’s been about 4 months since I last posted on here. I’m still alive and kicking if anyone was worried. =)
Anyway, I just wanted to post about Elite Clicks Media. I’ve known Ryan Machara for over a year and the ECM crew sent me a sweet surprise. Check it out:
Ryan has been in this industry forever and they just started a hot new CPA network with *exclusive* affiliate training to go from $0/day to $1000/day. I’ve watched the first seminar with Greg Davis and it’s really good stuff!
Check out Elite Clicks Media if you haven’t already:

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

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: Campaign Progress And Dating Niche Launch
Posted by JasperP on July 31st, 2008
So I’ve been trying to test out traffic on Yahoo with the purpose of taking the profitable keywords and moving it over to Google. I’ve only been testing out the traffic for about 2 weeks using a specific method of testing broad keywords and text ads.
The general guideline is 10,000+ keywords (grouping <1000 keywords with 1-2 common keywords for each ad groups) and 10+ ads for each ad group. The main purpose for testing like this is to get a broad view of what types of keywords convert as well as what types of ad copy converts best.
I optimize these campaigns every day by using the following criteria (These guidelines come from Artarmon42 and Keliix06 of ClickConsultants):
- Sort by clicks and delete keywords that make absolutely no sense
- Sort by impressions then by CTR and use the following guidelines
- Delete keywords with less than 250 impressions and no clicks
- Delete keywords with less than a 0.4% CTR
The exception to these rules is if the keywords appears to be highly targeted but I just need more data to verify. I will let those type of keywords run until I reach 1-2x the commission.
So far I’ve learned quite a bit from this project. I’m learning to micromanage a bit more and I’m paying close attention to the details of my campaigns. I’ve also constructed my own keyword-level tracking script from the tips at the guys at ClickConsultants.
I might as well reveal the niches that I’m working on right now with Yahoo. I think there’s no point in hiding the overall niche. So instead of telling you Niche #1, Niche #2, etc, I can just tell you that I’m currently focusing on the following:
- Debt Consolidation
- Dating
- Online Games
Here is the summary so far:
As you can see, I’m still in the red with a negative ROI. I expected that because of the fact that when you’re testing a wide variety of things, it’s really difficult to pick out the good keywords and text ads on the first try (unless you’re either damn lucky or a super marketer!).
One thing that I noticed, though, after studying my debt relief offer in great detail was that my traffic was being sent to the Smiley Central International offer! Usually when that happens, it’s because the offer doesn’t accept traffic from a particular country. In my case, I was sending traffic to Canada! I just changed that yesterday and now my CTR went from 1.0% to 0.5% overnight! So I’m basically starting over again with the whole tuning process. Oh well. Lesson learned.
I did get my first lead for the debt relief campaign and this was after removing Canada from my geo-targeting options. I’m probably going to re-import this campaign since the stats are all screwed up now due to the different traffic sources.
On another note, the dating niche that I’ve been working on is finally being uploaded to my YSM account as I write this. Here are the stats on that:
- 16,665 Keywords
- 26 Ad Groups
- 16 Text Ads per Ad Group
- CPC: 0.10
- Daily Budget: $5.00
I’m probably going to let this one loose tomorrow as soon as everything gets approved. I’m just waiting on my text ads to get approved.
Anyway, that’s the scoop on this project! Hopefully I can start making profits on these new niches soon!!
