Some Cool New PPC Tools on AffPortal

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:17:41 +0000

PPC Coach just recently released a new Month 1 method last month, and I’ve been having some really good success with it. I can’t say what it is specifically, but I’ve been averaging about $100/day with it regularly on the Google Content Network. Although it has taken me quite awhile to master the nuances of the content network, I’ve been slowly figuring out how to consistently get good traffic at a cheap price with it.

One of my secrets to my recent success is due to the tools found at Affportal. Affportal is a membership site that hosts a bunch of awesome tools. Most of these tools are completely unique and I’ve never seen anywhere else. Although the site hosts several cool PPV tools which are great in their own right, I wanted to share with you guys a couple of PPC tools on the site that I’ve been playing with.

The first PPC tool is called Deep and Wide keywords. For those not familiar with the terms, deep keywords are the keywords directly related to your term. So example deep keywords for the term “pay per click” might be “pay per click coaching”, and “pay per click tools”. Wide keywords are more losely related to your keyword, so for the same example, keywords like “affiliate marketing” and “google adwords” would be wide keywords. Usually, people use deep keywords with the pay per click campaigns, but I’m finding some really profitable keywords targeting these wide keywords. The bid prices are often less, yet the conversions are almost just as good. Plus, I’m getting more impressions because my keywords are targeting a wide variety of sites.

The second PPC tool I wanted to mention is the Keyword Mashup Generator. This tool is the ultimate keyword expander. Keyword Elite 2.0 has a similar feature where you can add prefixes and suffixes to each of your keywords, but this tool also does a lot more. For example, you can add states, cities, and other categories of words automatically to your keywords. The tool contains a ton of options, and I’ve been using this tool to quickly multiple my list of keywords. Adding the cities and states to your keywords is also a great way to do local campaigns. If you drill down far enough with your keywords, you can easily compete for highly competitive keywords (like car insurance) that you would have no chance with otherwise.

AffPortal was developed by Corey Bornmann. I think he is or was a PPC Coach member as well. Anyway, the site contains a ton of really cool tools, so I recommend that people take a look and check it out. I think they’ll make a big difference in your PPC (and PPV) campaigns.

Best Poll Creation Tools

Thu, 16 Jul 2009 21:01:54 +0000

I have been using Poll Control for quite some time now to create my polls. It’s pretty good for churning out polls, but it did cost me $20 to buy. I wanted to take my polls to the next level though and add in some things like offer rotation and double-meta-refresh to cloak my links. I also wanted to build a site around my polls to hopeefully avoid the dreaded Google slap.

After doing some research on the PPC Coach forums, I was able to find two alternatives that seemed like they would fit the bill – WP Quick Polls and WP Easy Polls. Both are wordpress plugins that enable you to add polls to your wordpress blog. WP Quick Polls seems like it has a lot of different options. However, it costs $49.95 and I am not sure I really want to shell out significant money for a poll creation tool.

WP Easy Polls is developed by my buddy Chris who I actually referred to PPC Coach more than a year ago. For some reason, he’s giving away this poll creation tool to PPC Coach members for free. I just tried it out, and this thing is awesome for launching polls. I’ve installed it on my poll site, and got it working with PPC Coach Tracker. It can handle offer rotations which makes things sooo much easier to test now. It is really simple to use and the built-in themes are really great. Anyway, check it out if you are making Polls. It’s really been making my life a lot easier.

TAKE IT SLOW!

Douglas — Tue, 03 Feb 2009 12:41:10 +0000

My strategy is to set a bid at a certain amount and lower it by a very small amount, but only like twice a day. I went ahead and pushed it by lowering it by $0.08 cents, and then now I am getting crap impressions. GREAT! Now I have to start over and have anyother losing campaign day. So learn from my mistake, do not lower the bid costs in a dramactic amount. Slow and easy will win the race.

Raise your impressions for a campaign

Douglas — Mon, 02 Feb 2009 03:30:20 +0000

Sometimes, when I see some of my campaigns dying, in terms of impressions. A good strategy for you to bring those impressions back up, or just add on more impressions, is to add more keywords. However, that also means you would need tweak those new keywords. PPC campaigns will always require somewhat of a maintenance.

I applied this method to one of my campaigns already, and I’ll post up some results after tomorrow.

A way to increase profit margin

Douglas — Fri, 30 Jan 2009 01:27:02 +0000

I know this is a small scampaign, but I just wanted to use it as an example. However, this can also work and you will see a lot more of a noticable difference with a larger campaign. So the day before yesterday, I spent ~$3.59 with average CPC of $0.13 in adwords. I tweaked the campaign by lowering my bids by $0.02 and then it dropped my average CPC to $0.10. I spent less money on adwords, but I still got the a similar amount of impressions, so I ended up profitting more. I was able to maintain the same conversion percentage, but I spent less for advertising and kept more to myself.
