How To Choose An Affiliate Program By Vlad Z

If you are looking to join an affiliate program, you may benefit from the following steps that can help you to determine whether or not a particular affiliate program is suitable for you.

Things to consider before joining affiliate program.

1. If you were the customer, would you buy products or services that you about to advertise as an affiliate? This may sound like a hypothetical question but in my opinion this is very important question and the answer to it determines your interest in the products/services. If you can step into the shoes of customer looking for particular product/service, you will be able to understand better to what extend the customer will go to determine the “true” value of the product and the best way to purchase it.

2. Look what kind of links your advertiser offers you to help you to promote their products. Sometimes you will be able to create links that will link only to home page of advertisers website. It is always better to find advertisers that will offer so called “deep linking”, allowing you to create affiliate links to particular products and services instead just to a home page.

3. Consider the conversion rate. Many companies have affiliate managers who oversee the affiliate programs. Thy will be happy to provide you with statistical data of how well their websites tend to convert visitors into customers. This information is of particular importance to you if you will be employing pay per click advertising to promote your website.

4. Payment schedule. Some advertisers will not send payments unless minimum threshold is reached. Amazon, for example, will not issue payments unless an affiliate earned $25 in one quarter. Also some companies, like Amazon, will pay their affiliates only once a quarter.

The above steps are important but if you use them, let them be as starting points in examining particular affiliate program. After you have joined an affiliate program there is one more step I would recommend to take, if possible: make a test purchase. Choose the cheapest product or service and make a purchase. This will accomplish tow things atone time. If, after you purchased a product, you see in your reporting that commission appeared in your account, your affiliate links are working properly and your advertisers reporting is not compromised.

Affiliate marketing is challenging but yet it is very rewarding at the same time.

AdSense Profit From Google AdWords By Casey Yew

Advertisements collected through Google AdWords system are shown on AdSense websites. When an AdSense publisher starts to buy traffic through Google AdWords for his AdSense site, he becomes an AdSense arbitrager. AdSense arbitrage is one of the AdSense business strategies that publishers could implement to make AdSense profit.

Is AdSense arbitrage a fraud to Google? No, Google allows AdSense arbitrage. As a matter of fact, the more AdSense arbitrage, the more Google could make from AdWords.

The success of AdSense arbitrage depends on the amount spend on traffic and the profits AdSense arbitrager gets from AdSense so long the cost of buying traffic does not exceed the earnings from the AdSense.


AdSense arbitragers need to make good profit from AdSense to cover the cost. One way to boost AdSense profit is by creating contents with high paying keywords. These contents normally get ads that pay higher. Therefore, high paying keywords are necessary for a successful AdSense arbitrage.

Keyword research tools such as Digitalpoint Keyword Suggestion Tool are used to locate the most searched keywords. With these keywords, AdSense arbitragers can obtain a list of high paying keywords using Google AdWords. By maximizing bid for each keyword, arbitragers can obtain the estimated highest cost per click (CPC) for each keyword.

However, the estimated highest CPC of each keyword obtained from AdWords does not reflect the real competition for that keyword. The highest bid price could be raised by one advertiser whereas majority advertisers are bidding for the same keyword at lower price. Besides, the estimated highest CPC could not reflect the true CPC of each keyword at regional level. Cost per click in different regions can be different as the competition for the same keyword in each region varies. Nonetheless, based on this list of highest CPC, AdSense arbitragers are able to discover the potential market for arbitrage.

AdSense arbitragers will then build a website targeting a set of chosen high paying keywords. Proper use of meta tags, title text and good quality content would increase the relevancy of ads and hence help the website to get high paying ads.

Low paying keywords from the most searched keywords list are used in the AdWords campaign drive traffic to the new website. AdSense arbitragers can include as many low paying keywords as possible in AdWords campaign and start each keyword with a minimum bid.

Run the AdWords campaign for a week or two to get the average earning per click. Increase the bid price or broaden the low paying keywords list if it can increase your AdSense arbitrage profits. Many other form of paid traffic can be used for AdSense arbitrage. Many smaller pay per click search engines could bring decent traffic collectively for less money.

AdSense arbitrage depends on high click through rate (CTR). Well position and well blended-in ads will induce high click through rate. Quality contents that provide values will attract quality audiences. These targeted audiences are more likely to turn into customers for advertisers. The higher quality audience your website sends to advertiser’s site, the less likely it would be smart priced.

The success of arbitrage can be shattered by unpredictable click through rate and fluctuation of keyword value. The cost spent on AdWords could easily exceed the profit from AdSense. The arbitrage process has to be monitored closely and constantly.

To capitalize the efforts and money spent on paid traffic, other form of monetized techniques such as affiliate marketing or name capturing form should be used to target those not converted AdSense audiences. With these mechanisms in place, efforts and money spent on paid traffic would not be wasted.
