Using Ads for Traffic

There are many places to purchase paid traffic for your web page or blog. Facebook and other social media sites can generate a lot of traffic on a very small budget. Generally speaking you’ll have to setup a campaign and then optimize it to get positive results. Many of these resources will not be profitable right from the beginning, but if you are patient, you can optimize pretty quickly and start to seeing some long term profit.

Converting Keywords

Let me stop you in your tracks before you ask me for “converting keywords”.

• First of all, I really don’t have them.

• Secondly, each ad and set of keywords you use will convert differently on each network.

• Thirdly, you want to create less competition for yourself by seeing what keywords work for you.

There are a lot of keyword tools out there, many which cost money, but the google keyword tool is free and is a good starting point here:

Tracking Your Campaign

Name your campaign and run many different versions of the ad. Try changing the target audience, the ad picture, your title and the content of the ad. At the end of each ad be sure to ad tracking IDs so you can see what is working and what is not. That is the single key to creating ads that work. I have run ten ads at the same time in the same campaign. You can not just set this up and let it run. You must watch and track and tweak your ads otherwise you will be waisting money.

CPC and CPM

I have tried both these types of ads before and have had more luck with CPC. At first it seem cheaper to pay for impressions but after running your first campaign you will see that you receive millions of impressions. Look for conversion rates of about 3% at first.

Redirecting multiple Sites to Your Site

What I suggest you do is purchase a domain from someone like GoDaddy. It can even be a .info domain that costs about a buck. I just looked up monsterdiet.info on GoDaddy and it cost $.89. You can then use their forwarding feature to set your new .info domain to forward to your main page. Furthermore, they will provide you with the ability to create subdomains on your domain.

Potential Ad Networks

Google

We love Google and they are certainly the biggest ad network out there. That being said they are also the most saturated. In addition they are not very trusting of anything “MLM”, no matter how much integrity we have, and they like to turn our traffic on and off like a light switch. I have compiled a list of other networks below. If you can master making money on networks other than Google, you’ll be a King (or Queen) of the Internet Marketing World without question.

This is a list of other Ad Networks that I am aware of:

There are certainly even more ad networks than what I have listed here, but this should give you a good start to look into.
