Google Adsense; Affiliate Tips To Make It Work

Nov 14, 2009 Advertising

Your SEO and PPC efforts and the traffic that they generate can easily be channeled into great profits through the smart use of affiliate marketing. Essentially, you allow Google to place advertisements on your website using their AdSense service, and you will earn a commission for every person who click on these ads. While you won’t earn huge amounts of money at once, the dollars and cents can add up, dependent upon the price of every click you transmit. Here’s the jist of it all : you’ll generate a profit form these clicks as long as you’re spending less money to get them than the rewards that you receive.

With Google AdSense promotions, it’s all about paying less than what the clicks you’re delivering is paying you. There are ways to find long-tail search terms, pay at a low cost-per-click, to get traffic to your site. Say you are promoting a high-dollar click on your website like DUI Attorney. That click on Google costs around $30+ per click, so the commission you will earn from AdSense will be much higher than a click that would cost $3 per click.

So lets say you find some inexpensive long-tail keyword search terms like DUI Attorney Pasadena, CA. And since you’ll bid for a lower position (say at .25 per click), you hope to get the lower-cost clicks to get people to your site.

From here, the content of your website should add value to these clicks by providing things like articles on DUI, or reprinting traffic reports local to Pasadena. These things will attract people to what you have to offer even more through our AdSense advertisement, and you can profit by $1 for each click. This this scenario, the profit that you receive from your 25 cent investment is very fair, but it’s also a practice that’s filled with risk, and it might be expensive if this audience doesn’t actually result in a majority of conversions. There have been plenty of people who have failed at purchasing low-cost clicks and attempting to resell them at their websites. If you invest money, and time to make mistakes, you’ll eventually discover your own perfect combination of factors to create a profit.

OR, you can invest that time in a wiser fashion by focusing on SEO as a source for those long-tail search keywords. You can do the same amount of work, get words that are less competitive, and if your page is correctly optimized, you will be better off in the long run. No matter your CTR, you are going to end up having to invest less of your capital in the venture. Your time is going to be the biggest investment you will have to make. Once you have invested the necessary time, whether you end up making a lot of money in this venture or only a little, it is not going to cost you anything out of your own wallet.
