1) Contain what your site is about. From the standpoint of someone who doesn’t know much about having one’s own website, when one searches the internet for an information, one would like to easily find the relevant information she or he is looking for. Rarely would one go through the whole list of sites that are relevant or containing one or two words keywords. One would only go over the first few sites and use the first site containing relevant information. Make it convenient to locate and find your site.

2) Be specific and use hyphens if you must. Think of it as writing your own address. It’s like providing spaces and appropriate commas and periods in your address. When you asks friends to visit you, they would have an easier time locating the address “12345 176^th St., Artesia, CA, 90701” than locate “12345176thStArtesiaCA”.

Affiliate and Internet Marketing are  relatively new ideas to me.  I just browsed through the web to get myself acquainted with affiliate marketing and internet marketing.  My reaction now:  “That’s great and it sounds good!” I am still amazed. Today after hours of learning I feel like im starting to build a solid foundation.

But by doing what I love and what I usually do — write a blog post like I am writing a journal, I can utilize Internet Marketing to earn myself some money. Now, the idea isn’t far fetched.

Pay per click (PPC) is a means to advertise business through the use of keywords/phrases in the search engines. The advertiser is required to only pay for each click that sends a visitor to his website. Search engines such as Overture, Google Adwords, Search Yahoo and Miva are just some examples of search engines. They offer top positions among the sponsored listings for particular keywords/phrases you choose. The idea for bidding is you have to buy/bid on keywords/phrases relevant to your business. The highest bidder gets to be on the top of the search result listing and the second highest bidder, of course, gets the next top listing and so on. Every time a visitor clicks on your website, you will have to pay the same amount that you bid on that particular keyword.

PPC can be very costly, time consuming and sometimes not worthy. But if you know how to go about the step by step procedures, PPC is a welcome change to traditional advertising.

If you do your searches for products, articles and auctions in the net, you usually type in a keyword or a set of phrase to guide you in your search. Either you use Google or Yahoo Search depending on where you are most comfortable at and where you usually get the best results. As soon as you key in the search button, immediately a long list of keywords or phrase will be displayed containing the keywords you key in. The first or the top link that you saw is most likely the one who bids the highest for that keyword you type. In this way, businessmen will produce the desired results; they get to be advertised, at the same time, saving and spending only for the clicks they need that might translate to potential sales.

The way to start PPC bid management is to identify first the maximum cost per click (CPC) you are willing to pay for a given keyword or phrase. CPC varies from time and even search engine to search engine too. Maximum CPC can be measured by averaging the current costs of bids (bids range from $0.25 to $5). Average of these bids is to be used as the maximum CPC to begin with. As your ad campaign progresses, the actual conversion rate (visitors turning to potential buyers/sales) will be determined and you may have to adjust your CPC (bidding rate) accordingly.

When you start to bid, see to it that you adopt different bidding strategies for various search engines. Search engines have their own PPC systems that require different approaches. It is also worthy to identify different bids for the same keyword phrases in various search engines.

Another thing, it is wiser not to bid for the top spot for two reasons: 1) It is very expensive and impractical, and 2) Surfers usually try different search queries in various search engines before they settle on the right one that fits to what they are looking for. This hardly results to conversion. Try to bid for the fifth spot instead and work your way up.

If you are now going steady on your PPC biddings, it is time for you to develop your own bidding strategy accordingly. It is important for you to track down which sites bring the bulk of your traffic and identify the ranking of your paid ads. This will help your bidding strategy to be effective and you should also decide where you want your ad to be positioned. Usually your maximum CPC will limit your choices.

Bid gaps (e.g. $ 0.40, 0.39, bid gap, 0.20, 0.19, 0.18) occur when there is a significant price increase to move up one spot in the PPC rankings. It is best if you take advantage of the bid gaps by filling them in so you can save up your cents to other bidding opportunities. Often there are keywords worthy of lesser bids to get the appropriate ranking on the list and produce a good number of clicks and higher conversion rate rather than bidding higher but having a poor conversion rate. You have to put in mind that overbidding too is not good but rather the best position for the most effective bid.

Using pay-per-click bid management in promoting your website will only be successful if you take time building many lists across many engines and studying the performance of every listing. In this way, you can make the most value from what you spend in the bidding process.  The key is to use the necessary precautions to stay ahead of the competition.

Bid Management Tools

In ensuring best results, you may use bid management tools. There are accepted and approved management tools that will help you in your bidding. They are categorized in two different types:

•    Web based (services by monthly subscription) or,
•    PC based (a purchased software)

Monitoring tools too may help in the tracking down of your keywords/phrases and search engines as to which among them often generate sales, overall and in relation to your cost per click. This is what you call return of investment (ROI) monitoring.

These bid management tools may include additional functions that may not get from online marketing tools that are readily available. Other tools can monitor competitor’s bids, produce reports for different parties and offer the ability to interface with multiple PPC engines. This is particularly helpful to those who manage more than a hundred keywords across several PPC engines to boost productivity and save time.

Pay-per-click bid management is ideal for the effective promotion of your business online without the hassles of draining your financial keeping too much. It is now fast catching up as a means used in marketing your goods and services to reach to as many consumers as possible.

Media Buying is often talked about as being an intimidating experience and marketing practice among smaller or less active affiliates. I can tell you from being an Affiliate Marketer myself all the way up to a Co-Owner in an Affiliate Network that media buying is far from intimidating. It does take a little practice and intuition but after today you should have a better grip on what is possible.

First of all I can tell you that buying advertising on other web properties is all this consists of. There is no secret formula here. You find a website, you pay the owner, you have your ad on the website and you either make money or dont. Personally over the last year I have gotten sick almost to the point of disgust of building up domains and site properties that Google thinks are good enough to not be slapped throughout its Adwords Advertising channel. It kind of reminds me of when I had a job. I didnt get rewarded unless I did what someone else wanted. I really hate working this way and so Media Buying became an interest to me.

Now, I want to keep this short and simple. We can have all the Media Buying discussions we want in the forum but for today, I am just going to give a small dose of an easy way to find website properties for further research that ultimately could end with your ads on their properties.

I simply go to Alexa and on the right side of the site you should see a blue box labeled “Traffic Rankings”. Right under the “free” section you should click on Categories. Voila, you are now presented with an arsenal of sites with tons of information regarding them.

A simple Media Buy would be to look at an offer and calculate the demographics for the offer. If it’s a stop smoking offer you could browse Alexa in the Health –> Addiction category. I dont really stop here because Alexa is very vague. With advertising rates you want to know where you can absolutely squash the living piss out of what someone charges you compared to what you make. Returns on Investment can literally be in the 5,000% ranges if you acquire the research and socialization skills needed to proceed with a successful media buy.

Things I personally do on qualifying a site from an Alexa Category:

1. I look at the traffic rank in Alexa. Today it almost means dogshit but it gives me just enough motivation to copy/paste that domain into Quantcast and Compete for even more accurate information. These sites give up a ton of information regarding the site and demographics. An absolute must in understanding the relationship your offer will play in the eyes of people visiting the sites you are advertising on.

2. How well the site is laid out and ad placement. Truth be known that most of the time you are not going to find Cost per click placements. It just doesn’t happen so much. Most of the time you are going to deal with flat service fees or pay per CPM ( per 1000 impressions). In the case that you are paying by the CPM, it is important to note that your ad placement be located above the fold. Paying on CPM basis when you are at the bottom of the page is almost (not always) suicide.

3. How smart are the sales reps or webmasters whom you contact to advertise with. This is by far one of the things you need to learn and learn it damn quick. The more savvy, serious and almost bitch-like you are, the better chance you have had nudging them into a deal where you ultimately laugh each and every month at the pathetic prices you are paying compared to the return on investment.

Get good at being savvy. Tell them you want to test how good their traffic is. Let them know that you are serious about a longterm and prosperous advertising relationship but you would like to gauge the effectiveness of their traffic. If you go jumping at first because you are excited you got the deal in the first place and lose money then you are even more retarded than you were before you read this paragraph. You absolutely want to do everything in your power to gauge the traffic and their response before paying up the full price for the term of the campaign. If all else fails then it’s a judgement call on your part.

I can tell you that it beats building new landing pages, optimizing, fighting competitors and all the headaches that comes with Pay Per Click marketing. I would not consider this a replacement but yet another advertising source to pack into your arsenal. Be sure to visit the forum and start your own Q & A thread on Media buying and we will jump in there with personal examples and case studies of what we have done on this side of the marketing arena.

Six figure blog marketing is more than likely not done with one single blog. It would take many many blogs to create a six figure income, and if you have the funds and the resources, it could be done. The first thing that you would need to do is find out the markets that are low in competition but are high in the search engine rankings. Doing so will give you a great idea of what you should be marketing in your blog and what you should stay away from. Finding a niche market that is barely touched in the world of internet marketing is the best thing to do. However, you then have to decide if the niche markets that you have discovered are ones that you are interested in. Some start out with things that they know and get great results, whether they are niche markets or not.

When the goal is six figure blog marketing, you are going to find out real fast that outsourcing some work to others is not a bad idea. Doing all of the work yourself is not something that is possible when you are wanting to make that amount of money. Just be sure that you hire those that you can trust and have a great reputation for getting work done on time and accurately. You will not want your workers to put you behind schedule.

While you are planning to outsource some of your work to others, you may want to decide and get an outline of just what is needed and the priority. Perhaps you need someone to set up your many blogs, or maybe you need someone else to write the content for the blogs. You can easily find experts on particular markets that you are wanting to blog about and pay them for the rights to their articles. Then post them as needed on your blog.

When you start looking to make a six figure income with your blogs, you are going to see that you will need to be sure that they are all updated in a timely manner. You are going to have to update them as often as possible, and maybe even hire help to be sure that everything goes smoothly with that as well.

Making a six figure income with blogs is the ideal work at home job. You make great money, and have great people working for you. Just be sure that you hire those that know what they are doing and are fluent in the language that you are marketing in as well. Someone that speaks and writes poor English will not help your income, but may hurt it if you have English based readers.
