Hey everyone, I'm pretty much new so I was wondering do you need to create your own landing page to be able to run goolge image ads or can you somehow have a domain which will redirect them to the sales page without having to create your own landing page? Thank you!

Creating ur own LP will be good idea rather than redirecting directly

whats an LP could you please explain how to do that or anyone? Thank you very much..

lmao, LP=Landing Page

LP means landing page. It is a good idea to:
a) get your own domain
b) get a web hosting account
c) create a landing page, at least consisting of a couple HTML files. Blog posts are easy to figure out.

Make sure you collect the name & e-mail address of your PPC traffic BEFORE you send them off to the offer on the CPA network you are promoting.

You'll build a huge list that you can promote other CPA offers to and not have to pay for the lead you have on your list again.

To add my 2 cents, I have bought a domain and redirected my traffic directly to the affiliate offer while advertising on the google content network. But I stopped the campaign due to the offer being dropped from the network. So I do not know if things have changed since then.

But if I was you, I would just register a free account with tracking 202/prosper202 and use their tracking service to redirect the traffic to the affiliate offer. This still works today for sure because I know an affiliate who does this.

1) For most offers you'll want to create a landing page however I've recently had some successes with direct linking.
2) You need to track everything tracking202/prosper202 are free I suggest you checkout these.
The reason you need to track is so you can figure out what keywords are converting for you or which ones aren't and ditch them.
Often you'll find people say "PPC doesn't work" and then you'll see they have 60 clicks for a specific keyword at $0.15cpc 0 conversions for an offer that's paying $1.25.

Also publishers comment on collecting email addresses is extremely valuable!
