warning if you are using adult traffic some cpa networks will ban you
another question, what is the typical conversion rate? i need to know how much i can afford to pay for traffic.
conversion value i assume is about a dollar?
hopefully you can get 15-20%
Cheap content clicks on Google.
Here's how I find my keywords for this.
1. You need Keyword Elite, or Ad Word Analyzer (though Keyword Elite would be ideal for this). What you are looking for is keywords that have searches (usually I aim for more than 500 searches), and have 0-4 Adwords campaigns.
The logic behind this is that anything you find with less than 5 campaigns should appear in a Adsense contextual adblock on a website with related content. And, since there are less than 4 campaigns, you should be able to bid the Content network minimum, which is .01 (although I bid .02-.04, depending on the subject).
Next: Ruck talked a little bit about this on his blog: writing the ad. Let them KNOW you want them to submit a email, zip, whatever in the ad. It cuts joyrider clicks WAY down, and conditions them to do what you told them they were going to do, which is give info over.
My Content ad says something like this:
Emeril : Hot Or Not?
Vote In Our Poll - Enter Email
For a big, big prize.
mysite.com/Emeril
So they know what they are doing, and when they get there, they are prepared to do it. Simple.
That's just about it about how you go about dat dere. Cheers.
yragcom1, you're a genius. what a brilliant way to get traffic at 1 cent!
teh only thing is i can't figure out keyword elite for the life of me. i've tried it about half a dozen times and it never tells me how many searches there are. it only gives me a bunch of variations on a search term...
I'll go over it in a nutshell. Put main keyword in Project 1. Select Ask, Google, FreeKeywords. Select about 3000-5000 to return. More than that and KE usually flips out. On the right side there are text boxes to include copy. In the box that indicates includes, put your main keyword. Hit run.
In Report view, in text box "Only Show Phrases Containing", put your keyword. This will cause only the keywords with your main keyword to appear in the results. Also choose "remove phrases with "6" words", and "remove unwanted characters".
After the Project 1 run, you'll have a list of keywords with the main keyword in them. Select them all with Control-a, right click them to send to Project 2.
In Project 2, select which engines you want (in this case, Google). Click the Filters button and put in this criteria. Select "searches", and put 500 as minimum and 1000000 as maximum. Select "Google campaigns" and set 0 as minimum, and 4 as the maximum. Hit Ok, and hit OK in the Project 2 start box.
At the end of the run, you've got a list of Google words for content network use that A. Have little competition, and B. Costs a penny to run on Google content network.
