Change my writing style as in trying to approach it a little bit differently…
Providing a little more info
Cutting my word count down
Throwing in some bullet points
Different niches require some trial and error — I’ll get this one
No, I do not purchase the products to promote them. As far as what you need to know? I’d say just using common sense is enough. I’m sure everyone can come up with enough generic info on just about any topic
Quick question. .when you redirect to the affiliate site do you just buy a domain name (ie. http://www.lose-weight-fast.com) and then just set that domain to redirect to the clickbank sales page (obviously with your clickbank id attached)?
Just curious as I know eza doesn’t allow direct linking to affiliate sites. . .
The articles were not even indexed when I got all of that traffic.
You can see the keywords that I used just by right clicking and viewing the source code…but, for the penis enlargement I used the keywords “make penis bigger” and the weight loss I used “lose weight fast”
The key for me is I try to submit my articles in a HIGH TRAFFIC CATEGORY. The high traffic categories have a ton of traffic in them from other articles in the same category that rank well in the search engines. So, when they click on another article in the search engines - they get taken to that category where they see my article title in the “other recently submitted”. This is part of the reason that you want to make sure that your article title is going to “grab attention”.
I did in fact type ‘make penis bigger’ on google - I was brought to a different ezine article for this keyword - which I clicked on (and was brought to the other article presumably for the same keyword). I did look for your article in the ‘recently submitted’ and did not see it - this could maybe because I missed it (it was late) - or maybe the other article was submitted under a different category??
I will pay closer attention to today’s article stats..
1.) First off, are people really that stupid to believe the penis is a muscle and can be exercised as such? It’s mind blowing to me that article is your best performer. You have really opened my eyes with this one in that Marketing is a lot easier than what I thought it would be!
2.) I am completely new to this, but from what I have read you want to give information about what a person is searching for. When I read the title to your penis enlargement article, I am assuming that I am going to get information about how to make my penis bigger using my own hands within the article. However, you simply are telling me what doesn’t work or how dangerous an alternative is and if I want the information that the article title contains, I must click the resource box link. Is that an effective strategy for any niche?
3.) What criteria do you follow to determine if you are going to move ahead with a full blown campaign? What criteria do you follow to determine a niche is not worth pursuing? Is there an average percentage that a simple redirect converts at? I am assuming it is under 1% as you have not made a sale with almost 100 URL clicks.
4.) This might be a stupid question but, why did you choose those particular keywords for your articles? Did you arbitrarily choose them from your list or did you have a specific reason?
1. Are they stupid to believe that? From reading over the sales page, that is pretty much what they claim. It is up to the consumer to decide whether they believe it or not, right?
2. I gave them information in the article. However, if they want to find out what the exercises are, they are going to have to buy the product. That is kind of the point, right? If I bought the product and then gave the exact techniques, why would they buy it?
3. I decide whether to turn it into a full blown campaign based on the amount of money that comes in. In the boot camp previous to this one, I made almost $1,300 off of an affiliate product and am now pretty much locked out of the niche because 700 other people are also promoting it I will definitely give you a general idea of how the campaigns are doing, but I will not be showing income again, for the same reason. The point of this whole thing is to show you how to generate traffic with articles. I can assure you though that If I stay in a niche that it is profitable. If the traffic that I get from this niche doesn’t convert to affiliate sales, it will still be an adsense earner just from the sheer volume of traffic I can get from it.
4. Because I am just “running traffic” today, I didn’t put a whole lot of thought into the keywords for these articles. I just wanted to get as much traffic as I could to see if this particular product would convert. So far it hasn’t. So, what that means is tomorrow, I will more than likely be sending the traffic to a different sales page in the same niche to see if that sales page converts visitors to buyers any better.
Here’s the thing….
Article Marketing is one of the easiest things you can do. The whole key is TRAFFIC. Once you know you can get traffic you can do anything you want with it. You can build a list, pitch CPA offers, sell affiliate products, monetize the traffic with Adsense. Today showed me that with this niche, I can get a couple hundred visitors a day easily probably, just submitting 2 or 3 articles a day.
The key is not to complicate the process. Don’t try to push your perception of what an article should or shouldn’t be on your readers. Enough of them clicked on the link so, obviously it was written in a way that the people reading it felt compelled to click the link to get more info.
If sales convert from this then I will set up a page — probably 5 or 6 of them and promote the bejeezus out of them until I get good rankings via SEO.

Thanks for the quick reply!
Are you going to go over the components of a good landing page or is that out of the scope of what you are trying to do here? It would be helpful if you could just find a good example of a landing page and explain why it is good.
We can go over pretty much any thing that you guys want to within reason
I’ll see what we can’t put together.

The other niches that you entered from the other bootcamp - I know that you had stopped promoting them. Could you let me/us know if those articles are still in fact generating revenue?
In your No. 4 answer to Bruce’s queries, you said…
“I will more than likely be sending the traffic to a different sales page in the same niche…”
Can you please elaborate on how to do that? Will you edit the article’s resource box to edit your links and then re-submit it? Or will you just submit new articles with links to another sales page?

I’m having the same issue. All of the videos are run from Amazon S3 — maybe they are having issues?
I’m working on it now

What do you mean by change the writing style ?
Do you buy the products you promote ? If not, what do you like (need) to know about it in order to promote it effectively ?

Hi Jeremy,
Great stuff so far!
Quick question. .when you redirect to the affiliate site do you just buy a domain name (ie. http://www.lose-weight-fast.com) and then just set that domain to redirect to the clickbank sales page (obviously with your clickbank id attached)?
Just curious as I know eza doesn’t allow direct linking to affiliate sites. . .
Thanks in advance!

Yes, that is exactly how you do it. EZA has no problems with you redirecting from domain of your own.
I’m doing it this way now just trying to see if the products convert or not before I go through the time and expense of building a couple of websites

Do you have a screen available in ezine articles that shows what keywords were entered that drove traffic to your articles?
