Ad Infiltration & Placement Targeting

A while back I told you about Ad Infiltration. Now Steve released Ad Infiltration twice before (once at Wealthy Affiliate and the second time as a WSO) and both times they sold out in under an hour.

Now Steve is re-releasing Ad Infiltration on Tuesday so if you've been wanting to do some placement targeting campaigns then you definitely should pick this up.

It would make no sense to do placement targeting without knowing what you're doing..that can cause some serious financial damage...either that or less than stellar results money wise.

If you're not sure what I'm talking about when I say placement targeting it isn't anything new. Its advertising on the content network by choosing the sites that you want to advertise on. This means that you are in control of where your traffic is coming from.

What Ad Infiltration will show you is:

• How to set up placement targetting campaigns
• How you can automate the process
• How to get super high click thru rates
• How you can get less than 1 cent clicks
• What not to do
• More cool stuff...

Ad Infiltration is launching again on Tuesday at 12pm EST so make sure you do get a copy.

Do You Click On The Ads?

So you're an affiliate and you want to research your competition...see what they're doing. Do you click on the ads?

I hope you said no. If you said, "duh, how else am I supposed to see what my competition is doing" then read this post in its entirety.

By now you know that clicking on the ads charge some good affiliate out there for that click. If you're an affiliate yourself and use adwords its kinda unfair because you wouldn't like someone clicking on your ads now would you? Especially if they're not going to complete the desired action.

So how do you actually see the landing page without charging your fellow affiliates?

Here's how:

1. right click on the ad you want to view.
2. Select properties
3. Copy the url and paste it into the browser.

At this point you should have something looking like this:

google.com/pagead/iclk?sa=l&ai=BDqCsGsxtR4byojee&num=4&adurl=http://www.beatingadwords.com

Note the part on the end with the destination url.

4. Delete everthing else in your browser leaving the destination url (bolded in the above example)
5. Click enter and you see what your competition is doing...without charging them for the click.

Another way to do this is to use research tools like Wealthy Affiliate's Research Top Listings tool. The tool shows the top listings and their destination urls so you can look at their landing pages without charging the affiliate or advertiser for the click.

So the next time you're doing some research...be considerate to your fellow advertisers...competition or not.

Steve Goltiao's Ad Infiltration

I recently got a copy of an ebook by Wealthy Affiliate member Steve Goltiao called Ad Infiltration.

The ebook reveals how Steve was able to get some rather low cpcs of under 1 cent! No, really...I read the book. He also reveals how he managed CTRs of up to 64.70%!

Yeah its pretty amazing and not many people are doing PPC like this. Steve is stealing (legally) from his competitors and they are allowing him...jeez, do I sound like a liar, already?

The ebook is pretty eye opening and although the method has been around for a while now, there's not much material written about it and is pretty much unexplored. Steve's Ad Infiltration is a really good read and anyone who gets their hand on this is going to make a lot of money in highly competitive niches.

The limited release of 100 copies sold out in just under an hour but Steve's gonna be launching pretty soon as a WSO on the Warrior Forum. You can get on the notification list by going to Ad Infiltration.

Using Google Adwords Coupons.

More than likely if you're here at this blog then you have an adwords account already.

If however you are thinking about getting an adwords account then you might want to think about getting a Google Adwords coupon for when you sign up.

Google Adwords coupons allow you to get some free money for PPC so that you can do some test campaigns and try out adwords. Maybe you will burn through the extra credit before burning your own money but hopefully you will make some money off it and be profiting before using your own money.

You can do a search on Google for Google Adwords coupons or if you have hosting or know a friend that does some webhosts include them.

Don't ever buy Google Adwords coupons... its really amazing how some people make money off innocent people just because they don't know any better. Coupons are always free.

Conquering Adwords.

Conquering adwords was no easy task for me (is it for anyone), but after 2 years with one year which went absolutely terrible, I think I have finally done what I didn't think I could do - beat adwords.

When I started out I thought I could just put my link in, put thousands of keywords in an adgroup and call that a campaign. Well I would get sales but the $30 I would earn would have usually costed about $30 to get. But I was happy though until those sales dried up and I was just feeding Google dollar bills. This was around the time when the Google Cash method was popular.

Of course we know Google didn't like that and started slapping people. Ouch - thats when I quit.

Until this year when I joined the best membership site I would call home. Thats when I finally shook off the fear and went back into those waters...and it happened.

I was finally putting up relevant campaigns that were researched, with relevant landing pages, tight adgroups that matched my ads with a catchy headline and click pulling call to actions. I tracked landing page to merchant clickthru, assessed my click to sale ratio - tweaked and benefited from some nice roi.

I felt comfortable with Google again - I had conquered adwords.

I'm now here to help you do the same...
