April 10, 2004

Hi,

If you read my blog you know I use both relevant and general/broad keywords in my Google AdWords campaigns.

I'd like to explain how I use AdWords in order to get the best traffic for the money I spend.

When I have an AdWords campaign for a product I want my ad to show up in one of the top three Google positions on the Google search results page for the most targeted, relevant keywords for my product. These are the keywords that people are using in order to find very specific things. 

For example, if I'm selling an ebook on starting a window washing business, a keyword phrase like "how to start a window washing business" is more relevant than the keyword phrase "home based business." So the first phrase is more likely to
bring better quality traffic to my website. If my website sales copy is good then I'll make some sales. On the other hand I'll probably get more click throughs from the more general keyword phrase "home based business," however, odds are
that the percentage of people who actually buy will be a lot less than from the visitors from the first, more specific keyword phrase.

When I use keywords with Google AdWords I am willing to bid higher prices for the most relevant keywords. I usually like to get in one of the top three positions on the Google results page. That is providing the keyword cost is reasonable.

Otherwise I try to get in one of the first eight positions since these are the ones that are shown on the first page of the Google search results page and also on the AOL search results page.

Also, in many cases you will have to pay higher keyword bids for the most relevant keywords since there is usually a lot of competition for them from other advertisers. So although general keyword bids dilute the quality of my visitors, it also lowers my overall keyword bid average cost.

When it comes to the general keywords I make my bids a lot lower, often as low as five cents each if possible. I want some of this general keyword traffic, but I don't want to pay much for it. When I'm having a good sales day for the product then I will often raise the bids for these general keywords. I do just the opposite when sales are bad. I always keep my relevant keyword bids at the same level.

You could use just the targeted, relevant keywords if you really wanted to control the quality of your traffic and get a higher percentage of sales. However, I can tell you that I would not get the high volume of sales I get some days without including the general keywords in my campaigns.

If the landing page has great sales copy then I don't mind spending money on the general keywords since I know I'll get enough sales from this traffic to more than make up for the cost of these general keywords.

Barry Stein

Hi,

There are many ebooks on the subject of finding niche markets.

I don't think anyone needs an ebook to show them which niche market to go after. I think people would be better off just going after a niche market that they either have a passion for or they have a very strong interest in -- period!

What is so hard doing that? You don't have to compete with other websites in general, you have to compete with other web pages. So if you have a website and you are willing to do a lot of link exchanges with other websites in your niche market that have high PR and you get your website listed in a lot of directories then you will be on your way to getting high positions in search engines.

The secret is to find keywords that have little competition. So if you want to go after the keyword phrase "dog houses" you do a search with the Google toolbar on your computer and see what the PR are for the web pages that come up in the search results for "dog houses." If the web pages that are in the top positions have a lower PR than your website and they have not fully optimized their web pages for "dog houses" then you should build a web page that is optimized for "dog houses" and you will have a good shot at getting into one of the top positions.

In my opinion there is a better ebook to own then these niche market ebooks and that is Sean Burn's ebook Rankings Revealed. It shows you how to get any website ranked higher
and how to make money with your website by using the above
approach.

Common sense will tell you that niche markets like Internet marketing, gifts, insurance, etc., are very competitive, but you still can enter them since your main goal will be to target individual keywords for web pages based upon who is in the top positions in Google already for them. Too many high PR web pages in the search results and/or optimized pages then you look for some other keywords in these niche markets to target. Of course it may be easier in less competitive niche markets to use this approach.

So build websites that deal with niche markets you either have a passion for or have a strong interest in. You'll spend a lot of time working on your website so it might as well be something you really enjoy.

Barry Stein

Hi,

I don't know if you had a chance to read my blog
today, but I have added information about some
new software called Affiliates Alert.

I knew it was just a matter of time before
someone came up with the idea of creating
software that would help you find niche market
products within the ClickBank database.

Affiliates Alert does that and more. I upgraded to
a monthly subscription for $9.95, which will also
allow me to find out which ClickBank products are
hot and the real movers.

Lets face it, finding the top merchant websites
in the ClickBank Market Place is easy. The only
problem is that they are easy for any other
affiliate to find them also, which means a lot of
competition.

Now what if there was a way to locate the
affiliate products deep within the ClickBank
database that were just starting to make their
move up the ClickBank rankings before most of the
other affiliates found them?

Well, that is just one of the things Affiliates
Alert allows you to do. You can check the sales
and performance progress of merchant websites.

Here is a link to the download page where you
will be able to read about this amazing software
and you will also be able to download it for free.

Click Here

It is just a matter of time before all your top
affiliates start using this software.

I am about to start a test campaign for an

affiliate product and I'm going to document the

whole process from beginning to end on my

Marketing Blog. You can read all about it here:
http://awebbiz.com/marketing-blog.htm 

I have also blogged on these topics in the last

few days and you may be interested in knowing

the answers.

- What does good sales copy look like?
- What are the ingredients to creating a

successful product or perhaps finding successful

affiliate products to market?
- How to make a killing with Google Adwords?

Hi,

Have you read Google Cash yet and started a
Google Cash System?

You will have to excuse my enthusiasm for the
Google Cash System, but it works and it is
profitable.

You can also visit this web page where I go into

the Google Cash System.

http://awebbiz.com/make-cash-fast.htm

I will eventually get into other topics like web design,

website optimization for the search engines, ezines,

pay-per-click strategies and more, but recently I've

been talking about the Google Cash System since

it has been so profitable for me and I thought others

could do the same thing if they wanted to try doing

something new on the Internet that would make them

money. It isn't as easy as it seems. You have to be

somewhat of a risk taker and maybe part gambler.

It is basically a numbers game, but you can improve

your odds by recognizing what makes a good affiliate

program.

In my first month, November, I made about $1,100
in affiliate commissions. This month so far I have

made $1217.27 in affiliate commissions and we
are only 13 days into the month. So I'm on track
right now to make about $3,000. Not bad for
working only 1-2 hours a day on my Google Cash
System. And once you have a profitable affiliate
product in place it virtually runs itself.

Google Adwords expenses for my profitable

affiliate products is running about 35% of my

commission total.

By the way, after doing about somewhere in the
area of 25-30 campaigns I now only have two

carry over campaigns from last month. So for

about every 15 campaigns I run I find one

profitable keeper. So far this month I haven't

found one profitable affiliate product. I've only

done about 5 new campaigns this month.

Someone asked how I found my first profitable

affiliate program. Well, it actually found me.

Some guy sent an email to me at my

BarrysBeanies email address. He wanted to

know if I wanted to promote his product. This

was in the beginning of November and I had

just started my Google Cash System and I was

actively looking for affiliate products to sell. It

was odd that this stranger sent me an email

with exactly what I was looking for.

Moral of the story is that if you want something

then you should move ahead and people will

start showing up to help you along the way. You

have to make up your mind what you want, take

action and move forward. Otherwise nothing is

going to happen. So if you have been thinking

about starting a Google Cash System or perhaps

building a website then get started right away and

have faith that a stranger will also show up and

help you.

This month so far I have made 51 sales of my

most profitable affiliate product. I make about

$21 commission on each sale. Now if I can only

find about 5-10 more affiliate products that do

this well I'll be set. I know they're out there

somewhere.

Here are some resources for locating affiliate

programs:

http://www.associateprograms.com/index.shtml

http://www.linkshare.com/

http://www.befree.com/

http://www.referit.com/main.cfm

http://www.lifetimecommissions.com/

http://www.2-tier.com/

http://www.affiliatesdirectory.com/

Even if you aren't into starting a Google Cash
System, all this information is important to you
if you are thinking about starting any type of
Internet business or if you have an Internet
business already and you want to make it more

profitable.

I've been using pay-per-click engines for my
www.barrysbeanies.com website for about 3

years. So I used pay-per-click search engines

way before anyone ever heard of Google Cash.

Pay-per-click engines have always been profitable
for me and Google Adwords is the best deal on the
web with reference to the amount of targeted
traffic I get to my website and the low cost of those
clicks.

In my opinion, the traffic I get from the
pay-per-clicks is more targeted and there are
more buyers coming to my website that way than

the traffic I receive from the free search engines.

I think most people who do searches on Google

are looking for free information. When they see

those Google Adwords boxes on the right hand
side they know they are advertisements. They
know someone is selling something. And they

know they are more likely to find exactly what they

are looking for quicker than doing a basic Google
search. And many are willing to buy what you have
to offer if it is exactly what they want and they don't

have to spend hours to find the same thing for free

by searching through all the search result pages.

Most of us are in a hurry and we're often willing to

pay money to anyone who helps solve our problems

or provides us exactly what we want.

When you are looking for affiliate products you

might turn things around. Instead of searching

for the products, search for the problems people are

having and for the things that they want. Then go

looking for the affiliate products or services that will

solve those problems or fulfill those wants.

As promised, below are 18 losers from November's
campaigns which I ran with Google Adwords. There
was about 12 more, but they included landing pages
and I prefer not to list them here. All the ones that

had landing pages that I created failed to make a

profit.

As you may know the "landing page" is the web
page people first go to when they click on your
Google Adwords link. There are numerous reasons
for using landing pages.

- The merchant web site has a popup. Since popups
are not allowed by Google Adwords you have to
create your own landing page and then have a link
on your landing page that goes to the merchant
website.

- You might do a pre-sell or some type of
review for the affiliate product. Or you can keep
it simple and only have the name of the merchant
website and a link that says "Enter Site."

- You might want to try and capture the email
address of the person who clicked on your Google
Adwords before he or she clicks on through to the
merchant website. Usually the best way to do this
is with a free ebook or perhaps have them register
to take some type of free course. Collecting names
and email addresses is only worthwhile if you
have something to do with them. Perhaps you have
an ezine and you'll add them to your customer
database.

All these affiliate programs aren't necessarily
bad. In fact, some of them are good sellers in
ClickBank. So maybe I didn't promote them

correctly or perhaps my ads were bad or maybe

they just need to be marketed in other ways.

In most cases I ran test campaigns for 100
click-throughs and many for only 50 click-throughs.

When you have a successful campaign you will know
it very quickly. So in my opinion there is no longer a

reason for me to go beyond 50 click-throughs to

determine whether or not I have a profitable keeper.

Your best affiliate programs will have a sales

conversion rate of about 3-6%.

Check out the losers below and see if you can
decide what is wrong with the websites or what
changes need to be done to improve it.

Think about this:

- Do they have a nice clean professional web

design?

- Are they trying to capture the visitor's email address

so they can do some type of follow up?

- Are the graphics professional looking?

- Does it look like they are more interested in

making a sale or finding more affiliates?

I'm going to create a web page on my web site for
these losers. I'll do a screen shot of the website

and I'll critique the web site also. I'll send you an

email when I get it completed. I'll probably only do

2-3 website critiques a week.

The purpose of these critiques is to set some type

of standard criteria for what makes a profitable
merchant website. Then you can use this information

to help you select profitable merchant websites or
perhaps to make some improvements on your own
website.

Hi,

First of all I wanted to clear something up from the last
newsletter I sent out.

"As you may know I started my Google Cash System
in the beginning of November and made $1,185.30 in
affiliate sales for the month using Google
Adwords."  

That should read, "...and made $1,185.30 in
affiliate commissions for the month using Google
Adwords." There is a big difference in affiliate
sales and affiliate commissions. Sorry about that
but some times my fingers go faster than my
brain.

OK, here's a good question I received:

"What methods or criteria did you use to pare
down the 10,000+ products at Clickbank to the
small group of a few dozen that you actually put
out on Adwords?" 

If I told you that I'd have to kill you. Only kidding!  

First of all I wouldn't limit myself to just ClickBank
and Commission Junction. There are probably
thousands of web sites that run their own affiliate
programs.  

Did you read the free ebook ClickBank Super
Tips that I included in the last newsletter? There
are some good ideas in there for picking
affiliate programs. Also some good ideas in
Rosalind Gardner's ebook, The Super Affiliate
Handbook.  

So to answer your question, it is a numbers
game, but you can put the odds in your favor by
creating a list of the criteria that makes for a good
affiliate program and/or website.  

One think I always look for is an opt-in on the web
site where people can sign up for something free,
or whatever, and then I know the merchant will make
more attempts to sell my referrals. My affiliate
cookie was planted on my referral that I sent to the
merchant website and now all they have to do is
go back and make a purchase. Many people
do not buy the first time they visit a website, so
more attempts are needed to make the sale and
one of the best ways to do that is with an opt-in for
a newsletter, a free course or a free gift. This will
increase your sales and the conversion rate.

Some times it is better to find the problems that
people are having, or what they want, or what
products are hot right now, and then go looking
for the affiliate products or services to solve those
problems and fulfill those wants.    

You must realize that in about the last 30 days I have
started about 30 campaigns on Google Adwords and
of those 30 I only have 2 left and still active. I have a
few others but they are new and still being tested.

And of the 2 campaigns left, only one is a big money
maker and is on target as of today, to make me
over $2,000 in affiliate commissions this month.  

So I basically failed 28 times before I was successful,
but in my case I got lucky and found my first winner
early in the game.

My game plan is to take all my successful Google
Adwords campaigns to all the other pay-per-click
search engines and eventually maybe offline to the
appropriate magazine classifieds or small space
ads.  

This really is like a game and it is fun. I guess I
always liked to gamble and this is also a little bit

like gambling, but I believe the odds are heavily in

your favor rather than the house.

Hi,

As you may know I started my Google Cash System

in the beginning of November and made $1,185.30 in
affiliate commissions for the month using Google

Adwords.

My expenses were about $500 in November. A large
portion of that $500 was used to run campaigns for
new affiliate products. Most of these new campaigns

fail, so I end them and move on. My rule is that if an

affiliate product or service doesn't make money within

the first 100 click throughs then I end the campaign. If

you hook up with a profitable affiliate program you will

know it early in your test campaign. Eventually I may
give new campaigns only 50 click throughs to prove
that they are keepers.

This month I'm on track to make over $3,000 in
affiliate commissions, but the holiday season may slow

down the pace I am currently on since I am not targeting

anything people are likely to purchase as holiday gifts.

Here's the free report that explains what I did and

what I'm making. http://adwordprofits.com

This has been quick and easy for me because I was
able to find a very profitable affiliate product in the

early stages of my testing in the beginning of November.

So there was some luck involved, but it is also a
numbers game. You keep the winners and boot the
losers.

With Google Adwords you have to learn how to write
great ads using a limited amount of text. I'd recommend

a trip to the library and check out some sales copy

books that also cover the subject of writing effective ads.

Do you have any idea what to look for when you're
trying to find affiliate products or services that will make

you money? Or what makes a great merchant website?

Listing an ad with Google Adwords is just one part of

the puzzle. There is a link below to an ebook called

ClickBank Super Tips by Harvey Segal, which will help

you with criteria to use when trying to choose affiliate

products or services to sell.

Right click on the following download link in order to

open and read the ebook or you can save it to a file

or your desktop. It's in EXE format.
http://www.awebbiz.com/free-ebooks.exe 

You will probably lose money with your Google
Adwords in the beginning. But who knows? Maybe
you will get lucky. If not than you will have to keep on

running your tests until you shrike gold!

Some time next week I'll put a list together of all the

losing campaigns I had. It doesn't mean that these

are bad affiliate products or services. It may just

mean that they need to be marketed differently than

directly with Google Adwords. Or maybe differently

than how I did it. In any event, you may elect not to

throw more money after products and services that

don't seem to work with a direct click through from a
Google Adwords. I've already done that!

Hi,

Do you sell on eBay or other auctions? If you do then
how do you rate the descriptions you write for your
auctions? Do your descriptions do a good job of
selling your items?

The biggest problem I see people having with their
auction descriptions is that they don't know how to
write great sales copy. I'd suggest that if someone
doesn't understand what great sales copy is that they
should buy a couple of books on how to write sales
copy and learn how to do it.

One book I'd recommend reading Tested Advertising
Methods by John Caples.

In addition to learning how to write great sales copy,
it is also beneficial to learn about the mail order
business. Because unless you are selling a
downloadable ebook or software, you are really
running a mail order business, not just an online
auction business. A good book to read is Melvin
Powers How to Get Rich in Mail Order.

An auction description is basically like a display
ad in a magazine or a newspaper.

Every great ad should contain these elements:

Attention ==> HEADLINE (What's in it for me?
Headline should be a benefit that targets the
reader's self interest)
Interest ==> Feature --> Advantage --> Benefit
Desire ==> Tell a story
Action ==> Call to action --> "Bid right now
and...(benefit)"

A feature is what the product has.
Example: The car has air conditioning.

An advantage is what the feature does.
Example: The air conditioner produces cool air.

A benefit is what the advantage means to the
reader.
Example: You will be cool and comfortable in
this car no matter how hot and sticky it is outside.

Great sales copy tells a story that relates to
your readers.

Your sales copy acts as your salesperson. Since you
are not face to face with your customer, you have to
think about any objections which might come up and
answer them in your sales copy.

You have to tell readers what is important or valuable
about the item you are trying to sell and why they
should buy it right now. You have to give as many
specific reasons why they should buy your item right
now as you can think of. One way to do that is every
time you list a feature or a benefit to ask this question,
"What this means to you is..." and list a more personal
benefit for the reader.

Remember, people buy on emotion and justify their
buying decision on logic. You have to write sales copy
that plays on people's emotions, describing the
benefits, why they will benefit and telling a story. If the
reader is interested in the product you are selling they
will read your story.

Hi,

Have you read Google Cash?  

Google Cash teaches you how to create Google
Adwords campaigns that show up on Google search
pages. Those little boxes on the right hand side
of the page of Google search results are Google
Adwords. You promote affiliate product products
with your Google Adwords.

When I first read Google Cash I was skeptical
about sending traffic directly to affiliate web
sites. Most of the marketers, including myself,
said you should pre-sell/review the product on a
landing page and then provide a link to the
affiliate web site.

Well, I wasn't having much success with the
landing page set up. Plus it takes a lot of time
to create a landing page to only find out that you
have a loser. So I said what the heck, let me try
sending traffic directly to affiliate web sites.

I have probably set up about 20 different
campaigns in the last 2 weeks. Of all these
campaigns only 3 are making me money. I ended
most of the other campaigns. All the profitable
campaigns I kept have a sales conversion rate of
about 5%. For every 100 click throughs I'm
getting about 5 sales. I'm looking for other
affiliate products that also generate this type of
conversion. They are out there -- just got to find
them. It's a numbers game.

If I don't get a sale within 100 click throughs I
end the campaign and I only promote affiliate
programs where I can make at least $20
commission on the sale.

Once you have a winning campaign then you can
create a landing page or maybe even a mini site
and promote the product on other pay-per-click
engines like Overture that won't let you send
people directly to an affiliate web site.

So hang in there! This system works!

Hi,

How are you? It's been a while since I've sent out
the newsletter. I've been very busy getting the
aWebBiz.com website optimized for the search
engines. I'm trying to create a lot of pages to
target specific keywords, which is hard to do with
the Internet business niche market since there is
so much competition.

I managed to find about 21 good keywords that I
can target that have good demand and the supply
isn't too high.

Basically the demand is determined by using the
Overture Search Suggestion Tool. First you type in
"Internet Business" and you get a list of all the related
keywords and the number of searches that have been
done in the last 30 days on Overture. This determines
the demand for the keywords.

Overture Suggestion Tool:
http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ 

Next you search the keywords on Google and see
how many web pages are listed. That's your
supply for the keywords. I usually try to target
keywords with at least 200 Overture searches and
with less than a million web pages listed in
Google.

As an example I'm setting up a web page for the
keyword phrase "Internet marketing tip" which
had 792 searches in the last 30 days on Overture
and there are 531,000 pages listed for it on
Google.

Here's a link to the web page. Take the time to
check it out because it has a good tip for
writing Google Adwords ads.
http://awebbiz.com/internet-marketing-tip.htm 

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I just added some more links to the free Internet
marketing web page.
http://awebbiz.com/free-internet-marketing-tools.htm

Check out the Free Content links. There are a few
government web sites listed. I don't know if you
know it or not but you can use any information
you find on these government web sites as content
on your web site, in your newsletter or in an
e-book. Just so long as there is no author listed
with a copyright notice.

We, the tax payers, pay for the creation of all
this information and it is ours to use as long as
there is no copyright notice, which most of it
doesn't have.

Only thing I'd like to suggest is that if you use
it on your web site that you change it a bit since
I've been told that if you don't the search engines
recognize it as being duplicate information and
it will affect the ranking of the web page.

Here's a list of the new links on the Free
Internet Marketing Tools web page:
