You can make a lot of money by using Google AdWords to drive traffic to affiliate offers from Clickbank. But you can also lose a lot of money if you don’t know what you are doing. I want to show you 2 insider ninja secrets you can use today to make more money with AdWords and Clickbank.

Ninja Secret #1:

Don’t try and compete on the high traffic volume keywords in your niche market! This is a major mistake that most affiliate marketers make and don’t ever know they are making it.

Just because a keyword gets a lot of traffic does not mean it will make you a lot of money! Focus on the long tail keywords in that market and when you have maxed out your traffic on the long tail keywords then move on to another market.

It is not about getting the most traffic to your site or affiliate offer – it is about getting the most profit from every visitor that comes to your site from AdWords. Focus on profit not traffic!

Ninja Secret #2:

Never ever send your affiliate traffic directly to an affiliate offer! You must always send your AdWords traffic to your own site and get them to optin to your newsletter! The reason for this is because you want to have the option to send that same traffic to multiple affiliate offers over a period of time.

Also – having a big newsletter list gives you leverage so you can get website owners to give you a better commission rate for promoting their products. You can become a super affiliate by doing this.

There are not many AdWords secrets because there is no secret for success. AdWords is a premier Google tool that is considered as a highly successful internet advertising tool. If you want to run an AdWords campaign then the biggest AdWords secret is to understand the requirements and how you can successfully implement it.

There are 5 simple steps in the AdWords strategy include the product you want to advertise about, finding the right keywords, providing attractive and relevant ad copy, focusing on bidding strategies, and finally tracking and testing. Everyone knows that keyword research and use is no secret anymore, so let us talk about bidding strategies.

Considered to be an AdWords secret, bidding strategies is related to the budget allocated per click. There is a lot of flexibility offered by Google in cost per click and this is one of the reasons for its popularity apart from the fact that it can get you targeted customers.

If you have a small budget then you can keep your bids lower, something like 10-25 cents a click. The trick here is to bid on as many keywords as possible. Initially, it is advisable to stay away from the bidding wars or ranking war because once you campaign starts to work, you will automatically get drawn into the ranking war.

Here’s how you can calculate your ROI: 5 sales x $25 per 100 visitors. The main thing is to know what your visitor is worth because once you know that you will be able to identify what your maximum bid should be.

Affiliate marketing, while a quick and easy way to get started with earning money online is also a highly specialized form of marketing. There are several techniques and strategies that you can use to promote your affiliate products online, but very few work better than using a landing, or squeeze, page.

A landing page is mostly used in affiliate campaigns that utilize pay-per-click marketing, but should also be used with email marketing, paid ads on websites, and article marketing. Think of it as a place where you funnel all your traffic to distribute to other parts of your marketing campaign.

One of three things should happen once someone visits your landing page. One is they opt-in to your email list by signing up or a free download or video. Another would be to directly click to the merchant site for a direct sale. The last would be that they click to a blog, or listing of articles and information. Without one of these three things happening your landing page isn’t doing its job.

5 Successful Landing Page Tips for Affiliate Marketers

• Open With A Compelling Headline – Catching the visitors attention as soon as they visit your site will pull them further into your page.

• Develop An Emotional Sub-Heading – Most people miss this part, but you want to create an emotional pull after you capture their interest with the heading.

• Make it personal – Affiliate marketing isn’t an anonymous form of marketing anymore. Keep the copy on your page personal in nature to build rapport and trust.

• Use a testimony or two – Let your visitors see reaction, recommendations, and praise from other customers.

• Ask for a response – Affiliates usually use a “Click here for…”, but what really works is to come out and ask. Ask them to download your free gift, ask them to click to the merchant, and ask them to visit your blog or articles.
