PPC to CPA Mentor needed I have $5k to BURN! - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

Hello Friends!. My first post.. Sorry its so long for my first one.

I’m new to this PPC game, I’ve been successful in offline business for over 21 years, I’ve always learnt off my mentors so I’d really appreciate your guidance here!

OK I’m ready to go for PPC to CPA via the Networks on Zip/Short-form leads. I know I need among other things, a Cash flow of about $5000 for a mid term float, 20 hours/week Minimum, a descent IQ, 2/3 months to give it all a chance and an understanding of adwords, MSN & Yahoo ad centres…(I will be paying using a British C/Card which is giving me an excellent exchange rate right now (£1 = $2!)

I'm based in the UK…so what I really need to know is…
Question (1) I am planning to Hit the USA & UK markets so should I split my activities and open x 2 adwords, MSN, etc accounts, one for UK (using UK IP, Domain etc,), the other USA, USA based domain, etc? It seems logical to do this and I can claim the 2 sets of vouchers in my new accounts if I do this. Also I plan to open CPA leads via UK & USA networks as they differ greatly in their markets. Will I be penalised by the powers that be for doing this or will the Big G see this as 2 completely separate businesses?

Question (2) Has anyone got a shortlist of the best UK networks / shortlist that carry ZIP (UK Postcode) offers to join?(I’ve seen loads in the USA)

Question (3) As I’m seen as a “publisher” on the network, IF a ZIP offer I’m brokering traffic to via PPC goes out of business, will the network that carries the offer honour the payout as the contract is with them, not the advertiser? What are the risks here of NOT getting paid in this game?

Question (4) Do the Big 3 Search networks offer the same controls on both sides of the Atlantic? (Geo targeting, etc) It seems we are always playing catch me up with our American cousins!

Question (5) Ihave read from different sources that if I do PPC straight to offer via content only I can link without a LP and the big G seems not to slap at this (Of course it’s a different story with search!) Anybody doing this? I don’t want to go down the LP route just yet.

IDEA: If we could start a thread with TIPS ‘N’ TRICKS regarding PPC to CPA, perhaps some of these answers might contribute to the start of such a thread!

Finally as a small ‘thank you’ to whoever answers or not, here are some GREAT links I’ve personally found which should be helpful to Aff./CPA Marketing & Keyword research:

Just to let everyone know, by searching more deeply I have found all my own answers from above...

Can I ask this now "What do you guys think of LPGen, will this resolve the google slap issue on custom CPA landing pages?

Didn't you post this at 5Star forums?

cosminautRU · 01-14-2008, 04:08 AM

Rob TID - Yes I Did!, so what do you think of LPGen? Is it worth getting in your opinion?

Rob_TID · 01-14-2008, 05:18 AM

Nope

Learn some basic php and you'll be able to insert keywords in any php page dynamically and send a sub id to your affiliate network for tracking.
