You've dealt with mortgage data for years. I'm just curious. As an affiliate, what do or did you like to see most being offered by buyers aside from the 'getting paid on time/at all' stuff.

I mean, clearly you are in total control of your content and traffic so what sort of tools or additional content or information would you look to them for?

Better backend integration? Ability to control whom you are exactly selling to in a detailed way? Creatives and Landing Sites?

This could apply to any type of lead. Im just looking for more perspective from a seasoned publisher.

Please list the most efficient ways to get social media traffic.

I'm not very good with social media traffic.. I think you should look at what some bloggers who are very into it suggest. Look at Neil Patel's blog for example. His life revolves around social media news and changes. You may also want to consider using some of your Indians or whoever else you outsource your cheap labor to, to get onto social media sites and build up trust within the communities and then blog/post about your services from there.

Social media is a tricky beast that I gotta admit to not knowing or even valuing much with, but perhaps one day soon I'll get better acquainted with it and be able to give you a better answer. Sorry man.

Thanks, Jon. I appreciate the lead. I'll look up Neil Patel's blog. BTW, all my guys are inhouse--we don't outsource our main tasks (content creation, email support, and content-based linkbuilding), people outsource to us. Also, we're in the Philippines not India. Just wanted to clarify. Thanks again!
 
What conferences have you attended/heard of which I will be able to get into (I am under 18, and am pretty steamed that I can't get into ASE due to that...)

Another more revelant question...how much OFFLINE marketing have/do you do, and in what specific forms? How does OFFLINE marketing convert for you? Where do you do this marketing?

Oh, here's another one.

I want to promote a very popular product with Amazon that doesn't have much competition, but only gives a payout of $.60-$.80.

What's the best route to take? Landing page and try to beef up my quality score? Should I even do it at all?
Click to expand...

For a payout like that, even though it's very easy, I'd reconsider it.

You need to ask yourself an important question before getting into any campaign... Is the overall potential (realistic/conservative projections) worth your time and energy.

With that said, you can take a very simple and easy route, and just make a WP blog about the product, and submit it everywhere, get it indexed, and then use Google's content network for traffic instead of Adwords. Your QS for the campaign will be high enough after a week or two to get really bare minimum clicks so no real worries about that, but you need to tap into the really high stream of content network or search traffic to make it very worth your while. So overall, it's a tough decision, but hey, you can also just add the product to any existing sites with traffic that may be related to it, and use that as a test to see if it's even worth your while to go head on with it.

Trial and error.

For quality link backs, do you suggest going for link-exchanges with other sites within the niche or are there any alternatives for a little PR boost?
Click to expand...

Link exchanges are just plain dumb nowadays. They were solid pre-2003 Florida update. Now, ehhh. Some people disagree, as usual, but I've seen way better results with getting links from blogs, direct links. The only recip linking I'd do is with blogroll links, that seems to still play a role in linking for better results. As for PR, stop focusing on it, it's useless. Sites with PR3 can outrank a PR7, because the PR3's links are RELEVANT and the sites linking to them (9/10 times direct) have a lot more trust and weight. PageRank is Google's biggest hoax on webmasters, so quit playing into their game and just focus on IBL's (in-bound links/direct links) from quality and relevant sites.
 
Which of the following have you found to be the most successful and what do see as being successful in the future? Why?

1. PPC Traffic -> Single landing page with offer
2. PPC Traffic -> Landing Page backed by small content lacking website with other offers
3. PPC Traffic -> Landing page backed by larger website with average amount of content and pages which do not directly promote offers.

How do you keep all of your projects organized?
Click to expand...

We've tried a few things.. as you can tell from here, it hasn't worked so well.

The best things you can try is to document everything on a project management software app or intranet if you have a team. Project Managers assigned to specific projects is also a great thing to have, so you can have them just supply you with weekly/daily reports and focus on the business and important objectives rather than every little detail that can be time and energy consuming.
 
If some day Affiliate Marketing completely dies out and somehow you lose the majority of your assets/money, but keep your knowledge. What offline business(s) would you venture into?

What program(s) have you used or would recommend to create/manage basic maintenance on a network of thousands of sites?
Click to expand...

Brandon made us some custom apps for this, so I don't really have an answer..

What you may want to consider is documenting everything you do to manage your network of sites. Write down every piece of it, and then get a programmer to automate as much of the manual labor as he can, so you can do the same thing, but at a quicker, easier pace.
