Great question! Prepare a budget for advertising and stick to it. Do not keep pouring money into advertising that isn't working. SFI offers a free co-op manager that you can use to track your pay-per-click advertising results. You can only add yourself to the co-op at first and give yourself shares in the co-op. Create separate co-ops for each pay-per-click site you use. If you are doing text links and banners, it is a good idea to use a different co-op url for each to see which text links and which

The MAIN thing you have to know is “TO START DOING WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW, YOU’LL HAVE TO LEARN IT”


Other aspects to consider:

1. Budget! Know how much you are willing to spend (i.e. daily budget, Max cost per click in case of targeted PPC and all that.

2. There are different types of PPC. While you can’t target specific countries in some cheap ones like clixsense.com, you can in some more expensive ones like adwords.google.com.

3. In targeted

Great question to ask before starting, Rainne. My best suggestions to you are to 1) educate yourself on PPC advertising, and 2) track all PPC campaigns.

You can go a long way in educating yourself by going to Training -> Internet Income: down to "click HERE", and click. George Little has given us many sections of training on PPC.

In sections 48 - 51 Mr. Little introduces us to PPC, explains strategies, MS adcenter, and bidding strategies.

There are many Ad sites available in web world. Free and paid both. So, It is not easy to choose a good advertising site which can give a good or desired results.
So, it's very important to put your key code with your link ,so that you can track the results of your advertising.
It's better to start with few different Ad sites and track your results for some days.
Once you get desired results from any Ad sites, you may continue to advertise your link there.
But again ,It's advisable

I have found The best results coming from People I know whom I recruit, Then people from my personal list, Then PPC, and then list email and then free ad sites.

There are always trade offs. I have personally recruited about 12 in my downline who are all advancing on schedule and are all three months in doing their daily activity every day. So almost 100 percent retention.

PPC has given me litteral 100s of sign ups an active rate of about 11.57% and a retention rate of about

There is a lot of competition in this realm of advertising. Not that you cannot be successful as an affiliate marketer – you can. You need to decide if you are going to be in the top ten search engines or step down a level and advertise with other search engines.
Here is a quick list of items I would consider before embarking in pay per click advertising.
1. Review Your Objectives
What are your business goals you want to achieve? Be specific and write them down.
2. Get Your

I think you must be prepared to give the best support possible to the affiliates who you are able to recruit using a PPC campaign. Any affiliates who you are able to recruit via a this type campaign are most likely not going to be able to afford a standing order anytime soon to maintain their Executive Affiliate rank.

Be prepared to support them emotionally. Let them know that it is possible to maintain their EA status if they would like to without spending money but that it will just

Understanding Pay Per Click Advertising is very important before using it.

Pay per click advertising is a great way to get visitors when you need traffic and you need it now. But it’s risky: With poor management, you can spend a fortune, generate many visits, and end up with nothing to show for it. Pay per click marketing, or PPC, is pretty simple: Search engines like Google and Bing allow businesses and individuals to buy listings in their search results. These listings appear along
