I am writing this because I was asked by someone who much I spend for bought traffic for my CJ campaigns.

The answer is about $2,000 to $2,500 per month, on PPC and media alone. Of course, it varies a lot from month to month. I have been able to reduce that amount by using more effective copywrite on my landing pages. In addition, the longer the run is of a campaign, the more inexpensive the per clic rate tends to be. A good landing page is 50% of your success. Keywords and everything else is important, of course, but once you finally find the right keywords, it’s all up to the landing page.


The first thing I did was to go through CJ and send application to several merchants, telling them that I was really going to work hard in promoting their products as long as they had a good CPA or sales rate for me. I then decided to give priority to those merchants that said yes. I set some very general landing pages and then proceeded to study their offers carefully and specially tried to figure out what made their products or offers different from the competition and attractive to a customer. The trick is to keep it simple and convincing. Since you have just a couple of seconds to turn a visitor into a customer, you really want to keep it short and only give pertinent information. You shouldn’t make more than 10 selling points maximum, and if possible, keep it to only 5.

Also, depending on what you’re promoting, you can even copy text from wikipedia and put it right on your landing page for good effect. You can make it an image, so that wikipedia’s bot can’t detect it.

A common myth is that landing pages should be amazing looking and jaw dropping. That’s just not true and I can attest this from experience. It’s how you phrase it and call to action that makes all the difference. It’s only after you see that you make sales that you can hire a graphics designer.

Another good tip is to develop the right keywords. You need to go to the merchant’s site and take a look at their page source where you will find meta tags with their keywords. Then, go to a search enginge, like Google, and look those words up. You’ll find several ads. Select the top 3 and take a good look at them. More than likely, they are the most successful. You can learn a lot from those 3. How they are worded, the structure, the number of pages, style, etc. To make it better, look at their page source and look at their keywords for more ideas. With all this information, you’re ready to experiment and play with your own landing page.

In addition, with the keywords in hand, you’re ready to start a campaign on adwords. I recommend adwords because it has the best traffic, which makes it ideal for first testing. If the tests are good, then you know you can expand to other adnetworks for increased sales. Two things to take into consideration is that you have to start with a high per click bid, so that you start on their first page (featuring in third page and on is useless), and that you have to set up a daily budget so you don’t get into more costs that you can handle. It’s better if you can set up an application tool that keeps track of which keywords are bringing you traffic.

At first, campaigns should focus on a maximum of 10 keywords so that your copywriting can be easily customized to those. Once you get conversions, then you can try out new keywords.

You’ll have to be a bit patient. Keyword performance should be measured on a weekly basis, so don’t rush into conclusions because of a good or a bad day. At the end of a week, you’ll be able to know which campaigns should just be dumped, which can be kept in the hopes to improve and which ones are definitely worth expanding to other adnetworks.

Then, you go to the next merchant and repeat the whole thing again. It works every time. My advise is to keep merchants that a non-changing offer, since it means you won’t have to be doing updates in the future.

That’s it. It’s a bit boring at first, but once the money starts rolling, you’ll find yourself more and more motivated. Good luck!
