Ea!y 2rofit! .!ing 22C In @our Affiliate
Marketing %u!ine!!
22C or Pa!-Per-2lick in full is one of the four basic t!pes of )earch Engines# PP2
is also one of the most cost-effective a!s of targeted "nternet advertising#
According to 5orbes maga?ine, PP2 or Pa! Per 2lick, accounts to & billion dollars
a !ear#
4et us take a =uick look at ho PP2 )earch Engines ork#
These engines create listings and rate them based on a bid amount the ebsite
oner is illing to pa! for each click from that search engine# Advertisers bid
against each other to receive higher ranking for a specific ke!ord or phrase#
The highest bidder for a certain ke!ord or phrase ill then have the site ranked
as number 1 in the PP2 )earch Engines folloed b! the second and third highest
bidder, up to the last number that have placed a bid on the same ke!ord or
phrase# 7our ads then ill appear prominentl! on the results pages based on the
dollar amount bid !ou ill agree to pa! per click#
,o do !ou make mone! b! using PP2 into !our affiliate marketing business3
Most affiliate programs onl! pa! hen a sale is made or a lead delivered after a
visitor has clickthrough !our site# 7our earnings ill not ala!s be the same as
the! ill be dependent on the eb site content and the traffic market#
- 1' -
The reason h! !ou should incorporate PP2 into !our affiliate marketing
program is that earnings are easier to make than in an! other kind of affiliate
program not using PP2# This a!, !ou ill be making profit based from the
clickthroughs that !our visitor ill make on the advertiser<s site# 6nlike some
programs, !ou are not paid per sale or action#
PP2 can be ver! resourceful of !our ebsite# 0ith PP2 )earch Engines
incorporated into !our affiliate program, !ou ill be able to profit from the
visitor<s ho are not interested in !our products or services# The same ones ho
leave !our site and never comes back#
7ou ill not onl! get commissions not onl! from those ho are :ust searching the
eb and finding the products and services that the! anted but !ou ill be able
to build !our site<s recognition as a valuable resource# The visitors ho have
found hat the! needed from !ou site are likel! to come back and revie hat
!ou are offering more closel!# Then the! ill eventuall! come back to search the
eb for other products#
This kind of affiliate program is also an eas! a! for !ou to generate some more
additional revenues# 5or example, hen a visitor on !our site does a search in the
PP2 )earch Engine and clicks on the advertiser bided listings, the advertisers<
account ill then be deducted because of that click# 0ith this, !ou ill be
compensated (DH to EDH of the advertisers< bid amount#
PP2 is not onl! a source of generating eas! profitsF it can also help !ou promote
!our on site# Most of the programs allo the commissions received to be spent
for advertising ith them instantl! and ith no minimum earning re=uirement#
This is one of the more effective a!s to exchange !our ra visitors for targeted
surfers ho has more tendencies to purchase !our products and services#
0hat ill happen if !ou hen !ou integrate PP2 into !our affiliate program3
PP2 usuall! have read!-to-use affiliate tools that can be easil! integrated into
!our ebsite# The most common tools are search boxes, banners, text links and
some 9D9-error pages# Most search engines utili?e custom solutions and can
provide !ou ith a hite-label affiliate program# This enables !ou, using onl! a
fe lines of code, to integrate remotel!-hosted co-branded search engine into
!our ebsite#
- 18 -
The key enefit!, $ot onl! more mone! generated but also some extra mone!
on the side# Plus a lifetime commissions once !ou have referred some ebmaster
friends to the engine#
Think about it# 0here can !ou get all these benefits hile alread! generating
some income for !our site3 Gnoing some of the more useful tools !ou can use
for !our affiliate program is not a aste of time# The! are rather a means of
earning ithin an earning#
-est kno more about ho !ou can use PP2 search engines into !our affiliate
program than miss out on a great opportunit! to earn more profits#

to trust# "f !our visitors feel and believe that !ou are an expert in !our niche, the!
are more inclined to making that purchase# *n the other hand, if !ou are not
exuding an! confidence and self-assurance in endorsing !our products, the! ill
probabl! feel that same a! and ill go in search of another product or service
hich is more believable#
,o do !ou establish this aura of expertise3 -! offering uni=ue and ne

ha?ard signs and dangerous aters !ou shouldn<t be treading on in the affiliate
marketing scene/
)o listen up;
- &( -
Affiliate marketing is one of the most effective and poerful a!s of earning
some mone! online# This program gives ever!bod! a chance to make a profit
through the "nternet# )ince these affiliate marketing programs are eas! to :oin,
implement and pa!s a commission on a regular basis, more an more people are
no illing in this business#
,oever, like all businesses, there are lots of pitfalls in the affiliate marketing
business# 2ommitting some of the most common mistakes ill cost the marketers
a large portion taken from the profit the! are making ever!da!# That is h! it is
better to avoid them than be regretful in the end#
Mi!take numer -C Choo!ing the &rong affiliate.
Man! people ant to earn from affiliate marketing as fast as possible# "n their
rush to be part of one, the! tend to choose a bandagon product# This is the kind
of products that the program thinks is AhotB# The! choose the product that is in
demand ithout actuall! considering if the product appeals to them# This is not a
ver! ise move obviousl!#
"nstead of :umping on the bandagon, tr! top choose a product in hich !ou are
trul! interested in# 5or an! endeavor to succeed, !ou should take some time to
plan and figure out !our actions#
Pick a product that appeals to !ou# Then do some research about that product to
see if the! are in demand# Promoting a product !ou are more passionate about is
easier than promoting one for the sake of the earnings onl!#
Mi!take numer 0C 9oining too many affiliate program!.
)ince affiliate programs are ver! eas! to :oin, !ou might be tempted to :oin
multiples of affiliate programs to tr! and maximi?e the earnings !ou ill be
getting# -esides !ou ma! think that there is nothing rong and nothing to lose b!
being part of man! affiliate programs#
True, that is a great a! to have multiple sources of income# ,oever, :oining
multiple programs and attempting to promote them all at the same time ill
prevent !ou from concentrating on each one of them#
The result3 The maximum potential of !our affiliate program is not reali?ed and
the income generated ill not exactl! be as huge as !ou ere thinking initiall! it
- &9 -
ould# The best a! to get excellent result is b! :oining :ust one program that
pa!s a 9DH commission at least# Then give it !our best effort b! promoting !our
products enthusiasticall!# As soon as !ou see that it is alread! making a
reasonable profit, then ma!be !ou can no :oin another affiliate program#
The techni=ue is to do it slol! but surel!# There is reall! no need to rush into
things, especiall! ith affiliate marketing# 0ith the a! things are going, the
future is looking real bright and it seems affiliate marketing ill be sta!ing for a
long time too#
Mi!take numer *C Not uying the product or u!ing the !er)ice.
As an affiliate, !ou main purpose is to effectivel! and convincingl! promote a
product or service and to find customers# 5or !ou to achieve this purpose, !ou
must be able to rela! to the customers that certain product and service# "t is
therefore difficult for !ou to do this hen !ou !ourself have not tried these things
out# Thus, !ou ill fail to promote and recommend them convincingl!# 7ou ill
also fail to create a desire in !our customers to avail an! of hat !ou are offering#
Tr! the product or service personall! first before !ou sign up as an affiliate to see
if it is reall! delivering hat it promises# "f !ou have done so, then !ou are one of
the credible and living testaments aare of its advantages and disadvantages#
7our customers ill then feel the sincerit! and truthfulness in !ou and this ill
trigger them to tr! them out for themselves#
Man! affiliate marketers make these mistakes and are pa!ing dearl! for their
actions# To not fall into the same situation the! have been in, tr! to do ever!thing
to avoid making the same mistakes#
Time is the ke!# Take the time to anal!?e !our marketing strateg! and check if
