DPR Affiliate Marketing Blog

Archive for December, 2007

I have noticing this site hitting my blog off and on for months now. At first I thought it was someone trying to find out what Adwords I am bidding on. I didn’t worry too much because I don’t send those type of PPC clicks to this site. I buy hits hoping for new subscribers but am waiting for the design of this site to come along before I do anything more than that.

The Magic Hundred

The least I think you need to do is bring your site design into this decade, along with better graphics for the ebook. A little bit adds a lot of credibility. A couple of sales have been made. I am not sure how

The other day I noticed an Adwords ad with "aff" in it. This used to be the requirement if you created an Adwords ad that linked to a product via an affiliate link. But it has been over two years since this was needed. Now only one ad per url is shown, theoretically allowing only one affiliate to directly link via an affiliate per search per user.

Why would someone still be using this? I can only think of two possibilities. The one is not much help. It could be a new affiliate with old information. All of the classic Adwords ebooks were written when you had to use "aff" with these type of Ads. So it could be a person who just does not know what he is doing quite yet.

Actually since about Sunday evening. I am not the type to start yelling,"The sky is falling, the sky is falling." I used to be. Whenever sales dropped, I would freak out. But yesterday was pretty drastic. Sales dropped to 10% of their normal volume. Not freaking out though. I have seen it before.

But today I already have 200% of the sales I made yesterday and it is only 9:30 in the morning. Add to that the fact that the Clickbank login and stats area was put in maintenance mode yesterday makes me question a few things.

Adsense Click Lock

I have heard of Google kicking people off of Adsense for many reason. They use algorithms to find the bad apples. Most of the times these algorithms do what they are supposed to do. And that is make sure that advertisers paying for ads are getting what they are paying for. Real people clicking through. Real people who are interested in your product.

But sometimes bad things happen to good people. I have heard of having their Adsense account deleted because they got one of their pages stumbled. The reason: the page got too many impressions and no clickthroughs, impression fraud. What? That’s ridiculous.
