PPC 2-Tier. Or How To Get Traffic If You Are Not SEO Guru.

I am not sure whether I used a correct term (PPC 2-Tier), but I will try to explain what I mean by this in my work. I have already mentioned AdSense arbitrage and Copeac, which is a CPA network (I described it earlier in Internet Business: First Ste post).
When you read some articles, how people earn a lot of money in one or two weeks, you often just do not know where to start from. Everybody understands that to get any money, you need to have traffic on your web site. And this is not an easy task to get it, especially if you are not a SEO guru. I am, personally not. So, I do not know how optimize my pages in a right way and how to promote them for free on the Internet. For such kind of people we have different PPC systems. The most famous of them is AdWords, but there are tons of them around us. Why shell we choose something else but AdWords? First of all this is money. It is usual situation, when bids on AdWords, for keywords you want to use are ridiculously high. So, in this case, it does not make sense to use it, because you will not gain any profit from it.
So, here come other, less popular PPC networks. You can use them for everything either for AdSence or for CPA or for other purposes. I started to use some of them and will try to write reviews for all of them, so you could choose some of them for your self.

I will share my first results in this area later this week.

P.S. You can always write me an email (it is in the top left corner). I will try to answer all of them.

AdSense In Action

Everybody, who was trying to work in internet business, knows about AdSence arbitrage. To those who is not familiar with the term, it means you are buying traffic and trying to convert it into AdSence clicks. The most popular place to buy traffic for this purpose is Google AdWords. The main problem in this process is how to find right keywords. But even if you find expensive keywords for your site and AdSense, there is a problem to find cheap keywords for AdWords. So, here is a very simple method for finding expensive keywords and with not many competitors.

To find expensive and not very competitive keywords I use Google AdWords Keyword Tool.
Choose “The Site-Related Keywords” tab. Then enter http://en.wikipedia.org in URL field and select “Include other pages on my site linked from this URL”. Choose “Cost and Ad Position Estimates” and set for example $50 in a price field. That is it. Now you can press “Get Keywords” button to receive a list of keywords.

So, having this list, use Wordtracker to check amount of searches for selected keyword. It’s not necessary to have hundreds of searches. It’s important to have enough and not too many competitors for the selected keyword.

On the final step, we need to make sure that there are not too many competitors for the selected keyword. I’ve just tried to find something in the Keyword tool, just to show you what I mean. Here is a key, which was given me by the tool and which doesn’t have many competitors: "hurricane tracking program". Try to search for it in google (don’t remove brackets) and you will see that that there are only 2430 pages. So, it’s very easy to get on top with this keyword. I didn’t show better keywords, which I found there, because I am going to use them for myself.:)
