One thing people need to remember though, is when they have a few projects that are successful using a particular model, they need to expand into other models, or else they are leaving money on the table. For example, you setup a big content site with CPA ads, then you go with PPC to bring traffic. Once it goes well, then you look at it: You already made the time/money/effort investment into putting the site live. You now have a platform to start exploring other monetization strategies for minimum cost/effort: - Harvest email addresses for newsletters - Sell private ads on the website. - Do some SEO, which will bring in free converting traffic. .... In other words, milk it for all it's worth, but without compromising the trust of your users (ie: spyware is bad, m'kay?) You need to explorer if you want to achieve a good ROI. Well said.

I believe the point Ruck was making, (and Ruck, please correct me if I am wrong here) is test CPA offers first for profit potential, BEFORE dumping a large amount of time and money into them. You are not only testing to see if a offer converts, but also if the conversion rate is high enough to recoup advertising costs. Now I would not consider myself an expert on PPC, that's why I follow Rucks blog, but a decent conversion would be in the range of 2-3%. Knowing that, you can take the cost of the traffic (the PPC rate) per 100 clicks and if two conversions is higher than that cost, then you've got a winner. Then you test it to see if you can get actual conversion. It if all works out, you scale up your campaign. Rip,

You aren't necessarily looking to see if you earn a profit from a PPC test campaign; which means you need to approach this testing period with a mindset that says you are going to be losing money, although it is still a kind of investment. So that begs the question -- what kind of a conversion rate is good enough to call the CPA offer a winner? If you spend $500 and get 1 conversion for $1.50... well, it converted, but the profit margin sucked. Obviously, nobody can quantify this with an absolute number, but how do you think you judge the potential success or failure of an offer in terms of conversions?

You can definitely spend countless hours testing and trying new things with minimal results. I think the key is no matter what model you decide to use, just stick with it. Keep trying. Keep tweaking. Keep testing away and eventually something will stick. It's just a matter of finding your "comfort zone" in affiliate marketing. I do agree that testing with PPC is a great way to find out if something converts before you decide to put more time and effort into it. Looking forward to many more great posts.

I've been trimming the fat and becoming more focused. More PPC is in my future.

When I was first introduced to Internet marketing back in Octoberish, the first thing I came accross was strict PPC (uberaffiliate.com actually). Ever since that day, I have made a personal vendetta against PPC to master it to the best of my abilities. while that hasn't quite worked out yet, I have confidence that I'll get it eventually. I have actually had more success with building BANS stores than I have with PPC, but for some reason I still focus about 95% of my attention to PPC. Its like a big game in my head that I'm determined to win. I’m not sure I have really defined my own personal model just yet.

It looks like your on the fast track if your acquiring sites. I have long since developed my own but with the restructure of my own plans, I have been paying attention a lot more to sites for sale that are already established. That is an excellent plan!
