The ultimate PPC-CPA method (not a poll) pt.1
- 20 Comment
Okay, so this CPA Poll monster is pretty much beat to pieces. I have one last thing I want to share with all of you before I move onto other subjects.
Framing an offer is more powerful than giving them a poll. However, there are certain items that work better with a poll than they do with a frame. Zip and Email submits that are “chances to win” something should be kept on a poll. What about those other offers that the CPA companies have that are about insurance, or dating? You can’t really run them off of a poll. They just wont convert that well. But you can drive traffic to them directly. In an indirect way. Let me explain that better…
Now Googles actual policy states this:
“…we monitor and don’t allow the following:
- Redirect URLs: Ads that contain URLs that automatically redirect to the parent company.
- Bridge Pages: Ads for web pages that act as an intermediary, whose sole purpose is to link or redirect traffic to the parent company.
- Framing: Ads for web pages that replicate the look and feel of a parent site. Your site should not mirror (be similar or nearly identical in appearance to) your parent company’s or any other advertiser’s site.”
You can read Googles full Affiliate URL policy by going into Adwords help and performing a search.
Okay now. I know what Googles policy is. However, by building a Poll we are already violating it. A Poll is a “bridge page. It’s a intermediary page whose sole purpose is to link and redirect traffic to the “parent company”.
Redirect URLs are a bad choice to use because Google will recognize these pretty fast and shut you down. The ultimate method for delivering CPA offers on the PPC networks is by framing them. I know what you’re thinking, “But thats a violation”. Your right it is. But technically so is your Poll. Framing a page is a little bit harder for Google to detect. Infact I have never had a framed page taken down at all. Jump over to the Free Ruck Reports page and you will find a download for the exact framer that I use. Included in the download are two files. The actual .php file and a count.txt file.
The count.txt file is for the built in rotator. Thats right, the .php file has a url rotator built right in for split testing purposes. Stay tuned for the next post and I’ll tell you exactly what you need to do to test your offers with that page. For now, go download it and prepare yourself for my ultimate weapon for success. Now that you have the ammunition you just need to know how to aim and fire.

Again, nice post. :). Thanks.
Kris,
Do you think 50 visits and zero conversions is bad enough to abandon that offer or else should I wait for more time?June 5th, 2008 at 1:44 am - Greazy said:
Flash,
That depends on where your traffic is coming from and how targeted.
If you are using PPC, try tweaking your ads a bit before completely abandoning it.
I dont throw a truck away just because it is running funny, I pop the hood tweak it a couple times , then if it dont work I toss it. :)June 5th, 2008 at 3:11 am - Marketing sussex said:

Nice post, Kris – very interesting. The iframing is something I’m interested in doing, but not the PPC route :-). Looking forward to Pt. 2.

Hi Kris,
There is one thing I do not understand when using frames. I know how to track sales-KW when sending traffic direct and when sending it first to my own landing page. But I can not figure out how to track the sales down to KW (using the affiliate subid tracking) when sending traffic to a framed offer?
Any advice would be great.

Hi Kris,
I have read a few places that IFrames can not be seen in some browsers. Is there a way that we can use this script to display the offer in a normal frame?
Thank you,
Skylar.

@Flights,
I’d use Extreme Conversions to tracking your framed campaigns. If you take it a step further get LPGen and use them together for your framed offers, works great.

@Flights
What Runningthingz said :) There are also other tracking platforms such as ppseer.com that you can use.@Skylar
I’ve never really worried about that. More often then not you just have to worry about the offer breaking out of the frame. I’m sure you could use a regular frame, I’ve just never bothered.June 6th, 2008 at 9:42 pm - E3 spark plugs said:
I was reading about someone who put up the entire list of keywords on the page where the iframe is residing to improve his quality score. He used the same color for his font as his background…not sure abt the results though..but it does sounds logical.
