You can make a lot of use of the traffic that is coming to your site thanks to SEO and PPC efforts through affiliate marketing; and make a lot of money at the same time. If you are using Google Adsense, what this means is that any time someone clicks on any of the ads that Google has put on your site, you are earning a commission. Depending on the click that is going to Google, this can be anywhere from pennies to dollars that you are earning at any one time; either way, it isn’t going to be a whole lot. On the other hand, if they are paying you more in commission for the click than you paid to get it, you are going to be making money.
When it comes to promoting things with Google AdSense, you simply need to pay less than the cost of the delivered clicks. You can find various ways to get a low cost-per-click price, to direct traffic towards your website, and to discover long-tail terms that are searched for. For instance, you want to promote a high-dollar ‘click’ at your website, such as ‘DUI Attorney’. What that ad is clicked on through Google AdSense, you can earn up to, and over, $30 for every click. This is significantly higher than other $3 per click search terms.
Now let’s suppose that you manage to find something like ‘DUI Attorney Pasadena, CA’ as a long-tail keyword search that is inexpensive. You are going to bid for a low position on this, say maybe .30 a click, and hope to get these low-cost clicks and more traffic to your website.
You also need to make sure that your site offers things relating to this click, like articles on DUI or traffic laws in Pasadena or anything of this nature, which will not only make people come to your site but be willing to click on the Adsense ad you are running, from which you are making $1 per click. You have to agree that this doesn’t sound like that bad of a deal; however, if nobody is clicking on your ads, then you are going to be losing the money you have invested — this really is a risky business. Not everyone has what it takes to make money through buying low cost clicks and then running them on their own websites. You are going to have to be willing to invest not only money, but the time and effort necessary to figure out exactly what is going to work the best to make a profit.
If you are going to put that much time into this effort, why not focus it on SEO for those same long-tail keywords? If you optimize your page right, you can still do the same work for less competitive words, and come up organically. Then it doesnt matter as much what your CTR is, and will cost you a lot less $$. The only thing you are spending is your time. Once that initial time investment is over, then it cannot cost you any money out of your pocket ” Whether it works or not!
