Has anyone ever had success with doing this?

8 replies
Just simply taking an affiliate product that has a really nice squeeze page and just promote your affiliate link with PPC using like Bing ads or something? I have $100 credit with bing so I was just curious!

    I've never tried this, but I wouldn't imagine Bing being as strict as Google

    Try it out and let everyone know how it works out.

    In many ways, Bing is more strict than Google so you need to read the fine print. Also make sure that you're not breaking the rules of your affiliate- many of them state that you can't use paid search with certain phrases or keywords (or not at all).

    If you check both places and you're good though, then why not? That $100 coupon I got a few months ago from Bing expired this week, so I went ahead and used mine as well.

    You don't want to do this. You really want to separate yourself from the crowd.

    What you really want to do is to create your own squeeze page and not use the company's own sales funnels.

    Also show your visitors YOU and talk a little about yourself so that they get to know you better.

    Outside isolated cases, I don't expect excellent results from doing this, and here are just some of my reasons:

    • Many product merchants would probably stop offering 60% or more affiliate commissions, especially those that aren't doing this for brand positioning results but rather for increased sales, if it were as easy as simply advertising their products in these search networks (or anywhere online), since what's stopping them from doing this more themselves?; and

    • These product merchants generally offer these commissions so as to leverage the trust-based relationships that have already been established by affiliates with their readership, membership and subscriber bases, which most likely produces higher conversions, and this could most likely be the main reason why they're doing this in the first place, instead of just simply advertising their products in these search networks (and anywhere online) ...

    However, as I mentioned above -- There may be isolated cases, so it'd of course be best for you to test this out ...

    Success with Bing you need to know some method:
    * Bing Uses Quality Score Metric
    * Dynamic Text Insertion
    I am just carrying out clickbank as well as google advertisings screening now with lower gravity, the actual clickbank landing page should be something might encourage myself to acquire as well as I am just concentrating on specific key word complements.
    Receiving targeting keys to press with fantastic simply click through price so advertisings are very good,although no conversion rate.

    Well, I don't know about Bing but if you try to promote a squeeze page on Google Adwords you might run into QUALITY SCORE issues and this can jack up your per click costs. It can make the whole thing uneconomical.

    I see people still doing this all the time in Bing and even Google. They don't direct link, but they set up a squeeze page with their affiliate link on it.

    But their squeeze pages look really legitimate. A lot of the time, I don't even know it's an affiliate product squeeze page at first glance...

    Some pretty creative stuff out there.
