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.
From here, the content of your website should add value to these clicks by providing things like articles on DUI, or reprinting traffic reports local to Pasadena. These things will attract people to what you have to offer even more through our AdSense advertisement, and you can profit by $1 for each click. This this scenario, the profit that you receive from your 25 cent investment is very fair, but it’s also a practice that’s filled with risk, and it might be expensive if this audience doesn’t actually result in a majority of conversions. There have been plenty of people who have failed at purchasing low-cost clicks and attempting to resell them at their websites. If you invest money, and time to make mistakes, you’ll eventually discover your own perfect combination of factors to create a profit.
OR, you can invest that time in a wiser fashion by focusing on SEO as a source for those long-tail search keywords. You can do the same amount of work, get words that are less competitive, and if your page is correctly optimized, you will be better off in the long run. No matter your CTR, you are going to end up having to invest less of your capital in the venture. Your time is going to be the biggest investment you will have to make. Once you have invested the necessary time, whether you end up making a lot of money in this venture or only a little, it is not going to cost you anything out of your own wallet.
