After my recent post about SEO site that I boosted to top 10 in Google for my main keywords, I’ve decided not to work with low gravity products anymore and stick with hot a proven products and high-converting sales pages only.
As I wrote in “Re-evaluating my buiness model” post, SEO again becomes a must-do for me, since I need income source beyond PPC and oher paid traffic methods. September’s adwords account suspension that I happily managed to reactivate, ban of my old seo site bringing me stable incomes in the long-term – all that simply killed my business and I had to scrape for cents left on my credit card and spend it so wisely.
Only in November I’ve managed to make one of my adwords campaigns profitable, I’ve also revived my most high-ROI campaign that I ran for over 1.5 years – it’s not bringing any volume like in good old days, but I see some small profit now, so I’m sticking to it.
I’ve completely stopped promoting Clickbank stuff on PPC now, and switched to CPA offers. Now I’m playing with 2 offers, I’ve started running Facebook ads and also plan to test PPV traffic as well… however, money needed for these tests, and with low initial budget and cash flow issues, it’s hard to play ppc game for me now – that’s why I’ve decided to setup several SEO sites for Clickbank products.
Today I’ve spent over 4 hours analysing a small bunch of keywords related to this product. The niche is very saturated and there are lots of authority sites in top 10…
I’ve mostly done all the research manually, using Google Keyword Tool and google itself. As you can see, I’ve checked several parameters that I consider important for my picks:
1. Traffic volume (here’s a realistic # of daily searches in the column SEO traffic from Market Samurai)
2. # of competing pages (I simply put my keyword in “” and see the # of results)
3. # of strong competitors (sites that are using my keyword in their link building strategy)
4. Analysis of top 10-20 results, will I be able to outrank them or not. (I did this in Traffic Travis)
Only real test will show which of my 4 picks will turn to success, I already bought 4 keyword-rich domain names. Now I have to start building my sites, analyse competitors, write presell, outsource articles etc… And this is only the start, since I need backlink strategy for each of these sites.
Yes it’s a lot of work but I hope this time the product I gonna promote won’t be removed from Clickbank )))) So I cross my fingers.
I’ll be updating my blog on this experiment, so stay tuned

Hi Giannis!
Sorry to hear about your account lock. I’ve signed up to several CPA networks, but I only work with Neverblue now, and recently got approved in Elite Clicks Media.
I already built a landing page and now I’m building my Yahoo campaign for their offers.
I’m afraid to get kicked of other networks that I don’t work with actively… I think it’s better to concentrate on 1-2 offers and 1-2 networks at a time and prove you’re a real deal. Especially if they pay with direct deposits or other fast way – they’re gold I think.
Part 2 of my current strategy is SEO – I’m planning to build 4 mini-sites…No money to outsource a lot, so I think I’ll get back to good old copywriting job myself.
I write pretty good presells, but it takes me LOTs of time to research the market etc… I wanted to complete my sites within 1 month, since I expect the peak of buyer activity in the niche that I’ve chosen.
I’m following your blog, hope you’ll progress with CPA and SEO as well
