December has been an interesting month indeed in the affiliate marketing world. Mass account-bannings have seemed to be the norm, on a much larger scale than I recall hearing about before. And while some are pointing fingers at the truly scammy advertisers and scam products, the truth is that this latest sweep has hit people at all levels of adwords advertising, from the tiniest “little guy” to some big Goliaths. I know people who only ran a few Clickbank offers that got banned.

Personally I think Google has broader ambitions of shutting down affiliate marketing as a whole - but I’ll go into that more in the near future.

CPA marketing in particular has been taking a lot of heat as being responsible for this latest crackdown… and I don’t know if that’s completely undeserved. Let’s face it, an awful lot of CPA offers (but not all) are really sketchy at best.

But the fact is that you can go do a Google search right now and still find plenty of CPA offers coming up in the PPC listings. So obviously SOMEONE is still able to run these offers. Do they know something you don’t? That’s a very likely possibility… after all one of the biggest advantages in this industry is having specialized knowledge (and of course, then implementing that knowledge in the form of action).

So it’s definitely interesting timing then, that a couple of guys I mastermind with and am fortunate enough to call friends, are about to share some of this specialized knowledge with us all. You’ve probably heard of them already if you’re in the CPA game at all - Amish Shah and his partner Jay Styles.

Now I know not everyone is a huge fan of Amish and Jay - after all they are definitely “bad boys” of affiliate marketing, willing to do *almost* anything to make their business profitable. They are well known for saying things like “screw Google, they’re not the law” and opening up tons of Adwords accounts so that they can completely dominate markets. They’re known for mass-executing pretty much any profitable TOS-breaking trick you can think of.

But clearly whatever they’re doing works, because they’re still cranking away high volume CPA campaigns despite the most recent account shutdowns. I’m sure even they have felt at least SOME pain from the recent turn of events, but when your biggest problem is that your average daily revenue dropped from $20,000 to $15,000, then that’s a pretty “high quality problem” in my book.

So where is all this going? Amish has always dabbled a little bit in the “IM” world with the release of well known products like the original Google Goggles, his “The New PPC” educational video series (still on Youtube and filled with good info), the Hexatrack family of software products, and of course for this year’s Magic Bullet Seminar which was pretty phenomenal.

He’s now setting out to reveal exactly how his business is still cranking out over $14,000 per day average, in gross CPA commissions even after all the recent google slaps. I’m sure some of it is going to have to do with other traffic sources, media buys, that sort of thing. But he insists that they’re still going strong with Adwords too, and are going to give away an entire campaign - keywords, landing pages & all - so that you can see exactly how they’re doing it.

Like I mentioned already, Amish & Jay’s style (no pun intended ) isn’t for everyone… but if you’re someone who’s willing to bend rules occasionally and care more about profitability than “being nice”, then this stuff is probably right for you. If nothing else I’m sure the free content they’re providing will give you some solid ideas and maybe even an “aha” moment or two.

So check it out and jump on any nuggets you come away with… as with most of the information out there, it’s likely that most people won’t act on it so those who do stand to profit the most!

In case you missed it, Jay and the gang over at PPCLoophole have added a low-cost trial. For $4.95 you can get access to their training material and tools, including SpeedPPC 4.0.

It’s being mentioned all over the place and I’m certainly joining the chorus - but if you’ve been relying on Adwords for your traffic, you’ve either just been shafted or are pretty much just waiting for it to happen. Since SpeedPPC supports so many other PPC traffic sources, it seriously behooves you to learn how to use it effectively, and fast. There’s already a mad rush to other PPC platforms like Yahoo, Bing, and the 2nd tier engines… make sure you don’t miss out on what is actually a huge opportunity for some who lost their Adwords accounts. Check out SpeedPPC and start getting your traffic back!!

Part promo, part heart-to-heart… here’s a video I just recorded.  Details about the bonuses mentioned, can be found in this previous post.

UPDATE

I just got word that Gauher is only opening 100 more spots to PPV Formula, and I suspect those will disappear in a matter of minutes. So if you need to get into PPV marketing, you’d better be on the trigger Saturday morning at 9am EST!

PPCF2 will in fact be closing its doors at midnight EST tonight, Tuesday November 3rd.

That means there’s about 9 hours left as of this writing if you are thinking that PPC and CPA marketing might be for you, and to get the bonuses I’m offering:

www.tooltrainer.com/kwbot-reveal/

And don’t forget that the upsell is the one-and-only PPVFormula2.

You’re going to start seeing a whole lot of PPV courses come out in the next few months, but I still say there’s nothing as thorough as PPVFormula, and certainly nothing with the community of the PPVF forum.

There’s also nothing like the bonus I’m offering for PPVF buyers either.  See for yourself:

http://tooltrainer.com/tools/blog/my-ppvformula-payperview-formula-bonus/

Gauher’s focus is on CPA marketing, which is not for everyone.  Of course the techniques he teaches can be adapted to just about anything, but his personal focus is on CPA because that’s what he does to earn his living (I know this for a fact as I’ve sat with him in his home while he works on his campaigns & does his stats.  He’s the real deal 100%).

But if you’re not sure if CPA marketing is appropriate for you, the best thing to do is try it and see.  You’ve got 30 days to check out all the material.  But if you already know you won’t have time to get to it, or you know you won’t follow through, or this is just the next “shiny object” for you, then please save yourself the time & hassle and don’t bother.

Gauher’s materials work for those who make the time to make them work.

To all new members, welcome aboard!

Here’s a first… I decided to do an “unboxing” video on this one, since it was literally a big box!

If you’ve wanted to know what EXACTLY you actually get with CPA Tsunami, watch me as I open it for the first time and walk through it live…

My general impression:  Very thorough and quality looking product.

Jonathan

OK, maybe not exactly a hot seat… but I certainly am gonna try to ask some good questions.

I’m going to be interviewing Gauher Monday night, at 8pm EST.  Being as I’m not one of his big success stories with PPC traffic (all his fault for teaching me PPV LOL), it will be interesting to see what he has to say to some of my questions.

I promise to make it as informational and interesting an interview as I possibly can.  Oh but I don’t know that he’s going to make a replay available so make sure you’re on it live if you want to hear it.  I know there’s over 100,000 people hearing about this already and only 1,000 spots on the webinar so, better get on early and hold your spot.

I’m really looking forward to it!

Jonathan

P.S.

Let me know what questions you would ask in the comments and I’ll do my best to work them in!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that I’ve made my Demographic Domination video available to all members of PPVFormula.

Details can be found here

Enjoy!

Jonathan

OK on the off chance that you’re reading this and somehow are NOT on Gauher’s mailing list already (and you really should be if you’re at all interested in making more money from paid traffic and CPA offers in particular…) I have just one thing to day.

GO GET ON HIS LIST!  LOL

OK but seriously… the thing I wanted to be sure to mention was a strategy that he turned me onto early this year, that allows you to have a second (or third, fourth, etc.) chance at converting your visitor into a lead/sale/whatever.  Bottom line - it works.

I mean think about it - what are your bounce rates like?  Like most everyone else I’m gonna bet they’re really really high, like maybe up in the 80% range?  That means 80% of your traffic just GOES AWAY!  And believe me they’re gone… not likely to come back again any time soon and if you paid for them, then that royally sucks.

But if you can make them stop and reconsider leaving, in a way that doesn’t HAVE to be obnoxious… you’d be hard pressed to not make more money with this strategy.

So go check it out… Gauher’s giving it away along with some other phenomenal material from his PPCFormula course, totally for free.  I know you’re gonna love it.

Jonathan

I just got word that the Outsource Method goes up in price by a HUGE factor today… something like a $700 or $800 price increase, I’m not exactly sure.  Oh and they wont’ have a $1 trial anymore either.

So if Daniel & Marc’s information seemed like something you’d want to implement pretty much EVER, then today is the last day to buy it and not pay a crapload more than everyone else.

Enjoy!

Jonathan

OK gang, here it is at last… announcing my bonus for those who purchase PPVFormula through my link:

1)  An account with my exclusive, private keyword tool - KWBot. This is a little different than what I’ve done in the past however… it will NOT require a monthly membership fee, however it will also not include any keyword credits each month, you’ll have to pay as you go.  In KWBot, there is a credit system and each credit gives you 1,000 unique keywords that you can pull down into your account.  Each credit costs $1 if you aren’t on a subscription plan (or if you run out).  This means that keywords are WAY more expensive without a subscription, but you only pay when you use it… so there’s a tradeoff.  If you decide you want to upgrade to a monthly subscription of $30 instead, just let me know and I’ll set it up.  This bonus account will come with 5 credits to get you started, after that you’ll need to purchase more when you use it.

2)  Access to my Prepop Power Profits report. The subhead pretty much says it all -

“How I Built a List of Over 60,000 Optins in Less than 6 Weeks and Earned $64,821.60 in CPA Commissions Doing It!”

This was a technique that I had to uncover for myself because NOBODY was talking about it (and I mean it, I hunted high & low for anyone saying anything about prepop… and found almost nothing.)  It was done all with PPV traffic although the concept applies regardless of your traffic source.  I had people contact me within days of implementing this that had suddenly gone from $50/day in profits to $300/day just from this one technique.  Until now this has only been available to people who referred enough leads to www.CPAHotSpot.com but you can get it without any additional effort!

3)  FIRST-TIME-EVER EXCLUSIVE! I am working on a very high level follow-up course that will be for PPVFormula community members only, designed to take Gauher’s existing techniques and crank them up with everything I have learned through LOTS of trial and error, about using PPV traffic.  I’m going to GIVE you one powerful module from this course for free as part of this bonus.  It’s titled “Demographic Domination” and goes in depth about obtaining and using demographic data in your PPV campaigns.  This is stuff that is mentioned but really not covered in depth in PPVFormula, and will give you a huge edge in your campaigns if you utilize it.

So there you have it, what I think is an absolutely stellar bonus for buying PPVFormula.  This is totally unique stuff that you can’t find anywhere else.  Oh and if you’re not familiar with KWBot, check out the tutorials here.
