Q&A posts are the easiest for a blogger to write (because your topics are predetermined), and sometimes the best for readers (because real common questions get answered. I’ll start by answering a bunch with text, and then if there’s too many questions to type, I’ll do some with video also.

How many times do you…masticate before swallowing? :D
In all seriousness…how many campaigns do you have running at any given time, what percentage of them produce a ROI, and what percentage of what you make from those that produce ROI do you lose on those that don’t?

How much more difficult do you think PPC based affiliate marketing has gotten since you got started a year ago?
March 20th, 2008 at 2:57 pm

March 20th, 2008 at 2:59 pm

Do you have skype?

Hey Mr. Uber Affiliate,
I would like to know “your’ process from start to finish on creating a profitable ppc campaign. From keyword research to getting paid. :) All done with video!
LOL
Actually my question would be, what is your process for doing keyword research for creating ppc campains? what tools do you use…etc.
Thanks
March 20th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
What software is crucial to success in your business? Particular in PPC …
Word.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:09 pm
Hi.
How do you create initial cash for yourself? I mean, I would refer to your low budget guide, but $50-100 is all I could spare a month.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:13 pm
Do you use software like SpeedPPC or Xtreme conversions or do you have your own exclusive systems?
What is the ROI per campaign you’re targeting?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:19 pm
why do you always brag about your “earnings” but refuse to ever post how much of it is actually profit.
March 20th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
He has posted his profit. In one post he said of the $120,000 revenue in one campaign, $50,000 of that was profit.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:22 pm
Do you ever use the content network? If so, any tips on how to get better CTR and/or conversions?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
How many keywords do you typically have in a campaign? How many keywords are in your largest campaign?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:24 pm
Hi,
I just put a lot of aff links using openads(openx) on a site I help maintain. The site is at http://www.sourcelight.com/discover/new_releases.php. What should be our next steps and what do you think of our implementation? Any other pointers?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Almost all the affiliate sites you recommend to join ask for my website, but I don’t have a website yet, what am I supposed to do?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:36 pm
At your age and ability to obviously network with some damn smart people, what other business models outside of pay per click have you thought about pursuing or are pursuing? Obviously specifics will be omitted but in what areas have you thought about going into or scaling to secure other business ventures?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:39 pm
How do you deal with the unknown factor of what percentage of your leads of sales is going to be rejected? I find it very frustrating to wait for a month to see the approval percentage and by this the actual eCPC.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Do you think affiliate marketing is a long term, sustainable business model?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
I’m liking the questions so far…keep em coming I’ll probably answer a bunch of them tonight/tomorrow morning.
March 20th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Have you ever used offline marketing tactics to market online offers? Such as, classified ads, commercials, magazine ads, etc.
Have you ever bought pop up or pop under traffic?
March 20th, 2008 at 3:55 pm
How much does this blog make you?
How much a month do you save up in your bank account?
Do you have any long term investments such as stocks, CD’s, etc? Care to share?
Thanks,
Jonathan
March 20th, 2008 at 4:05 pm
Do you do anything apart from PPC? Do any of your sites rank organically? Can you program in a lang like PHP and SQL and do you use this for your campaigns, so are you technical basically? Do you use the adwords API much?
If all the answers to these questions is no…. kudos :-)
March 20th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Hi,
I’m about to launch an affiliate at my company and I’m responsible for us not getting sued. What’s the best advice you can give me to avoid the end all?
Rog
March 20th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Does the Google Adwords keyword tool give you search volume for US only or entire world? Is there a tool that shows what people in other countries are searching that doesn’t mix in results from North America?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Do you play Smash Bros? Who’s your main?
On a more serious note, what would you recommend to someone who has read every guide he can find on PPC and landing pages, and still can’t do much more than breaking even?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
Asked these in the last post on Aweber, hoping you answer ‘em now..
How do you measure the value of a subscriber?
And what’s an acceptable CPA to you for getting a new subscriber?
Also, do you start pitching subscribers right away?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Two Part Question :
1. Your girlfriend is pretty hot…. How did you meet such a hot chick if you are always busy working on your campaigns in your basement?
2. Does your girlfriend know the extent of your revenue from your online businesses?
March 20th, 2008 at 5:53 pm
Saw this topic, KNEW there would be something about the girlfriend. hahaha
March 20th, 2008 at 4:38 pm
Is Aweber really worth it?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:44 pm
How many different verticals are you in right now?
What percentage of your revenue does your top vertical bring in?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
What’s best for you, landing page or actual website?
I’ve read articles where google is taking down (slapping down) affiliate sites. I’ve always been more on the website side anyways, I like to do it right but the time and work that goes into it is no joke.
March 20th, 2008 at 4:48 pm
You mention that you create your own landing pages. I notice most networks that run search offers have their own LP that you need to hit (via jumplink) to get the cookie set.
Do you set your LP to go to the affiliate one (essentially 2 LPs before signup) or do you set the cookie yourself and figure out a way straight to the signup/action page? How do you bypass the affiliate page?
March 20th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Also, what changes do you expect to see in the future as a result of the increasing popularity of mobile devices used to access the internet? How is that going to effect affiliate marketers in your opinion?
March 20th, 2008 at 5:17 pm
you mentioned the one of the best things that you’ve done growthwise is attend conferences. What’s the next conference you’re going to so I can book a tix ….
March 20th, 2008 at 5:25 pm
What came first, the chicken or the egg?
March 20th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
Describe a perfect mini-site landing page to get a good QS. Privacy policy, About us etc. is understandable, but what kind of content and how much content would you put on the site? I am not sure how you can incorporate a LP with a content site.
March 20th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Ever ask yourself — why such a big suit?
March 20th, 2008 at 6:28 pm
I also run a 7 figure affiliate business. I am a one man show. I think I had read that you have affiliate managers. How do you trust your campaigns/keywords/methods, etc to them without thinking they will just take them for themselves?
March 20th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
We can make money from adsense with low budget ($10).
Do you have a case studies make money with $10 selling affiliate product using adwords?
I wonder you make an experiment in this blog and share with your readers.
March 20th, 2008 at 6:34 pm
How much do you bench press?
March 20th, 2008 at 6:37 pm
What do you consider the most important above the fold factor for a landing page?
March 20th, 2008 at 6:55 pm
Hi Paul,
I have this little questions:
1. What is a SuperAffiliate? How do you define it? When do you know that you are one?
2. What Networks do you use? Do you go only for Leads? Sales? Do you do ClickBank?
Thanks.
March 20th, 2008 at 6:57 pm
What computer setup do you run?
Looking at buying a new PC, looking for some insight as to what you think the minimum specs should be.
Thanks!
March 20th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
Are you as concerned as I am with the new Yahoo pricing?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:09 pm
Is it better to have a blog where you blog about the market as your full name or as another name? Along with that, is one’s name a good thing to brand?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:16 pm
When you initially put out money to start your own affiliate site, did you worry about losing your money? or were you sure that you would be successful and were confident in putting your money on the line? In other words, do you think affiliates have to be natural risk takers?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:33 pm
Who in this industry impressed you the most in the last 3 months?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:39 pm
#1: How do you scale your offers?
#2: Where do you think you will be in 2 yearS?
#3: Where do you think will the affiliate business be in 2 years?
March 20th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
1. How tall are you?
2. Why don’t you write a step by step guide of the process that you follow from the research stage until making a campaign profitable, along with the tools (i.e: software) that you use and how you use them? No need to share confidential details……..just enough to help newbies start earning decent income so they can reinvest it back. Pretend we are your dentist dad, and write the steps as if you were to explain affiliate marketing to your dad until he gets it profitable. (by the way has he sold his dental practice yet?)
I think a system is necessary :).
March 20th, 2008 at 8:21 pm
-Whats your cut off on a Campaign like clicks to leads ratio before its gone?
-What do you do with your profits?
March 20th, 2008 at 8:43 pm
You had a guest post on shoemoney when facebook ads first came out. Are you still using them and have you had any luck with them?
March 20th, 2008 at 8:59 pm
How do you choose your niches/products and how many campaigns would you recommend running at once? thanks, keep up the good content!

March 20th, 2008 at 9:08 pm
How many ad copies and landing pages do you split test with when creating a new campaign?
March 20th, 2008 at 9:21 pm
I watched this video on a strategy for breaking into tough ppc markets using a strategy of high bids low budget and keep on making new campaigns unitl you can consistently do over 2.5% ctr. I tried this strategy on a market I would like to break into and got hammerd - I was paying $10 a click for position 6 when I know the top 3 places would only be able to afford $1.5 per click max. I lost about $400 testing this offer.
You can watch the video at http://masscontrolsite.com/blog/?p=29 and there is also a free report that summarises the video whcih you can download from http://www.creativedigitalmedia.com/dominate/
Is this a strategy you employ?
March 20th, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Which market in the PPC arena do you consider (1 “hot” at the moment, (2 a long-term sustainable business model, and (3 the easiest and safest to promote
March 20th, 2008 at 10:16 pm
1. What is the first thing you do in the morning?
2. Do you like Pizza or Hamburgers?
3. How tall are you?
4. How long do you take to brush your teeth?
5. Do you prefer paper or plastic?
He. He. Just kidding… Love your blog! Keep up the great work!

What percentage of these questions have you been asked a million times before?
March 21st, 2008 at 12:05 am
Which affiliate network do you currently think is the best?
March 21st, 2008 at 1:19 am
I am only experienced in SEO marketing and know how long it could take trying to get top ten listings in google for a competitive keyword. But trying to learn more about PPC.
Would you rather work on a long process of SEO affiliate markerting trying to get top ten rankings in the search engine for your profitable keywords? or would you stick to PPC because of the “quick” money that you could make?
March 21st, 2008 at 1:32 am
I would really like to see a “best practices” (according to you) on building a landing page.
tis would be awesome. :)
Thanks,
Jordan
March 21st, 2008 at 2:08 am
How did you turn from a failing-to ordenery affilate to a super affilate?
what would you say was the action that sets super affiliates from the rest?
March 21st, 2008 at 3:40 am
1) What percentage of you traffic comes from the content network vs the search network?
2) What is your average CPC?
3) Have you looked into banner ads etc
4) In your landing pages do you normally promote 1 product or do you do the comparison style ones more?
5) Any thoughts on PPV?
Cheers
