Ask me questions by posting a comment, then I’ll answer them.
Let’s do it.
Are you having an up trend or a down trend with your revenue over the last 3 months?
Do you like chocolate?
Can you talk a bit about PartnerWithPaul.com? What kind of affiliate training is it and how much involvement do you have in the program?
Do you try and tailor your landing pages to resemble the merchants landing page?
Did CX Digital create your landing pages and KW lists for you?
1. what niche are you targetting?
2. what is your landing page url?
3. what are you keywords?
i second that. ;)
….or he could just hand you $200K.
good try.
Has anybody told you you look like Michael Phelps?
Very true.
Does CX Digital really make your landing pages and keyword lists so you don’t have to?

Affiliate Marketing with an Attitude
Hi there, and thanks 4 the opportunity.
I’ve been long time lurking, first time posting (Congrats 4 blog QUALITY anyway!)
I’m good in SEO, and I”m already doing well with Adsense & my own seo consulting biz.
Should I invest time in learning the Affiliate Marketing basics? And Why?
P.s. English is not my motherlanguage, my online assets and experience are targeted mainly to italian people.
I’d like very much to hear your take.
Best,
Maurizio
What blogs, newspapers and magazines do you read regularly? Would you recommend them to someone just getting started in affiliate marketing?
WHat do you think about those AM that say that crappy/cheap looking landing pages convert better than proffesional looking?
Will you post a detailed case study of one of your huge campaigns that died out? Thanks.
How did you manage to get into affiliate summit east when it is clearly 21+ only and everyone knows you are only 19?
He’s 20 now. And he’s a major revenue producer.
Do affiliate marketers get a lot of puzzy?
I have mainly used affiliate programs which pay a percentage of the sale. I get the impression a lot of the top affiliate marketers make most of their money from cost per action programs. Can you please advise what percentage of your total income comes from cost per action as opposed to cost per sale. Thank you.
When you first start your campaign, you mentioned you want to bid “high” to get the good CTR and collect good stats as soon as possible, but how do you determine what is the high bid for that particular niche you are targeting?
You ever had sex with your girl friend ??
Paul,
What would you do if your campaign was doing great, then one day, the CTR stayed roughly the same, but the conversion rates dropped by 5% or more? You try switching networks with the same offer, you find out that other affiliates are not having a severe drop in conversion rates, you even try changing out your landing page, and ad copy. Your average position is the same, but the dam campaign is converting like crap. What would you suggest?
How does it feel to be a home owner?
Did you lose your blog content writer?
Could you email me your instant messaging contact?
I promise not to bug you with questions every single hour… =)
From what I understand, the huge leap in your income was the result of meeting the right people. Obviously, the guys you met wouldn’t guide you in the right direction if they didn’t expect something from you in return. So what kind of approach did you use to get what you wanted out of them? What did they expect from you?
Do you think you’d do as well if you promoted pay-per-sale affiliate programs like those found in Clickbank and Commission Junction?
What was the ONE action you took that blasted you from barely-making-it to several millions dollars in affiliate marketing income?
Do you think PPC Affiliate Marketing is *largely* a “find a needle in a haystack” kind of game? Meaning you’ve to throw up 50 campaigns to find 1 profitable one.
What tools do you use to build your keyword lists?
Is there a way to do direct linking? Do you still do it?
Could you be my mentor?
Hi, what niche do you target?
Who the fuck are you that you are the go to guy for questions about ANYTHING?
Maybe because he makes more than you do? Who the fuck are you?
Can you describe how you start an affiliate offer in 10 steps or less?
Like:
1. Choosing niche
2. Building/buying landing page
3. Research on ppc
4 etc etc
Hi Paul,
Great to be open to questions again:
1 How do structure your testing landing pages? Do you just name them index1.htm index2.htm etc? Same for internal non-index pages? Seems clumsy but it’s how I do it…
2 Do you use drupal or other CMS for most of your sites? If not, what do you usually use?
3 Do you still design many of your sites? (ie. is it a key skill to learn and apply)
4 Do you pay to have your content written, and then just add all the articles to the site?
Thanks!
Paul,
I wonder were you get traffic from except from PPC. Do you use any traffic from Image hosting sites or Web proxies? Do you think traffic from those sources might be useful and “monetizable” and if yes what would you try to market on sites like that?
thanks in advance.
How much text is on your Landing Pages? Tons of bla bla or just a few word like “Buy this crap now!”
What do you think of PartnerWithPaul.com? Another scam?
How do you prevent your landing pages from getting slapped in Google? Do you just do landing pages, or do you do full content sites that you have to update regularly?
Do horses wear socks?
hahahahahaha most hilarious question so far! :D
What ever happened to you teaching your Dad affiliate marketing? Did that ever happen and if it did how did it go?
Do you tend to build micro-sites or just landing pages for your campaigns?
I have shifted towards mirco-sites, in an attempt to incorporate SEO into my site design. I am not sure if it’s worth the extra effort.
Is it important to cloak our referrers so the networks don’t see our landing pages or is just cloaking our keywords good enough. I’ve heard of people’s conversions going up after they allowed networks to see their landing pages. But I also heard networks will give out your LP to other affiliates if they see it is working and they also might use it for their own in house PPC team.
Also with the current state of our financial system with some banks failing. Do you need to open up multiple business bank accounts and just put $100K in each? FDIC only insures up to $100K per bank…or is there something else you can do since you are running a business?
What’s with these wierd small posts?
How many split-tests do you conduct to get your campaign’s ads CTR up to a decent level?
hmmm Paul, it’s hard to come up with a question that hasn’t already been answered by you….but…
Have you ever used Wordze as a keyword tool and did you like it if you did?
How do you think affiliate marketing will change in the next year or so?
Could you give an in-depth guide on how to build a landing page…maybe even show us a case study?
What qualities or advantages do you think you possess make you successful, and moreso than the average joe aff marketer?
what’s up uber? it was good meeting you at ASE. how was poker?
good times. say whats up if your at ASW.
- Wes
Do you still do direct linking for PPC currently? Is it still doable to make good income from doing that with Neverblue on non-Google search engines? Thanks!
Paul,
When you decide to move into a new niche, how do you decide how much to start bidding? What ad positions do you aim for?
yea good question what positions do you always aim for when starting a new niche?
How do you choose an offer for new campaigns?
Do you do more lead or sale offers with PPC?
Which affiliate networks do you use?
i want to interview you for a german blog, interested?
I would like to learn more about google adwords and affiliate marketing. Anymore details on that subject? How to get the right keywords at the right price etc
Is Jonathan Volk Really A hacker?!?!! Hahahaha. J/k
No, but quite possibly a douche!!! Hahahaha. J/k
I second that.
Worse than a douche…
+1
did you grad highschool or are you in college ?
he got dropped from school i guess..
Is Jonathan Volk your gay partner?
hahahaha you better answer that before hand!
I find it hard to articulate what Affiliate Marketing is to people that have never heard of it. And I feel that it is up to me to make what I do for a living sound at least somewhat ‘cool’. How do you explain what Affiliate Marketing is to people and make it sound cool?
Hey Paul I like your blog man I really do, but lately your post are sucking up.
What do you think of Amit Mehta?
What car do you drive?
Why do you even bother blogging anymore? It’s quite evident that you do not want to write content anymore, and even numerous reviews from UberCamp state that you really did not provide them anything.
Are you really gay?
how would he be gay when he got himself a cute gf!
What system are you using to conceal your keywords? Do you associate keywords with correlating numbers so that only the numbers show instead of the keywords, thus keeping the keywords private for you?
I’ve been google slapped, All my keywords can’t be used anymore. Is there anything I can do?
yeah market with skill, idiot.
Why do people call you GooberAffiliate all the time?
Hey man, I just launched a social networking for affiliates at mycutegalaxy.com so i was wondering as a regular reader of uberaffiliate.com would you reduce the price to write a review of the site when you start site reviews?
when starting out an adwords account, do you think it is wise to fix your daily budget at something like $5k to $10k?
what should i do to make money in a country where not exists quality affiliates, where people don´t think like americans, where is really hard to sell a single click…
pd: i´m talking about Spain
1. How can new affiliates break free from the n00b pack? At what point, quantitative or otherwise, do you think they have done this?
2. Do you think it is easier now, or more difficult, to become a ’superaffiliate’ (whatever that means) than it was when you started a year and half ago?
I’m not Paul, but here’s the answer to your questions:
1. Grind it out. Success comes more from hard work (and a little luck) than anything else. Don’t worry about becoming a “super affiliate” - just concentrate on making money.
2. Obviously, it’s more difficult now as more people become aware of the opportunities of AM. But this industry is still in it’s infancy - so there is a lot of room to make a lot of money.
Good luck.
Do you use separate hosting for your landing pages and blog? If so, what do you recommend for a hosting company?
I second this question
I wish that this blog just like it has a Spam filter, it would also have some kind of an idiot filter. That way this comments space wouldn’t be full of stupid and insulting comments.
People, Paul makes the amount he makes because he actually works. This blog does not generate him that much money if at all so be thankful of the time he already invests in it. You can find EXCELLENT advice and info here, but he´s not a content machine. If you want great daily advice and support pay some other affiliate the four digit amounts they charge for consultation and just please stop posting stupid comments here.
Licking pauls balls eh? :-p
Do you ever switch off your computer
What football (soccer) team do you support….?
where do you find the ideas for your posts?
What gave you the idea to work in this industry?
Did you buy John Reese’s Traffic Secrets 2?
have you ever used socialmedia.com , how did it work out for you
Hey bud,
1. When you test an offer, do you direct link or using LP right of the bat.
2. Where do you test the offer? I mean adcenter or yahoo?
3. Let’s say I done my keyword research, I fired up a campaign. I bid high in order to achieve high positions and to maintain high ctr (You do it also right?). Whats your daily budget for this period of time? How long it takes you to delete the losing keywords?
4. How much do you benchpress? How much do you deadlift?
Thanks buddy…
ok so I was thinking about getting into affiliate marketing cuz I heard about Harrison Gervirtz and u but u said that your loosing money right now so now i am kind of scared to and dont you have to do new subjects every like month because ur niche wont work for long and there isnt that many subjects I can do. So what should I do?should I do this and some other stuff to make some money online like??
What do you do to get Google to let up on a Quality Score slap.
Hey, first up
1) do you target canada, uk, aus traffic etc? when do you choose to do so?
2) do wht works for google works for yahoo and msn as well? if not, do you test out every campaign on all 3?
3) my CTR, ave position and cpc has been fairly constant for a while. is this normal or are the cpc supposed to drop, ave position get better etc? Thanks man.
I know that google is super crazy about direct linking(forwarding my domain to the website of the advertiser), but what if there isn’t anyone else doing the same thing? I thought it was okay to do that as long as no one else is going to the same page. I am nervous I am going to get G slapped since I just got into the game a few months ago and FINALLY found something that is bringing in some $$$. I am so happy but scared at the same time!
Should I make a site just in case? I don’t want to have to start the campaign over since I am paying 1/4 of what my max click is and I am in the 1st position right now.
Please help.
