I started a direct link campaign the other day on the Google Content Network. The product is a higher priced Clickbank product, and is not internet marketing related.

I bid .01 for search since I didn’t feel like setting up the ad groups to be tight with relevant landing pages, etc. etc.

I bid about $0.22 for the content network and kept my daily campaign limit to $25.

I checked my CB account today and saw a nice ~$100 commission from 1 click from the content network.

I was pleasantly surprised. This just shows you that not all content traffic is bad. Advanced PPC marketers know this. You can get incredible traffic (in quality and amount) from content networks. If you try it, just make sure to keep your bids low at first and set a low daily budget and TRACK. See what sites convert for you and what sites don’t.

More on this later…

PS - I use Keyword Radar for all of my tracking.

Article Marketer Review - One of the best ways to promote yourself and/or your website online is through article marketing. Article marketing allows you to get some of your content out on the web in a way that has tons of sites linking back to your site.

This strategy is suitable for all internet marketers, beginner or not.

I used to write an article and then hand submit them to a few sites, but it never made a huge impact. Then, I tried using a “free” article announcer tool that I got as a bonus with an ebook I bought. This software was a little buggy, and I never got great results from this either.

Recently, I decided to try Article Marketer. There are a few different packages that you can try ranging from Free to a Lifetime membership.

I actually decided to go with the 1 year membership for $199, which I believe is now $169 with a discount.

Once your article is uploaded and approved (within 1 business day), Article Marketer submits your article to over 4000 sites and over 67,000 people. It does this over the period of a year. This way, the search engines see you gaining backlinks over time, and not all at once. This ensures that your article marketing will be seen as a “white hat” strategy. Your site won’t be punished by the search engines.

The thing is now that I’ve used Article Marketer, I’ll never go back to the old way of doing things. It simply saves me too much time.

Hopefully, you’ve enjoyed this Article Marketer Review and learned a little bit about the service. A few days ago, Article Marketer came out with an Instant Savings program that has some heavy discounts on quarterly, annual, and lifetime memberships. Plus, now they’re including custom written articles with the membership so there is no reason not to get started. At the very least, try out the free program.
