Getting Accepted Into CPA Networks

Before you apply to any CPA Network is very important that you have a
clear understanding of how you will be promoting the offers available
within the CPA Network. Most networks like to work with seasoned
veterans within the marketing industry, so it’s going to be important that
you do not appear to be a newbie when it comes to marketing. You’ll
need to understand certain basic concepts.
Modes Of Promotion
When you review an application form for a CPA network, you’ll find a
listing of the types of promotion that you can select from as your means
of promoting the offers.


Upon analyzing the the modes of promotion
that are accepted by most CPA networks. You have the option for banner
displays, pop ups, text links, PPC, SEO, stand alone emails and
newsletter advertising.

You will have to decide which option you’ll be using to promote the CPA
offers. Since at this stage it’s possible that you do not know which mode
you’ll be using, it’s always best to select “Banners”, “Text Links”, and
“PPC” as the options you’ll be using for promoting the CPA offers. Once
accepted you can always add more options to the list.
Your job is to ensure you get accepted into the network as quickly as
possible and show them that you actually know what you are doing.
The first step before applying for any CPA Network is to have a
professional website setup. If you have an old domain name just sitting
around, then it’s time to make use of that domain name, the older the
domain name the better, as it can appear to be a site that was in
existence for a long time.
Also create an email address based off that domain name; that is the
email address you’ll be using to contact them, as it’s more professional.
Do not use a free email address as your mode of contact via
email.
What you’ll be doing is setting up this website to be a blog. You can use
Wordpress that is available for free as your content management script
to make things easy to setup. The reason you are setting up the site as a
blog is simply because it’s a quick and painless process and with some of
the great free themes available online, it can look professional without
you having to do a lot of work.
Once you have Wordpress setup and installed on your site, you’ll need a
theme to use. You can review these sites below for free themes to use
for your blog.

www.skinpress.com
www.freewpthemes.net
www.wpskins.org
Review those three sites to find a free theme that you can use on your
blog. Upon selecting your theme, and setting up your blog, then of
course you’ll need to select a niche or topic for the blog, along with
having content.
This is pretty easy since you are not setting up this blog to be a site that
is going to make you money necessarily, but simply to show the CPA
networks that you have a professional site that will allow you to get
approved quickly. Later, we can work on sites setup specifically for the
CPA offers you’ll be promoting. The role of this site is just to have a
“dummy” site more or less that you can use to get accepted by any CPA
network.
For the content of the blog, you can use PLR articles. There are many
sites that offer free PLR articles that you can freely download and use on
your blog. Most of these sites that offer free PLR articles will request that
you signup to their newsletter but it’s a small price to pay for getting
free content that you can use for the setup of your blog.
Just as a quick note, PLR simply means Private Label Rights. You are
receiving permission to edit and use the downloaded content on your
website.
http://www.plrarticlepro.com
http://www.freemonthlycontent.com
http://www.freeplrarticlesweekly.com
The content you will be provided from these three websites will be more
than enough to fill your blog with high quality content that can make
your blog look professional.
Of course you have the option of writing about ten articles on your own
to fill your blog, but if you are looking to get started as quickly as
possible, you can download articles from these sites.
You should have at least 10 articles on your blog and have it setup in a
very neat format. Do not display any ads on the blog, just ensure that
what you’ve setup looks neat and organized.
Be sure to have a privacy policy and contact form on your blog. You can
have this setup automatically by using the privacy policy plugin &
contact form plugin that are available for Wordpress.
http://www.synclastic.com/plugins/privacy-policy/
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/contact-form-7/
Okay, at this stage I’m assuming you have your blog or website all setup
that you can use for applying to the CPA networks. Do not overlook this
stage, since it is very important that you have a nice and professional
site with good content to present to the CPA network for approval.
With your site setup, you will now also need to be prepared for a phone
call. Yes, in many cases if you do not input a real telephone number that
you can be reached at you will not be approved by the CPA network. The
most popular and reputable CPA networks all require telephone
verification. A very good thing to do is to call them! You should get a
phone number on your affiliate manager when you signup. Yes I know it
can be expensive to call them especially if you aren't resident of the US.
I am not a resident of the US myself, but I still called them. What I did is
I loaded some money into my skype account. It was much cheaper than
using my regular phone.
An affiliate network specialist from the CPA network will call you and ask
you a few basic questions regarding your modes of promotion.
If you input that you’ll be doing Web promotion for CPA offers, they’ll ask
you to verify the site that you will be promoting their offers with, and if
you have any idea of the types of offers you’ll like to promote.
At this stage you need to sound extremely confident and sure of yourself
regarding your promotion methods. Simply inform the affiliate network
specialist that you will be developing websites that cater specifically to
niches that are based off the type of CPA offers available within your
network. The first site which is your “dummy” site should be the example
of such a site.
If you’ve listed PPC as one of the options, more than likely you’ll be
asked about your experience with PPC. Never make it seem like you are
new to PPC. Simply inform the specialist that you will be using Google
Adwords, MSN Adcenter, and Yahoo PPC to promote a variety of offers.
Do not ramble into un-necessary detail, keep it simple and to the point
regarding the answers. Also if the affiliate manager ask if you are a
member of other networks then just say yes even if you aren't mention
some of the pretty well known like if you try to get into marketleverage
say you are already an affiliate for neverblue.
If the affiliate manager asks how much you currently make from CPA
just say you make around 1k a month.
Never say you will be using site such as youtube, myspace, facebook ect.
For promotion. And never say you do incentivized!
In most cases, the networks just want to know that a real legitimate
person is behind the application. Also, they are looking for their next
“top affiliate” so they are basically “feeling you out” to see if you will be
an asset to them. That’s why it’s important that you have a professional
site, and appear as if you have a set plan on promoting the offers
available within their network.

Creating Review Sites For CPA Profit
One of the more popular ways of making money with CPA is to create
review based sites. These sites act as a way of recommending a product.
This is done by actually researching the various products you will be
promoting and conducting keyword research to see how many people are
searching for a review on the particular product.
For example if you are promoting a product called “Acai Berry Blast” then
your site would be setup to write a review for that product along with
other “Acai Berry” products. Your entire site is geared around writing
reviews based on the main niche, which in this case is “Acai Berry”.
That’s basically what review sites are all about. Your goal is to find at
least three products within the niche, and rate and review the three
products. Of course, your CPA offer product should be ranked the best
among the three products. The review needs to appear as natural as
possible, so you do not over hype any of the products or totally belittle
any of the products. You try to sound as objective as possible while
pointing out the pros and cons of each product.
Once you’ve finished with your review, now you’ll have a site that
provides what the people are searching for, which is reviews on specific
products. There are scripts you can use to set this up, but for ease of
use, you can simply use Wordpress again to create these review sites.
You can also simply create a simple HTML template for the review site as
well, since the site will just be based on these reviews and nothing more.
Just remember that after reviewing all the products, that you then give a
final conclusion and list your recommended product which will be your
Writing Articles For CPA Profits
Another great way of making solid profits from CPA offers is by writing
articles and submitting them to article directories. My focus with my
article writing has always been ezinearticles.com since they generate the
most traffic out of all the directories. That’s not to say that you cannot
have good success with others, it’s just that it’s my personal favorite.
We’ve already gone through the process of selecting a CPA product, so
I’m assuming at this stage you’ll know what offer you would like to
promote. To keep the examples uniformed, I’m going to go with “Acai
Berry” again as the example CPA offer. Using the same keyword research
that we’ve done previously, we would now have a set of keywords that
we would want to target, and the articles we’ll be writing will be based
off these keywords.
By default, you can only submit a maximum of 10 articles to
EzineArticles.com when you register your first account. You should write
ten high quality articles that focus on your major keywords and submit
them to EzineArticles.com. That should be your first step.
You need to keep in mind that your resource box needs to be targeted to
your CPA product. For example, your article discusses the “benefits of
acai berry” then in your Resource Box, you’ll have text “soft promoting”
your CPA offer. I mentioned “soft promoting” since you do not want it to
sound like a blatant infomercial. Instead make it appear more as a
recommendation.

It’s best to not direct link to the CPA offer, but instead you can create a
frame box for the offer that re-directs off your actual website. I’ve
posted an example of how the frame box code can appear below.



Your CPA Offer Title










In this code pasted above, this is “masking” and “framing” the CPA offer.
The person visiting your site will still see your domain as the site they
are browsing but it’s actually within a frame that is not visible, therefore
masking the offer. Behind the scenes, your affiliate offer is loaded
through a frame re-direct.

This should be done for all your links within the article directories. You
are allowed two links in your resource box, so one can be to your “main
blog” site that utilizes the creating sites for CPA offers method, and the
second link will point to your CPA offer but using the masked page
mentioned above.
The code above, you would basically save as a page on your actual blog
site. For example it can be acai-berry.html which is a page off your main
blog site.
With your ten articles written for EzineArticles.com, then the next step is
to write ten more articles, but this time these articles will be submitted
to the other directories. You can mass submit these articles to as many
directories as you want. Just ensure that these ten articles differ from
the ones you submitted to ezinearticles.com.
You can use the software below by Brad Callen for mass article
submission. Currently it is free to download
.
http://directorysubmitter.imwishlist.com/

Use the software above to mass submit your ten articles and ensure that
your resource box is set to have two backlinks. One backlink to your
main blog site and one backlink that points directly to your CPA offer
that is based off your main site.
You repeat this process for every CPA offer niche that you have. By
utilizing this technique you are giving link juice to your niche CPA offer
blogs, along with being able to achieve a few sales by direct linking to
Another tip that is very important is to review the top articles and
authors within the niche you are promoting. For example if your offer is
“acai berry” then your niche maybe “weight loss” so you would want to
review the top authors in that category along with the top articles in that
category to follow what they are doing to ensure you receive as much
views as possible.
If you write your articles targeted to specific buyer and long tail
keywords, there is a good chance your article can rank in the top ten
under those specific keywords.
To further increase your chances of your articles ranking high, you can
take it a step further by social bookmarking each article you submit. The
easiest free way of going about social bookmarking is to use the site
below:

your CPA offer through a frame re-direct.
It’s a great way to utilize the power of article promotion.

Creating Sites Based Off Of CPA Offers

Creating Sites Based Off Of CPA Offers
One of the most profitable ways of making money from CPA is to create
niche targeted websites. Earlier I touch briefly on creating blogs and
targeting your blog to your CPA offers, I’m going to now focus on that in
more detail.
As usual, my recommended script for creating these sites is Wordpress.
Now before we proceed to setting up Wordpress and creating the site,
we need to take a look at the inventory of the CPA companies. Log into
your CPA networks and go through the offers available.
What you are doing is looking for offers that pay well, have good affiliate
banners and images that you can use on your site, along with having a
good landing page. For the sake of an example, let’s say that we decided
we wanted to promote an offer that promotes weight loss.
We review the offers in the weight loss category, and we’ve decided that
an “Acai Berry” product is the one we’ll select. In some networks you
may have more than one “Acai Berry” product available, so we select the
one with the best landing page and highest pay out that offers a free
trial.
We have now selected a “niche” which is weight loss, and a product
which is an “Acai Berry” product. It’s now time to dig deeper into what
we’ll be talking about on the blog that we are about to setup. To find
topics to discuss we need to do some keyword research.


There are a variety of tools that you can use for your keyword research,
but there are two main tools that I like to use.
Google Keywords External Tool
https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal
Free Word Tracker
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com/
By utilizing these tools you can come up with a variety of keyword
related topics that you can talk about on your blog. The purpose of the
keyword research is to also give your blog the chance to rank high in the
search engines under a variety of long tail keywords.
In our “Acai Berry” example, we input the keyword “Acai Berry” into both
the Google Keywords External Tool and Free Word Tracker. We then
analyze the results.
Based on the results we’ll then take a few of the long tail keywords,
which are keywords that have a higher chance of achieving top rankings,
along with more “buyer” oriented keywords. A “buyer oriented” keyword
is usually associated with a product name.
For example, when I searched for “acai berry” among the results were
“acai berry” products that were available for sale. These specific product
names are what I call “buyer oriented”. It means these people are
looking for a specific product and more than likely if that product can be
shown in a positive light, they’ll be inclined to buy.
A non buyer keyword would be “acai berry research”. The people who
search for that keyword may buy your product, but they may just be
looking for more information on “Acai Berry” in general. What you want

to target with your blog are those keywords where people are looking to
take action.
If you wanted to take this a step further you can narrow your keyword
research even further by using the keyword “buy acai berry” this way
you are presented with the keywords people are using that want to buy
the product now. By focusing on the “buy” keyword in front of the
product category, you are getting the people who are ready to buy.
Another tip is to simply replace the word “buy” with “purchase” and
you’ll find another set of people who are ready to buy. You can also input
the word “review” and you’ll find people who are looking for feedback,
and these people can turn into buyers as well.
Now that you’ve got your keywords, then the next step is to register a
keyword rich domain name that includes the keyword of your niche. In
this case the niche is “acai berry” so you would want to register a
keyword with the keywords “acai berry” at the beginning of the domain
name.
Once you’ve registered the domain name, you can now begin to setup
Wordpress and start writing or posting articles that cater specifically to
the keywords you have researched. If one of the keywords researched
was “best acai berry to buy” then that should be the title of your post,
along with providing a short article about the topic. Of course the “best
acai berry to buy” that you would be recommending is your CPA offer.
You do this for all your “buyer keywords” and you’ll have a blog that
focuses on long tail keywords specific to buyers who are going to be
interested in the CPA offer that you are promoting. This is the best way
to go about creating sites that are based off your CPA offers.
This same technique can work for every CPA product that you will be
promoting. Your goal is simply to research CPA products, find buyer
keywords that relate to your product, register keyword rich domain
name, and post articles on your blog that are based off your keyword
research.
If you can follow this simple guideline you can create a network of blogs
that promote a variety of your CPA offers. This way you will have a blog
for every CPA offer you promote. It’s important that you do it this way,
instead of packing all your CPA offers on one blog. Each site needs to be
tailored to your specific CPA offer.
I’ve had the most success with this approach, and it’s one of the
fundamentals of building sites that are specific to your CPA offers.
