Just a bit about search engine optimization.

You can make a lot of use of the traffic that is coming to your site thanks to SEO and PPC efforts through affiliate marketing; and make a lot of money at the same time. If you are using Google Adsense, what this means is that any time someone clicks on any of the ads that Google has put on your site, you are earning a commission. Depending on the click that is going to Google, this can be anywhere from pennies to dollars that you are earning at any one time; either way, it isn’t going to be a whole lot. On the other hand, if they are paying you more in commission for the click than you paid to get it, you are going to be making money.

Remember, you want to pay less for the click than Google Adsense is going to be paying you for it. You have to find ways to get traffic on your site that will be willing to use long-tail search terms that you have paid very little for. For example, let’s say that your site is promoting DUI Attorney, or some click that is equally high-dollar. Since that runs about $30 for each click on Google, your commission from AdSense is going to be much higher than if you were advertising for something which only cost $5 a click.

So, you’ve discovered a low-cost long-tail search term keyword, such as ‘DUI Attorney Pasadena CA’. When you place a bid for a position that is lower, for example 25 cents for each click, you have hopes that these less expensive clicks will draw an audience to your website.

You also need to make sure that your site offers things relating to this click, like articles on DUI or traffic laws in Pasadena or anything of this nature, which will not only make people come to your site but be willing to click on the Adsense ad you are running, from which you are making $1 per click. You have to agree that this doesn’t sound like that bad of a deal; however, if nobody is clicking on your ads, then you are going to be losing the money you have invested — this really is a risky business. Not everyone has what it takes to make money through buying low cost clicks and then running them on their own websites. You are going to have to be willing to invest not only money, but the time and effort necessary to figure out exactly what is going to work the best to make a profit.

OR, you can invest that time in a wiser fashion by focusing on SEO as a source for those long-tail search keywords. You can do the same amount of work, get words that are less competitive, and if your page is correctly optimized, you will be better off in the long run. No matter your CTR, you are going to end up having to invest less of your capital in the venture. Your time is going to be the biggest investment you will have to make. Once you have invested the necessary time, whether you end up making a lot of money in this venture or only a little, it is not going to cost you anything out of your own wallet.
