OK. Now back to the point. So in a CPA based Affiliate Marketing, the advertiser is a company looking for more customers, and the affiliate, is the one, who will provide it, for which, he/she will get paid a commission. Of course, the visitor action will actually dictate this, as you know by now.
It's all about 'ACTION', as the name suggests. You pay your affiliate based on the visitor action. You get paid as an affiliate, based on your visitor's action. A great way to "Make Money On The Internet".
This is an excellent marketing strategy, no doubt.
Think about it. If you employ a team of affiliates, and offer them some exciting commissions for referrals, sales etc., you will hit the sky in no time with this marketing strategy. You see the power here.
As discussed in PPC Marketing, CPA or cost per action is a form of ppc advertising, where the payment to the publisher or affiliate, depends on the action that a visitor takes. This form of advertising is also referred to as Pay Per Action model.
Cost Per Action is also known as Cost Per Acquisition. This is basically a fancy word for "Lead Generation".
When exploring various marketing strategies to market your product or services, you obviously look for that call of action, the "click". If you are budget-conscious, and you are of course, then your formula for success with CPA advertising is:
$ spent = A customer gained
If that is the case, then, a cost-per-action model is worth evaluating.
Why do you think, this Marketing Strategy work for marketers?
Because, this type of marketing and advertising results in the following:
Get you closer to qualified customers.
Results in higher customer conversion and good Return On Investment (ROI).
Eliminates the much hated click fraud, which drains your ad budget.
CPA advertising models ensure that you only pay for legitimate leads, like a phone call, an email contact, a zip code, an online form submission etc. As an action based ad model, cost-per-action marketing, puts the control in your hands, and enables better management of your ad dollars.
That said, the biggest challenges you will be facing though, is Traffic, Time and Conversion.
Well, well. Here we are again discussing this guy. Keyword Research is the backbone of Internet marketing. You will have to research your niche market and understand your visitor's needs up-close. Keyword research is where you start.
Organizing all your related keywords under one group, and thus forming a very tight and highly optimized keyword group, is in fact, the key to scoring high with CPA marketing.
This results in quite a few good things:
---> Improve your quality score.
---> Lower your minimum bid pricing.
---> Lower your 1st page ranking bid price in search engines.
---> Lower your Ad cost and keep it under budget.
---> Improve your visitor conversion and ROI (Return On Investment).
Negative keywords are just that, negative keywords. They are non-targeted keywords, targeted by the freebie hunters. An absolute waste of your ad money. What else to say!
If you don't identify and filter out these keywords, then good luck...
Setting up your ad group and campaign becomes easy, once you have identified and organized your related keywords into a tightly knit keyword group.
The point of this whole exercise is to structure your ad Groups and campaigns in such a way that, they are optimally positioned to take the fullest advantage of your paid web traffic.
This is the face of your CPA marketing, so to say. Your product/service is represented by your ad and your subsequent landing page or website, where you will direct your paid traffic.
Effective landing pages are crucial to your success with CPA or Cost-Per-Action Marketing, whichever way you choose to call it. You need to master the copywriting skills to create an irresistible landing page for your CPA Marketing!
You should therefore be creating various ads that are compelling and highly targeted using your keyword grouping. This will ensure that, your ads are profitable.
And, if you have a well written sales copy for your landing page or your website, then that will ensure a high conversion ratio and ROI.
Why am I getting a feeling that, you are a bit confused by the IM lingos here.
Cost per action is a strategic bidding option, to ensure that your campaigns end up with optimized conversions in exchange for your advertising spend. In other words, you control your ad spend through low cost keywords that are targeted to your niche with little competition.
This ensures that your ads get clicked most of the times, assuming that, you have a well written ad and well targeted for the keywords. This will get you a good return for your investment (ROI).
Don't take bidding lightly and easy as it may look. In fact, you really need to know the process well and then apply it very tactfully. This obviously requires some analytical skills and application. CPA success is driven by low cost and high conversion ads.
