Your SEO and PPC efforts and the traffic that they generate can easily be channeled into great profits through the smart use of affiliate marketing. Essentially, you allow Google to place advertisements on your website using their AdSense service, and you will earn a commission for every person who click on these ads. While you won’t earn huge amounts of money at once, the dollars and cents can add up, dependent upon the price of every click you transmit. Here’s the jist of it all : you’ll generate a profit form these clicks as long as you’re spending less money to get them than the rewards that you receive.

With Google AdSense promotions, its all about paying less than what the clicks youre delivering is paying you. There are ways to find long-tail search terms, pay at a low cost-per-click, to get traffic to your site. Say you are promoting a high-dollar click on your website like DUI Attorney. That click on Google costs around $30+ per click, so the commission you will earn from AdSense will be much higher than a click that would cost $3 per click.

So lets say you find some inexpensive long-tail keyword search terms like DUI Attorney Pasadena, CA. And since youll bid for a lower position (say at .25 per click), you hope to get the lower-cost clicks to get people to your site.

From there, you hope that what you offer on your site is more value-added (Like a site with DUI articles, or local Pasadena traffic articles) … attracts that person to click your AdSense ad, where you get paid say $1 per click. In this example, you are getting a large return on your .25, but it is incredibly risky … can be very costly if it doesnt work out and will cost you $$ if 4 out of 5 people dont convert. Many people have tried buying clicks at a low cost, then essentially reselling on their own site, but have had little success. The point here is it will take you a lot of time, trial … error, and money to get the right recipe to profit from this.

If you can’t afford the money or time that this process requires, you can concentrate your efforts on long-tail keywords. By optimizing your website correctly, you can generate an organic boost by going after keywords that are less sought after. With this method, your CTR is irrelevant, and you won’t spent lots of money trying to find the right formula. Time is all that you need to invest to make this work. And once you’ve invested your time, it definitely won’t cost you cash, whether it fails of ultimately succeeds.
