A discussion of earning with Affiliate Programs, SEO, Wordpress Blogging and General Motivational Ideas for Internet Publishers

Program Overview :

NeverblueAds is a Cost per Action (CPA) network that only pays publishers for actions generated as a result of their promotion. If you’re like me and prefer CPA networks that feature a significant amount of lead based programs then NeverblueAds is definitely one network you will want to join.

Publishers are permitted to send traffic directly to most ads on the network. However, there are specific ads which require a publisher built landing page for certain promotional methods. This requirement, along with any other requirements or restrictions, will be outlined in the campaign Terms & Conditions or under the Search Marketing Restrictions for each specific campaign. If a campaign you wish to promote requires that you agree to any Terms & Conditions before gaining access to your links or creatives, please read all terms carefully prior to promoting. This question is often posed by SEM publishers who are under the impression that landing pages are required for Search Engine Marketing. Although landing pages are not a requirement, they can be very helpful for improving your ranking on some search engines.

When you signup you will be required to provide a valid phone number for a NeverblueAds Account Manager to contact and verify your information. On the site it says that they will contact you within a few days of your application but several people report that calling NeverblueAds at 1.877.LEAD.GEN will get your account verified much quicker than if you wait for the call from them. When I setup my account, it was on a Saturday night and on Monday morning I called and spoke to my assigned AM Craig and he had me setup within minutes of calling. I know many people will complain about having to validate a phone number but there is a significant upside to this. Once you’re verified in NeverblueAds, you won’t have to wast much time applying to programs that are manual approval like publishers are required to do in CPA networks such as Commission Junction. The majority of programs in NeverblueAds are automatic approval, however there are a few that require a publisher to agree to Terms & Conditions as previously stated above.

One of the exciting ascpects about NeverblueAds is that they’re garnering a very positive reputation for publisher support. When operating in a professional affiliate network of this calibre it is important that publishers never be intimidated or afraid to contact your AM (Account Manager) regarding any issues or questions you might have.

Payment Details :

The default method of payment is by cheque sent by mail. However, when you contact your AM (Account Manager) you can request payment via Paypal.

Referral Program :

NeverblueAds also has a great referral program that operates on two unique payment structures :

- Get Paid By Signup
  The Per signup referral program where you can get paid right away when you generate a signup. Each successful signup earns you a $2 lead commission.

- Referral Commission Program
  Refer affiliates to NeverblueAds and make money! Earn 2% of what your referrals generate in revenue.

Reporting and Campaign Tracking :

Generating reports about your activities is one of the most important features of any affiliate network. Here again, NeverblueAds has raised the bar and provides state of the art reporting and tracking for publishers. With the click of a mouse, publishers can obtain a report summarizing statistics by campaign, statistics by creative, statistics by date range, statistics by site and advanced reporting that allows you to create a report based on any criteria your heart desires. Reports are available in HTML, CSV, TSV and XLS formats. You can also save any report inside your publishers control panel for future retrieval.

If that’s not enough, NeverblueAds also has a Web Services/API which gives publishers the ability to run and display statistics reports in your current infastructure or tracking system using PHP, Java or .NET technologies.

PepperJam Network has some of the best CPA programs available for publishers to maximize their earning potential. A common misconception amongst beginning affiliate marketers is that CPA networks don’t pay as well as a click based network such as Google’s Adsense. This is simply not true. After several years of experimenting with various affiliate programs, it is apparent that a good CPA program with high sales or lead commissions can out-perform any click network if you know what you’re doing.

Here’s three of my personal best picks of hot CPA programs from the PepperJam Network.

#1—————————–

Notes:

Right now with the aggressive television advertising the company is doing, it's likely when people are searching for information regarding LifeLock they're searching because they have seen the commercial and are doing due diligence on the internet. All of that factored in makes this one of the top CPA program going at the moment.

As promised, eBay has launched their new. “in house” affilite program, the eBay Partner Network. Earlier this year, eBay announced they would be removing their affiliate program from Commission Junction and launching their own program. While there are mixed emotions in the affiliate and developer communities over this move, it’s probably better in the long run that ePN has been launched.

I signed up for the ePN and within a few hours my application was approved. Within 10 minutes I had my first links built and I was ready to start changing my Commission Junction style links over to the new ePN format. One of the things that impressed me most was that ePN has added the ability to embed a Channel ID and a Custom ID in the URL for tracking purposes. Thumbs up to ePN for thinking like an affiliate marketer on that one.

If you’re an existing member of the eBay program with Commission Junction or if you’re new to eBays affiliate program, you can get more information at eBay Partner Network

Happy Publishing,

 If you read my post from a week ago First PepperJam Commission, you’d know that I was extremely impressed with nailing down my first commissions using Pepperjam Network. It only took about one week and 6700 impressions for my first conversion using PepperJam and the overall results, including number of clicks and eCPM have me singing praises about PepperJam’s innovative CPA program.

 Now it’s a week later and has been two weeks since I’ve signed up with PepperJam and I wanted to do a little follow-up about how my second week using PepperJam has concluded.

  As of today, I’ve had a total of three conversions for $41.50 in commissions. Incredible, for two weeks in this program to have already brought down close to $50 in commissions from a mere 108 clicks makes PepperJam one of the most lucrative CPA programs I’ve ever experienced. As of today, PepperJam is averaging around $.38 per click (at least three times my Adsense eCPM). It also seems that the PepperjamADS widget invites more clicks than any other ads I’ve used in the past. The beautiful part is that you don’t have to be paranoid about inticing clicks to your ads like you have to be when using Google Adsense.

  It seems to me that Google Adsense’s policy of restricting who, what, when and where we get our clicks from and their policy of banning publishers without notice makes having Google Adsense on your site a liability more than a monetization vehicle. Considering the fact that PepperJam network advertisers are not paying per click but per conversion, the stress, hassle and potential loss of earnings with Adsense make using it old hat.

 Many of my loyal readers here and my friends at DigitalPoint or Code4Gold fourms are aware of the circumstances surrounding my being unfairly banned by Adsense last November, right before Christmas and my two biggest Adsense months ever. Although I was re-instated by Adsense a few weeks later, it was nonetheless upsetting that they confiscated *ALL* of my October and November earnings (appx $1700) and have refused to make ammends for literally taking my children’s Christmas presents from under the tree.

 While I still use Adsense (reluctantly) to fill 10-15% of my ad space, I still cringe every time I load a page with Adsense or login to my account that they will pull the same business on me again eventually.

 With PepperJam, each time I login to my account, there are no suprises, unless you consider seeing fantastic commissions a suprise !!! I’d say that PepperJam is a knockout on Google Adsense, not only for publishers but for advertisers as well. Kudos to PepperJam Network on the victory !!!
