A World Of Profitable Traffic Outside Of Google

Google Adwords represents just a small fraction of all the advertising traffic that is available on the Internet. If affiliates took the time to understand other pay per click search engines, pay per view traffic, media buys and the many other methods of traffic generation, they could build an affiliate empire without Google Adwords.

I have created a short video that will show you how you can start making money in just a few hours using a second tier PPC search engine that doesn’t have a rigid quality score criteria and allows direct linking.

This is the lazy affiliate’s dream traffic source to work with.

Watch the video below:

The key to start making money is to take action. I am grateful that they are a search engine that actually treats their advertisers with respect and makes the advertising experience much more pleasant.

Hi Gauher,

I have been testing it lately, it is giving really good ROI as compared to google and best part is they provide really good support with real personal help.

Thought of sharing this with your audience.

Thanks

I’m happy to test out any option that would allow me to eventually be rid of Google Adwords. They treat their advertisers like dirt and they get away with it because they are number #1 by far! I’m hopeful that one day Google will fall from the top and they will deserve it! Thanks Gauher!

Hey Gauher,

Good Stuff – 7search is a good search engine , but again they are not world class like google – so you may have a great campaign on google and it may convert like crazy & you use the same ad on 7Search and 500 clicks later nothing… With that said, it comes down to finding the right offer and matching it with the right network.

But,make no mistake with the networks like 7Search listed below you don’t have to worry about direct linking and google content, CTR & LPQ policy and rules.

Other search engines to consider along with 7 search.

adbrite
looksmart
miva
kanoodle
and my favorite from the major networks MSN & yahoo

I tried 7search about 5 years ago and didn’t have much luck with conversions either.

However, I know a lot more about PPC now so perhaps my luck would be better.

I would like to say something here.
I have seen a lot of them braging about the success they had. but all this doesn’t help if you dont use domain masking to protect your earning.
one advice gadget and widgets are hot. I get 7 million page vieuw only with gadget. with site it’s more difficult to get that targeted taraffic.

Hi Gauher,

This is extremely valuable information, as you consistently provide.

I do not have a “real” website yet so I don’t see how I can apply to any CPA networks.

I do have a Clickbank acct. and have promoted several offers using Web2.0 articles, etc.

I would love to jump in and try some campaigns with Clickbank offers but I’m know very little about PPC and am afraid I’d be just throwing my money away.

Is it possible to make any money with Clickbank offers on the 2nd tier search engines and do you offer any courses in PPC which could get me going?

Also, do you have any suggestions as to how I can start to build credibility to be accepted in some CPA networks?

Thank You Gauher for all you do and the valuable content that you share!

This is probably a dumb question but where exactly is the 7Search search engine? When I visit 7search.com I’m on a page discussing advertising opportunities. Where do customers who are searching actually find this search engine?

Awesome video Gauher!

I had tried 7search once too a few years back, but was still a newbie then and knew nothing about tracking so I didn’t make anythiong profitable then.

I am definitely going to give them another look though.

Thanks,

John

P.S. You said at the end of the video that you have been having success with clicksor aswell. I’m sure I’m not just speaking for myself when i say it would be awesome if you did something like this on them aswell. You could add it to the PPCF modules maybe.

Hi Beth to answer your question 7Search doesn’t have a search engine so much as “partners.” For example here’s a partial list of some of those partners…

# Kijiji.com & Kijiji.ca (eBay Search)
# TheFreeDictionary.com
# FindItQuick.com
# Pageseeker.com
# Local.com
# Clicksor.com
# Oversee.net
# Inexplorer.com
# AdMarketPlace.com
# Sagoon.com
# Usefulresults.com
# Turbo10.com
# Kontera.com
# ValidShield.com
# MediaTraffic.com

Now you may notice a few ppv companies on there. I was surprised too. But I live in the same city and they ARE easy people to work with and this is only a few of the sources on a long list they gave me, so I keep trying to make their traffic work for that reason alone.

Around Nov of 2008 I decided to try get conversions with
-ABC.com (now called Adverstise.com not AdvertisING.com)
-Findology
-7Search.com

My results after 6 months and several hundred dollars (EACH!) were pretty awful. I DID figure out a way to make money using their traffic, but the amount of work it took to filter their crappy sources wasn’t worth it. How I miss by beloved (now gone) GoClick.com. Ironically, that’s the strategy to make ppv work, so I’m back to filtering anyway. But 7 can be made to work at least.

So around March-April of 2009 I went back to Yahoo and MSN. Lot of “clunky” problems, but at least the traffic is real. But I managed to get Yahoo to change a LOT of their polices a few weeks ago. I wrote a long, boring, blog post about that. Kinda like how long and boring this comment is….

Gauher:

Thanks. Thanks a lot. Everytime I turn around, you expose another tidbit of my info, another secret source I use, another trick I’ve learned over the years. Why don’t you give me a nice paper cut and pour lemon juice in it while your at it?

Rob, the ###keyword### thing is just to be able to put keywords into your title and ad copy, it’s not for tracking at all. Once you log in to your account, go to: https://7search.com/scripts/advertiser/v3/conversiontrackingsetup.aspx
and it will explain conversion tracking.

Looking at their rules, you have to own the domain you’re advertising:

http://faq.7search.com/index.php?sid=1013916&lang=en&action=artikel&cat=3&id=69&artlang=en

But looking at your example from Neverblue, I take they don’t actually enforce that rule?

0
Gauher

They don’t seem to enfore this rule. A simple workaround is to simply iframe the CPA offer on your own web site if this ever does become an issue.

Hi Gauher,

Glad to see that 7Search has upgraded their system. I used them several times in the last few years with little to no success. Google has always worked well for me. Although I have not been banned by them, I think 7Search is worth taking a third look at. Thank you.

Thanks for the leg up on this Gauher. I have a couple of questions:

1) Shouldn’t you abide by the CPA Merchants restrictions if any? Such as possibly ‘No direct linking’; ‘keyword restrictions’

Is it possible you might not get paid by the merchant if you violate TOS?

2) In your video, you say to filter out the bad traffic. Then you said something that didn’t come through clear on my headset…”The key is to learn how to pass keyword???ins, traffic???ins, and partner???ins in order to eliminate the fraudulent or poor quality traffic and keep legitimate traffic”… I couldn’t understand those three words, or…how to filter out the bad traffic. Would you please explain? Thanks Gauher…

Great video…

However I set up 2 campaigns already and I’m not having much luck. I’m getting impressions, something like 2000+ over two days but not a single CLICK =/

I thought my ads were pretty good (since I took the top appearing ads on Adwords and tweaked them). Any suggestions on actually getting the click? Average rank for my KW’s is 2.5, so I know they’re showing.

Jana said:

“This is great info! However, Clickbank won’t take any characters in the tid except numbers or letters so they won’t take the “###”. Any way around that?”

if you put the ###KEYWORD### on the end of your clickbank link in the destination url for your ad it will work just fine. Your right that clickbank doesn’t accept ### but you have to remember that 7search is going to dynamically append the keyword that triggered the click/conversion in place of ###KEYWORD### so your actual links won’t have the ###KEYWORD### in them when someone clicks on your ad.

For example you put your link in the destination url:

http://xxxxxx.hop.clickbank.net?tid=###KEYWORD###

you bid on the keyword red shoes and someone searches for red shoes on 7search, sees your ad and clicks. When they click 7search will replace ###KEYWORD### with ‘red shoes’

http://xxxxxx.hop.clickbank.net?tid=red shoes

know when you look at your reports in clickbank you will see red shoes and not ###KEYWORD###

Hope this helps,

John

Hi Gauher,
Thanks for the video! I learn some new stuffs here. Seriously, I can’t believe we give this information out for free, thanks again, you’re the man! You just give me some directions on what should I do to improve my online income. I have never tried 7Search.com before but I will definitely give it a tried. I won’t say any bad thing about Google here ‘coz that’s the way they do business. Honestly, what they are trying to do is just to provide a good user experience to the people. I think that’s good intention. I am OK with that, it’s ok, I will just switch to other PPC companies, there are tones of them. This is a free world and free market. I don’t like this I just go and pick the others. I am not worry and hope you guys are not to worry too. 🙂

Hey Gauher,

Thanks for the egging me on to take a look at this video, I am happy that I did. I had almost given up on ppc eventhough I know that would be a mistake.

Google banned my account a few weeks ago and I am mad as hell…. The way I look at this whole picture is from a great old proverb ( He who sits at the top shall one day feel the point) and I hope that day comes soon.

I am going to give the 7seventh a try and hope for the better. Thanks a bunch…..

Great material as always. Thanks for sharing.

As others have asked above, I’m also wondering if there’s a way to pass the 7Search keyword variable when direct linking to Clickbank products. I’ve got an idea I’m going to try but I don’t think it’s going to work. I’ll check back if it does.

Thanks,

On Monday the sign up system worked fine. I started my first campaign on Tuesday with seven keywords for one CB product. By the end of the day I had seven hundred plus impressions with seven clicks. This is my first experience with ppc, and if nothing else it’s a great way to learn without spending alot of money. You always learn so much more when you actually do the thing with real$ on the line. Thanks, Gauher. By the way, I’m a total newbie.

Hello Gauher.

I have read that most people run out of advertising money before their website makes any!

I went to 7search and did what you said.(taking action)

I didn’t know what I was doing so I started out with a small bid (Learning by doing)

Then I went and watched your video again 2x.
Up ed my bid and key words.(following thru)
so far I have 530 788 impressions
441 clicks to my website.
$95.00 cost of advertising.

Well after a month of testing 7Search I must be missing something or Gauher has not told us something.

I have tried around 10 different niches and so far all I have had is 1000’s of impressions but a click thru of around 0.5%.

I have even tried bidding the maximum amount and writing an ad per keyword to make sure it’s really targeted but I just cannot get any sort of volume out of them.

Demian from Best Health Remedies

Hi Gaugher, thanks for this very informative video. What I did not understand quite right is: How does putting in the keyword token help to get rid of garbage or fraudulent traffic? Is it not necessary to block certain web pages from delivering the traffic for that? Would be very grateful If you could clear that up also.

Thanks,
Demian

DENNIS

Hi Gaugher,
Great share…yes 7 search seems like a good alternative to test out. My biggest issue is finding a cpa network that pays me for my actions. Do you avoid networks that use direct track? Are you comfortable recommending any networks. I literally belong to about 6. 2 are on direct track and Ive tested them several times….definate excessive shaving and inaccuracy. one of them had an affiliate blowing them up on their blog recently about not sending 90% of their payment, another one never has what I need and payouts are very low and they too dont seem to be on the up and up…. is there a network that is honest. I know howe to do a campaigne and have used good traffic, and as soon as the conversions start to roll in, I get shut down….and they all look the other way; they dont even bother or admit scrubbing, they just say everything is fine, they run 10000leads a day. Sorry for going off subject, it is just very frustrating for this final piece of the puzzle to be so difficult. and mind you I am not talking about ten dollars, I mean $1000 net two weeks ago not going to get paid. and now another camp that had 2000+ weekly net potential just seemed to fall to an absolute zero after 48 hours of kicking but.
