For those of you who don’t know, I did a session this Monday on “Pay Per Click Mastery” for Jeremy’s Black Ink Project.
For those of you who haven’t heard of Black Ink, it’s without a doubt the most comprehensive free affiliate marketing training course ever put together. Kudos to Jeremy Palmer for doing this.
Anyway, Jeremy has just posted my “Pay Per Click Mastery” Session on Black Ink. If you haven’t signed up for Black Ink, go ahead and do that and download my session.
I talk 1 hr straight, no holds bars, about the PPC strategies I use to generate $6k-$9k/day in affiliate commissions. Jeremy also chimes in with his wisdom and expertise as well.
Enjoy!

I listened in to the whole session. Wow this is a must for any affiliate at any level. Amit goes over some great tips and tricks to setting up research for keywords, how to test campaigns and much much more. One of the key points that Amit talks about is how to move your campaign pricing up or down dependent on the stats and ad position, and how and when to go wide and deep. I could go on and on about this session since I got allot out of it but I would recommend checking it out.
Amit, and Jeremy are very good at what they do and you should not miss this special session at the black ink project. Thank you Amit for being so open with this information, I’m even going to listen and take more notes again to see if I missed any of the nuggets.
Amit,
That was an awesome session. I took a ton of notes and I’m now implementing what you taught us.
I also learned that I’m a “trigger happy affiliate.” Or I was.

I had to miss the call the other night, but I’m going to go check it out now.
That Twitter is a cool thing. I just saw Amit’s tweet pop up on my screen about the call and it reminded me to go look for the recording.
Your a nice guy Amit… I remember your story when some co-affiliates took advantage of you as a newbie.
Amit, great presentation however…
One thing I don’t understand. In your example of Joe, you say he spends 0.20 on his high converting kws and get 500 clicks, $60 in sales, but $100 in adspend.
Then you say he lowers his bid to 0.10 and gets 1000 clicks with no sales.
You explain this by saying that when he was bidding 0.20, the high converting kws were on page 1 and when he lowered his bid to 0.10 the high converting kws were on page 2.
First, I assume you mean his ad ended up on page 2 instead of page 1. Second, he’s still getting clicks and shouldn’t a certain percentage of those clicks convert? Regardless of what page they found his ad, they still clicked onto his offer – I’m not understanding why conversions would drop because they found his ad on page 2?
Can you explain this?
Hi Jeff,
Excellent question. When your ad goes to page 2 you get very few if any clicks. The point is that Joes high converting keywords traffic dropped to almost nothing since they ended up on page 2, while his low converting keywords were still on page one, getting traffic (albeit less).
Does that make sense?

I only got to see half the session, the day job had me around the ankles! Looking forward to catching back up on the session. I’m curious to learn more about the testing process you were talking about.
Amit,
I just want to say that what you and Jeremy are doing for this industry really give it a lot of credibility with your blog and the BIP.
Thank you both for showing people the right way to do Affiliate Marketing and steering us down the right path. I hope it all comes back to you guys ten-fold. I just started this a few weeks ago and am looking forward to making a good living and paying it forward.
Yes, the presentation was excellent – lot of very practical tips. Thank you.
Hey thanks for sharing. This is all new stuff to me. Great resource for getting started.
