Hello dear readers! did you miss me!!? I missed you missing me so i thought i might try to update more regularly. :teef:

Anyway as i was saying last time, i thought i would try my hand at some CPA networks and in order to join some of the programs you need to look like you are setup to sell some stuff by having some sites established to use as, bait in a way. Well on the weekend i bought a couple of  domain names for some new blogs and started to set it up. I’m not going to reveal it here just yet but i will tell you its in the sustainable living niche. (think Earth4Energy). Blogs are a very easy way to setup a professional looking site with minimal work.

Lazy?? PLR to the rescue!

Now i don’t really know a whole lot about this niche at all so where do I get all my content from? I could outsource some fresh articles, but i really cant be bothered with that just yet so i went looking for some PLR articles.  I found a couple of really great ones that are relatively new and don’t seem to be rinsed out by people just copy and pasting them all onto their sites just yet. One even included a 5 part ecourse for my auto responder. Rad.

Some people might think that PLR stuff costs a bomb but i got 130 articles, that 5 part ecourse all for the grand total of $8.97 USD + $5.00 USD = $13.97 USD.  Awesome. Oh actually i almost forgot there was a turnkey minisite i found for sale which has a 21 page ebook and a sales page with graphics for another $15. I got it just for lols and it had some bonuses like audio and transcripts. Totally sweet.

So for a grand total of $28.97USD i have pretty much a whole site ready with a product i can sell and a blog with 100 or so posts and some articles to spare to whack on ezinearticles. Kick ass.

What the hell just happened?

How far did i digress right there!? pretty damn far that’s how far. I completely forgot what i was doing in the first place.  Nevertheless, i now have my blog setup with a whole bunch of articles i got my girlfriend to rewrite on auto post*, auto responder ready to go and mini site being redesigned with some new graphics and text being re-done. And i only actually really started working on this today! Plus i started a 10 day detox today and i was doing work for my day job! How productive am i!? Bloody. And i hardly made any spelling mistakes!

So that just goes to show how even a lazy arse like me can pull out a whole couple of sites in 7 hours of off and on work and a little bit of super lazy PLR purchasing.

Word. Till the next one when i hopefully have got some deals ready to go and stuff.

* If you aren’t setting your blogs up on auto post then you are wasting too much time. If you have all your posts ready to go you dont want to have to come back every day and post a new one. Just set the all up and schedule them to post themselves! Too easy!

So, WTF is CPA?? CPA as you may or may not know stands for Cost Per Action. This means that if you get someone to do something, like submit an email address or give up their post code (zip code) you get somewhere in the region of $1USD. Totally sweet. What happens to that lead once they give up that info is entirely inconsequential to you as you have already been paid. However if you send some shit traffic to that offer and the advertiser cant make any of that $1USD back from any of them, they will start to investigate why.

I have tried this before and didn’t really have much success, probably cos i just jumped right into it and registered for a couple of networks and was caught out not being prepared. The only network that accepted me was probably the easiest one to register with and the biggest, Commission Junction. I did register for Advaliant also but never woke up when they called me at 4am to do a phone interview. This I was absolutely not expecting so i failed. I have heard many good things about them, and their affiliate managers do seem quite friendly (from voice messages and AIM chats!) so i will be trying again with them during my experiments.

So what now? Well, in order to get accepted to the various CPA networks out there, i am going to make a website. This website will be used solely for the purpose of applying for networks. Most of them will not really take you seriously if you look like a bit of a noob. Imagine if you were kind of a dork at school, and you wanted into the cool club. You can’t just rock up and ask if you can be part of it, as the cool kids will simply laugh in your face and say “piss off you weird red headed weirdo” and that girl you fancy from up the street will laugh at you too and you will be forced into becoming somewhat of a recluse for the rest of the term. Ahem. Sorry about that.

So to avoid any embarrassment you need to look like you know what you are doing. You don’t actually have to know what you are doing tho as you can simply bluff your way in. This is where the dummy site comes into play. I wont go into this any more in this post as i don’t actually have one setup yet huhuh :$. So I will go off and build one and come back and show you what I have created.

The next update will probably be in a weeks time hah!

I came across ClickTale quite a while ago but until recently had not taken full advantage of it. I had it setup on one of my websites and it is very very cool, i even get a mention on their media buzz page! It actually records a video of your visitors so you can see exactly how they interact with your websites.

Check out some of the other stuff they report on:

Heatmaps
Form Analytics (beta)

Dimensions
Screen Resolutions
Window Sizes
Window Resizing
Window Sizes PDF

Demographics
Countries
Languages
Browsers
Platforms

Intervals
Page Open Period and ActiveTime
Load Times

Mouse Moves vs. Mouse Clicks
JavaScript Errors

Seriously this is gold if you are setting up landing pages and want to know exactly how they are seen and what effect they have on your visitors. All it takes is two tiny bits of code and you’re set. Just come back the next day, login and start watching videos. You can see if your copy is being read, what links/ads they click on etc.

It is free for 100 recordings a week on 1 domain, so if you get quite a bit of traffic you should consider purchasing a subscription. The basic plan is $9 USD a month and gives you 40 recordings a day and 2 domains which is more than enough to figure out what is going on.

I cant recommend this more. If you’re not using this you are wasting a lot of your time it can give you some really eye opening results.
