Azoogle Update

Well I've finally been accepted into Azoogle after weeks of confirming my identity. I seriously think I had more trouble getting into Azoogle than I did getting a U.S. passport.

So my first few days of experimenting with the program have not been very successful. I ran a few programs in a highly visible section of my site. I thought I would just try some ROS (run of the site) ads. No user targeting for specific products. Well day one was not too shabby in regards to click-throughs. I had about 75 clicks for a particular product that I thought most my users would like. Well I received ZERO conversions from these 75 clicks. That is not good...=)

I know better than to waste my time on ROS advertising, but still I always try it out because I get lazy. To make money with any of these programs you have to target, target and target some more! This above test is a perfect example of what not to do. Don't just throw your ads up on the site and wait for the money to roll in. Do your homework up front. What are your users looking for? Perhaps you have 250 users a day looking for and finding a page on your site about VOIP. Well that page would be a great place to market any VOIP related products. You get the point.

By finding these gem pages throughout your site, you open the door to utilizing multiple affiliate products at the same time, in a highly targeted, and hopefully more lucrative way. Trick is to have some good webstats software. And then study the data until you go blurry in the eyes.

Then of course you test as many niches as you can until you find one that sticks and pays. Once you find those gems, re-direct your attention to growing that program and that content on your site.
