Killing it with International Offers
By Bryan at 11 June, 2010, 11:14 am
Let’s start off with this fact. International traffic is cheap. We all know that. The problem is, though, the lack of decent international offers and also traffic. Sure, AdWords is a good PPC advertising platform to start off with and you can get plenty of traffic to satisfy you to make some decent bank. But, if you really want to rape this niche, you need to look further. Let me help you do that.
First off. I am NOT going to give away my traffic sources other then AdWords. There is a ton of traffic out there for international offers, you just need to know where to find it and then use your brain a bit to go from there. I did this and I am going to help you get started. Just remember, think out of the box and you will be fine.
Alright, let’s start off the research. This isn’t brain surgery. Just go to the top sites in terms of traffic and start your investigating. How about we check out France? (This will help out with an offer later)
Go to go ole Alexa (This link takes you straight to the country top sites) and start bring up the top sites in France. Now, you take a look at the top and it’s no surprise that you see Google.fr, Facebook and Google up there. You can advertise on these of course and I recommend using both as they have lots of traffic. However, Facebook is pretty picky of course on which ads you can run, so to maximize your traffic, you need to keep looking.
Go down to #6 though. It is SkyRock.com, another social site. This site is available in English and French and guess what? They have ads on their site. Do some research get ads running on this site. #8, Orange.fr, is another top site that has an advertising platform and this site is strictly in French. (Hint, Google Translate is your friend!)
I will give you some good performing offers. With all the other traffic sources out there, I am not worried about this getting saturated. So here we go.
Karaktr Media is my first one that I am loving and this acai offer is great because it has a French landing page. (Check out the lander) Run this along with their French colon cleanse offer and you will be happy, I promise!
Finally, another international offer that can marketed to many different countries and languages is through Motive Interactive. This offer is Acai Maxx International (Lander here) and it is pretty much good to go in all the European countries. The nice thing about this one though is that it has an option to translate the site into 5 different languages, making targeting even more broad. Not sure if this is a private offer or not but if you can’t find it, just talk to your AM to see if you can get on offer #50770.
That is about it for now I guess. If you have any questions, let me know. Like I said, I am not giving out traffic sources or ad copy, so please don’t ask, but I will always answer questions otherwise. Good luck with your campaigns and research and go some make some money!
Hey Brian…thanks for all your great posts. I am just starting out with CPA and it's good of you to put up this valuable information. I am looking forward to more pointers and advise to help quicken the learning curve.
I am wondering what you think of "advertorials/farticles"? I really like them and think they can be done without lying or breaking FTC regulations? What are your thoughts about their conversions and when to use/not to use them?
Thanks in advance,
JB
For some reason, I didn't get updates for some comments. I have been swamped lately but here are some answers I hope that are helpful.
If you read my one post, http://www.ahaze.com/22/how-to-sell-within-the-ft… , I think I give some decent ideas there on how to do it right and also my thoughts on it. Yes, it can be done. Infomericals have done it for decades, so it can be done. You just can't go out making stupid statements, promises, or fake endorsements from Oprah, Obama or any other high-powered celeb. In fact, don't use endorsements at all unless they are real and you have permission to market with them. Let me know if you need any other help. I need to get more posts on here, and they will be coming soon!
