Anyone still use Clickbank? Anyone know a good way to promote products? Anyone making good money selling stuff online? Have any tips? I need help....

oh hell, my thread is going down the drain.

Do you have a Google Adwords campaign? Or a campaign in Yahoo Sponsored Search? Or if you don't want to drop an arm and a leg advertising through pay per click, you could just optimize your site to show up high in the organic listings.

Internet Business Promoter is a great program if you wanna get in there and really optimize each of your pages for a targeted keyword or keyword phrase. If you need help finding good targeted keywords related to your product, you might want to consider signing up for Wordtracker. This is really useful to find out what words or phrases will drive the most traffic and are the most popular.

The other thing is, implementing some kind of conversion tracking. Most PPC services are starting to offer this for free, like Google, but those I've tried so far only provided limited statistics, and were generally buggy - not showing conversions. We use a company called ClickLab. They're pricey but they give you insansely detailed (and generally accurate) reports, as well as help monitor for click fraud.

If you do decide to get into Pay Per Click, and you are working with a modest budget, don't jump in by bidding on high traffic keywords. Start out with really specific, low traffic keyword phrases, and only bid like 5-10 cents per click. A big list of low traffic targeted keywords will generally get you more conversions (sales) per dollar than bidding on a few high traffic, more general, keywords, that will just blow through your budget with little to show for.

Thanks Tom, i don't want to spend amything right now, but i'll look into it....thanks!
