Consistency Brings Profitability

Blam is working hard each and every day to get more top converting offers, be it for the US or elsewhere. Having some top Int’l offers in Canada, UK, and Aus is one thing, but we are always working on getting better offers for other countries also! Let us know what offers and what countries you’d like to see the offers for, and we will work on getting those offers at higher payouts than you’ve ever seen before. But sometimes it is not just Int’l offers that affiliates want, it is First Page Submits that convert extremely well, and my friend look no further.

Blam Ads has many top converting offers, Find Free Government Grants (2247) is a great first page submit! This offer is absolutely making a killing at Blam! This offer is a first page submit and it is dominating with our content locker and direct linking. If you are not currently running this offer, I ask you one question, WHY NOT? I want to let you know that this offer has EPC’s consistently day in and day out! If you’ve been following us on Twitter, you already know how great this offer is doing and making tons of money for our affiliates. If you aren’t following us on Twitter, how come?

Balling On New Traffic Sources Part 2

It’s been blistering hot here in Chicago with temperatures hitting record highs today. However, you won’t catch us outside baking in the heat, we are instead in-doors hustling and grinding hard with our ICE on staying cool. In the last newsletter I discussed in detail how to increase your earnings potential with our game download offers like Livingplay.com and so many of you responded in strong fashion pushing huge volume to those offers capitalizing on that $2.15 exclusive payouts we are giving. So, as promised here is part two of that baller gaming guide using direct site media buys. This will help you find those gold nugget traffic sources that are out their in cyberspace just waiting for you to discover them.

Direct Site Media Buys Mini-Guide
Now that you have the basic foundation on how to promote gaming offers the BLAM way, you can take that a step further with direct site media buying. Here is the easiest way to approach this task. Start with picking out your target websites. Remember, Google search is good for this. Just simply come up with a few keyword terms and save 15-20 sites that rank well but don’t have a good ad layout for a profitable ads website. I like to use Quantcast’s Media Planning Tool also for this. Plug in some of the top gaming sites that you documented, as discussed in the previous post, record the demographic and search it. What you are looking for are sites that are trying to earn money with Adsense and contain a lot of Google AdSense ads or other indicators that they are not monetizing their sites properly. You should be looking for sites like celebrity gossip blogs, image hosting sites and a few arcade sites that feature female friendly games. These ad websites are the most receptive for an adsense alternative that will make they money. After you complete this, you’re all set and ready to reach out to webmasters. Contact your AM for further details on how to make contact with webmasters. We will help walk you through this process. However, if your’re feeling brave just follow these steps taken out of our mini-guide.

“Making Contact and Negotiation. Almost always, this is the trickiest part of doing a direct site buy. Average webmasters make it somewhat tricky to contact them, so try these 3 techniques. First, look for any sort of “contact us” form or email. If you can’t find that or they don’t reply, head over to do a whois lookup. The type of people who own sites that work well for direct buys have never even heard of affiliate marketing. They don’t have whois guard or any sort of protection on you looking up who they are and their phone number. Call them, email them, Facebook them – whatever it takes to get into contact with them. The reason I recommended you have 15-20 sites to contact is that often times you will get no response.

Once you get in contact with someone, its time to start your negotiations. The first thing you want to get out of them is the average unique views and total number of page views as well as what they are expecting for advertising. Some webmasters just have crazy ideas like their traffic is worth $5 cpm. You have to feel it out how well the person is going to negotiate. If they seem tricky, move on. Plenty more fish in the sea! Once you have this data, depending on the size of the traffic, you either want to negotiate for a one day test or just negotiate for the monthly deal. I generally break it if the site has under 500,000 imps for the month, just buy the whole month. Its not worth your time to negotiate for a one day test for that. If you are going for the 1 day test, take a monthly estimate for what you would spend and divide by 30 then offer slightly more then that. Don’t be afraid to be generous here – a little extra grease on the bearings for later larger negotiations always helps. When looking to do a direct site buy I hate hate hate paying cpm. Just buy a flat rate ad for a certain time span. This gets rid of a ton of complications you can face from CPM buying without an official server. For us, we got in contact with a certain celebrity blog. Their traffic was around 750,000 impressions a month of non repeat visitors to their image galleries. They were expecting .25 cpm, so we offered them $200 even for the month for an above the fold 120 X 600 banner. Everyone is happy, especially the blogger making $50 bucks a month using other online advertising services.”

Raising the Game with Downloads

BLAM! Ads  is turning up the heat, just in time for summer; and after getting you the LivingPlay offers at an all time high payout we are on a tear.  Recently we sent out an e-mail telling you about these game offers, and they instantly started getting more and more traffic!  These offers have the highest payout of any game offers in any network! They dominate with High EPC’s and are constantly our top offers at BLAM! Ads.  $2.15 for a game download, how did we do this? The real question is, why not more?! Why aren’t we getting more traffic to these amazing offers?  Get on these gaming offers to really see a boost in revenue!

We are so willing to help you succeed that our team is on day and night to make it happen.  Affiliates constantly ask me, “Do you ever sleep?” to which I reply, “Why sleep when you can be earning more money?!” And with BLAM! Ads the money is huge.

Mini-Guide
Download offers have been around for as long as there has been marketing online.  They have been very stable and profitable performers for our affiliates at BLAM.  We have very slim margins on these offers.  The key to promoting these offers by way of traffic is quantity over quality.  These offers are easy to monitize using cheap traffic. Your aim should be to find traffic with younger demographics and target popular trends such as celebrities, music, and films and create your ads around them. We have very well known games such as Donkey Kong, Family Feud, Pacman, The Price is Right, and Street Figher II. You will need test for the highest CTR you can achieve so you can start making money.

You can also target sites and blogs, who’s owners are currently monetizing by way of Adsense or Chitika, directly with our direct site media buying guide. Use Quantcast or Google Adplanner to find blogs/sites with teen demographics and contact the website owners directly using the whois lookup. Create ugly ads/banners to counter-act to visitors banner blindness. You should split test using your own landing pages or direct linking to the offer page itself.  If you need further help, you can contact you AM and they will be happy to assist you further and send you the direct site media buying guide.

Balling On New Traffic Sources

Memorial day is behind us, and I want to personally thank all our men and women of the armed forces for your sacrifices. To our fallen soldiers you are not forgotten. Today’s newsletter I want to focus on traffic sources that we know works. So many people have made the transition to Contextual (PPV), and have seen solid returns. However, the competition on PPV has been fierce. I’m sure many of you experienced affiliates have noticed the trend of rising cost for competing urls. It’s gotten so ridiculous on some of the major PPV networks that once profitable campaigns have now become unprofitable. Well don’t fret my friends. That’s what we are here for. If you have once dominated on Traffic Vance and Lead Impact and want to diversify these are some networks you definitely should be looking at. Contact your Account Manager for the top three traffic networks we use internally as an alternative when promoting PPV. Enjoy today’s mini-guide.

Promoting Games The BLAM Way!

Game offers have a wide audience, great conversion rates and can be scaled into international markets so you can duplicate your campaigns abroad.  One good solid way to push game offers is via PPV (contextual) by direct linking. Focus on any online flash-game site, there is literally a endless supply of these type of sites out there. If you don’t have the budget to push this on Traffic Vance to the top arcade urls, try targeting games sites that are similar to the game you are direct linking. For example, if you are targeting a flash puzzle game, direct link them to an associate Gamevance or PlayShusi puzzle download, trust me you will see crazy conversions. One of the best ways to build your target URL-list is to Google search flash games and collect all those urls. You can take that a step further and use Quantcast to get your demo information. I’ll teach you how to use that info later, pushing other offers that convert well to gaming demographics.

Now, if you really want to blow up the gaming offers, lets say 2-5k a day, hit up your AM to get the “Direct Site Media Buying Guide”, to take what I’m teaching you a step further. You can take the same arcade sites that you used as targets for PPV to get cheap direct buys – In some cases the webmasters that run those type of sites are trying to earn money with adsense and barely get anything for their traffic. Instead you are offering them a good adsense alternative to their low paying ads. You just simply write up a short form email and begin contacting as many webmasters as possible. You will definitely get some responses. We go into detail in our “Direct Site Media Buying Guide”. So get that from your AM.

If contacting Webmasters isn’t your cup of tea, try using our MicroWorkers guide. However, in my opinion, reaching out to webmasters is just too lucrative to avoid. There are plenty of self-serve ad networks that you can use also, like MegaClick to promote game and download offers with great results. They serve ads on both MegaVideo and MegaUpload – two sites with a huge inventory of traffic. You can literally use any of BLAM Download offers on MegaUpload (considering they’re already downloading something). Almost any game works well here, just simply make the most eye catching crazy creative possible to get high CTR’s.

Another awesome traffic source for download/gaming offers is  Mochi Media Self Serve – they are a display ad network that shows your ads directly inside of their game network. You can select niche-specific game inventory on this site so you can seriously deep target your offers to other similar offers. The ads are displayed in a way that encourages the user to engage the ad so you can expect a crazy CTR’s upwards 2%+ with accurate targeting. So, do your due diligence and use this as a guide to reap huge rewards on Gaming.
