Hello everyone, today I will share my experience in affiliate advertising. Regardless of how much money I made, I just wrote about my experience so that people who are better than me can avoid some detours.
First of all, let’s explain what an advertising alliance is (actually there are all online). Advertising alliances usually refer to online advertising alliances. In 1996, Amazon used this new method to provide additional sources of income for tens of thousands of websites, and became the main way of survival for the Internet SOHO people. Advertising alliances include three elements: advertisers, website owners and advertising alliance platforms. Advertisers pay reasonable advertising fees to website owners based on the actual results of online advertising (such as sales, number of leads, etc.), saving marketing expenses and improving marketing quality. Website owners use the advertising alliance platform to select suitable advertisers and increase revenue by playing advertiser ads. At the same time, they save a lot of online advertising sales costs and easily turn website visits into revenue.
Let’s briefly introduce the relevant alliance terms: CPA = commission based on successful registration, CPS = commission based on successful sales, CPC = pay-per-click, CPM = pop-up window. Currently, the more popular ones are rich media ads and in-page keyword ads.
At first, I didn’t know this knowledge at all. I was just ignorant. After reading some articles of my seniors, I learned a truth: “Traffic determines income.” So, I took a wrong path and learned to cheat. Nowadays, there are many software and websites that boost traffic for free. At that time, I mainly used "Tianhe Traffic King", 1400 and Q7. I got over 5,000 IPs every day. As a result, the good times did not last long, and some ethical affiliate advertisers blacklisted me. So I started looking for ads that only needed traffic and no restrictions on methods. I hung up my phone every day to browse the traffic while paying attention to where there were such advertisements. The results were very little, and I persisted for two months! Later I found that doing so had the same result, and I couldn't make ends meet. I calculated carefully, and I was shocked. Not only was I exposed to radiation every day, but I also spent a lot of extra money. I calculated it this way, and each computer is about 250-400W. The monthly power consumption of a computer: If it is 300W per hour × 10 hours of operation a day × 30 days a month = 90KW, that is, 90 kilowatt hours of electricity, I turn on the computer for an average of 20 hours a day. This is just a conservative estimate. Taking into account the Internet fee, this is a big deal.
In this case, well, I'm going to do formal advertising on GG or Baidu. But the reality is cruel. I was too keen on junk pop-ups. As a result, the real traffic became less and less. I had no choice but to continue to browse. I applied to Baidu, but failed. I applied to GG, but failed. I applied again, and applied again, but still failed. GG told me that the webpage type did not match. After a closer look, I realized that GG knew that my traffic was cheating. At this point, I could no longer turn back, and visitors to the website were scared away by the spammy pop-ups I placed. If the website traffic is not brushed, it will not even reach 50 every day, and the stay time will not be long. So I pronounced this site dead. In this way, a website was ruined by me, which was very miserable. So please pay attention, little dishes, be sure to pay attention to your own orientation.
Now I have started a new website, Furui5.cn (www.furui5.cn). This time I am starting a new life. I followed my example very well. I didn’t increase traffic or put pop-up windows. I tried to make the page as tidy as possible. I just built the website, so I would like to ask the experienced people to give me some advice. It would be better if we have the opportunity to cooperate. PS. Let me make a small advertisement. I am a designer. If you need help, please feel free to ask.
