Whether you’re a PPC affiliate or PPV affiliate, you’ll hit the wall and find some of the keyword and URL research tedious. Unfortunately this is the start point of any campaign and can be a major time suck.
I probably use the Google External Keyword Tool more than any other out there, though for pay-per-view traffic especially, it helps to use a scraping tool. A scraper goes through website or search engine content and harvests URLs and keywords for your PPV campaign.
It’s going to be a major disappointment if you think that just scraping this information and loading it into a campaign is going to get you a winner right off the bat. But if you’ve got the patience to let the keyword/URL targets gather some data, you’ll have the opportunity to cut the losers and keep the winners and possibly have a profitable campaign on your hands.
Firstly, you’ll need to get through the scraping element, which is where I like to a suite of research tools developed by Besmir Bregasi (whom I’ve also recently developed the SmartLinkManager.com link management/web analytics tool).
He’s just officially launched AffExpert (meaning it’s gone from a free beta, to a paid subscription model).
There’s a bunch of tools for both PPC and PPV marketers. The most useful of which are the scrapers.
You can head over to his page to find out more information about them. I wanted to do a brief walkthrough of one of the tools – a YouTube scraper. You’ve probably seen some news reports that YouTube has a torrent of traffic and has more searches than Google, etc. I wouldn’t get caught up in the details, but do realize that YouTube has replaced Google/YSM/Bing as a search engine replacement, especially for the tween/teen demographic.
The YouTube scraper goes through and compiles a list of YouTube vids based on your keyword criteria. For example, “Free iPad” threw up this list of videos:

If you were to manually scrape these, you’ll spend quite a bit of time.
The videos are quite varied, from 5,000 views to 1.8m views for a couple of them.
Don’t waste your time watching them now. Just load them into the URL targets campaign for your preferred network (pop-ups for trafficvance and media traffic might be a good place to start), then use an offer rotater (free for AffExpert members) and check out which URL targets stand out.
Incidentally, I’ve been using the rotater (self-hosted on yr own hosting account) since Besmir started coding it. Works like a charm and you can setup the rotation ratios (eg: 50% to offer 1 and 25% each to offer 2,3, etc). It works fine as a standalone script, or you can integrate with Prosper202.
Back to the idea. So if you loaded 4-6 free iPad submit offers and popped them over “free ipad” videos on YouTube, you might have a winner on your hands.
If it doesn’t work, then select a different offer (eg: giftcard submits) and test it out.
I’ve got word from affiliate managers that some CPA submit offers scrub more brutally than others. Some advertisers are known to even shave. It helps if an offer is newer and the advertiser has a fairly decent rep (again, check with your AM).

But there’s more! So AffExpert has a bunch of other tools and I might go through them in this new project I’ll be announcing shortly.
The good thing is that in addition to the monthly subscription, he’s just released a lifetime subscription, which could pay for itself in a month or two if you actually use the tool.
I’ve also got some AffExpert offer codes you can use:
The monthly plan starts with a 7-day trial for just $1 and goes to a $39/month subscription.
You can use the AffExpert discount code: “BETAUSER” or “SPROMO” (depending on which is valid) to get it down to $29/month.
–
If you prefer to get the lifetime subscription (expect to get upgrades to the tools as Besmir improves them).
It’s $347 for a lifetime subscription (or if you use the code “50off” you only pay $297 for lifetime access).
–
Both plans and discount codes are valid via this link: AffExpert discount code promo
Thanks For this list !:) I am watching the first one it see to be ok !!
Great tools, google keyword is invaluable but limited, wish I could’ve gotten in on AffExpert during beta.
Hello to every body, it’s my first pay a visit of this weblog; this web site contains amazing and in fact good information designed for readers.
Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems

This kind of game gives a real experience of building a farm and planting trees.
