I met Chad Frederiksen (better known in affiliate marketing circles by his moniker “CDF Networks”) at the Blue Man Group show at the Affiliate Summit in Las Vegas earlier this year, and he came across as a very down-to-earth guy.
Which is a little surprising, given how successful he is as a PPC affiliate.
If you haven’t checked out his site yet, you might like to read his posts:
Doubtless his creativity and work ethic have played a part in feats like hitting the top 10 affiliates from CPA network Azoogle (now a division of Epic Advertising) 6 months after he started up his PPC -> affiliate campaigns.
His blog at CDFNetworks.com contains a treasure trove of PPC strategies, tips and case studies.
Since he already blogs in great detail about his tactics, I wanted to get a better idea of how his business system operates.
During our discussion, we covered:
How you can get started as a PPC affiliate
How Chad approaches his marketing campaigns, including a number of key techniques
Chad’s recommendation on learning resources, especially if you’re a new affiliate
Evaluation criteria on deciding which affiliate offer to promote
How you can increase earnings from your PPC efforts
How and why building destination sites will help grow your business

Although he’s been a full time marketer for about a year, he’s riled up and rallied a number of experienced PPC marketers on his cakes chat IRC channel.
Inviting him to the Friday Podcast, we talked about:
How he made the moved from near full time video game player to PPC affiliate marketer.
Tips on building up your PPC knowledge and skills
How to get ideas for creating effective landing pages
Three perpetually “hot” niches
What you need to do to succeed in affiliate marketing
I first met PPC affiliate John Hasson at ShareASale’s “Party Under The Stars” party at Affiliate Summit West earlier this year. We were eating a heartattack-inducing tiramisu/ice-cream concoction and talking about our businesses.
John spoke at the “Meet The Experts” session chairing a table on PPC affiliate marketing. At the recent Affiliate Summit East in Boston, John presented a session on PPC marketing.
During the course of our discussion, I was pretty amazed at how John’s brought his programming skills to automate and employ leverage in PPC campaigns.
We also talked about:
How John got started as a programmer early on and his first experience at generating $600 a day through PPC arbitrage
How he made his transition into affiliate marketing
Note: John was travelling as part of a project he’s working on and the line dropped a number of times and the connection wasn’t the best. Listen in for some great tips though.
