I made a list of CPA Affiliate Networks in an earlier post. This is a list of US and International Affiliate Networks that you get commission for selling products, rather than generating leads. I’m a member of Commission Junction (CJ), Linkshare (LS), Affiliate Future US, ClickBank, PayDotCom.com, ShareASale (SAS) and MarketHealth, with MarketHealth being my best performing now, but PayDotCom.com the best in the past. Hope you’ll find this list useful when searching for products to promote. If you run an affiliate program that is not listed, leave a comment and I will add it. More information needed to choose the best networks can be found in my newest Dot Com Mogul article: Is the Cookie Monster Eating Your Commissions?

One of the top ways of monetizing websites is lead generation. Here’s how it works. Becoming a CPA affiliate is fairly simple. You sign up with numerous CPA Networks, drive traffic to the custom landing pages they provide or make your own landing pages, and get paid whenever a site visitor fills out and submits a form. One of the best ways to drive traffic to your CPA Offers is through PPC program like Adwords or Yahoo.CPA networks are clearinghouses bringing advertisers and publishers together. The advertisers provide custom landing pages and forms, pays the network commission for making it available to affiliates, and affiliates are paid for driving traffic and generating signups.

CPA stands for “cost per action.” The action is the site visitor filling out the form. Compared to traditional affiliate marketing, it is often a much easier and more lucrative way to monetize a website.

Traditional affiliates have a tougher job. They have to get the traffic, presell the product, and send visitors to the vendor through an affiliate link, hoping to generate something like 1% to 5% sales. Conversions are highly dependent on the vendor’s sales letter and product. If the vendor does a poor job of selling, or has an overpriced or poorly received product, the affiliate has spent a lot of time, and perhaps money, for very little return.

A CPA affiliate also has to get the traffic, either by paying for it, or by putting together a well-optimized site that gets good search engine placement for certain key words. The site visitor fills out a form requesting information, rather than making a decision to purchase at that point. All it entails is that the visitor “request free information” and provide his or her name, email address, and maybe a physical address.

The CPA affiliate gets paid for providing a lead, rather than a sale. Many businesses pay well for leads. They plan on maximizing the long-term value of their customers. For instance, one lead can generate a commission of thousands of dollars to a mortgage broker. An insurance or credit card account is worth recurring commissions potentially for many, many years and even a ring tone lead has a long-term value, since the vendor will continue to market to that person over and over again, selling them many times what it cost to acquire them as a customer.

CPA is one of the best ways to monetize your websites. To really do well at CPA, you need to learn how to use traffic generation methods like Google Adwords effectively, and to build search engine optimized landing pages, but in the long run, CPA can be more lucrative than traditional affiliate marketing. The following is a list of CPA Networks that I’m a member of. I listed NeverblueAds because thus far, that is my best performing network. I recently signed up with the brand new Pepperjam Network and it looks very promising.

Latent Semantic Indexing. All of the Search Engines have invested in this technology and if they are not using it now, they will be soon.

The definition for LSI is as follows:

Latent semantic analysis (LSA) is a technique in natural language processing, in particular in vectorial semantics, patented in 1988 [1] by Scott Deerwester, Susan Dumais, George Furnas, Richard Harshman, Thomas Landauer, Karen Lochbaum and Lynn Streeter. In the context of its application to information retrieval, it is sometimes called latent semantic indexing (LSI) – http://www.cs.utk.edu/~lsi/

LSA uses a term-document matrix which describes the occurrences of terms in documents; it is a sparse matrix whose rows correspond to documents and whose columns correspond to terms, typically stemmed words that appear in the documents. A typical example of the weighting of the elements of the matrix is tf-idf (term frequency-inverse document frequency): the element of the matrix is proportional to the number of times the terms appear in each document, where rare terms are up weighted to reflect their relative importance.

This matrix is common to standard semantic models as well (though it is not necessarily explicitly expressed as a matrix, since the mathematical properties of matrix are not always used).

What does all of this mean in English? Well, it’s pretty simple for the human brain to comprehend, but complicated to approximate mathematically. Essentially, what all of this means for the average site builder is that instead of thinking exclusively in terms of niches and whole pages based on single keywords, you should think more about organizing whole thematic relationships in contextual hierarchies sometimes called inverted pyramids, Silos or Matrices? Pages and sites should contain thematically related words and subdivisions rather than being completely keyword centric and the linking in general should flow from general to specific.

Thematic Keyword Technique – Manual Approach

It seems everyone and their brother sells or promotes a keyword tool. The good news is that the best one is FREE. Now, I said it is the best not the easiest.

The best keywords on the internet come not from WordTracker, Keyword Discovery, Overture or the army of keyword tools that get their words from one or all of those sources. The best keywords come from GOOGLE. How do I know they are the best? Google is the most used Search Engine on the internet. Consequently, their source of keywords is vast.

If you let them, Google will provide all the tools you need to make money on the internet for FREE

Let me show you how to make a killer list of thematically related words with the Google Adwords Keywords Tool External.

First, copy and paste the following URL into the address bar of your browser:

https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal

The page will open to the following:

2. Put in your keyword – use synonyms and click get more keywords – let’s do fishing for an example.

3. At the bottom of the returned list, click add all. The keywords are then transported over to the right side of the page and you have all the words that Google provides for that specific keyword phrase.

4. Pull up another web page window and go to google.com. Do a search for your main theme and just leave that page open showing all the results.

5. Now go back to the Google Keyword Tool and select Site-Related Keywords and your browser should display the following:

6. Take the first URL from your Google search (in this case www.fishing.com) and put it into the tool and click get keywords.

You should get a list of words thematically grouped by the words in the Showing keywords grouped by these terms area below:

Continue down the page and you will see the groups and words like this:

Send all the keywords over to the right side of the page and repeat the process with all of the URLs on the first and second pages of Google. Then, edit, filter and hand select your words as needed and you’re done.

Take a look at all the words that are returned by Google and think about what is really going on here. You are essentially getting Google to give you all the words they determine are thematically relevant to the content on each of the sites on the first and second pages of results. It is not simply a drill down to the useless and obscure. It is relevance by thematic relationship and these word sets contain the perfect building blocks for their Latent Semantic Indexing algorithms. If you create sites with these word sets, provide good content, properly construct your site and linking architectures and execute some well thought out promotion, your sites should rank very well.

The part that may be somewhat hidden or elude some of you is that in the process of extracting related terms, Google also returns thematic subdivisions that can form the basis for a fully themed website. You may have to pick and choose a bit, but I think you get the basic idea. You can also get a good idea of how to section your web site by using a tilde (~) in front of a Google search term inside the search box. Those features return all the words that are related to the original word and they can also be used as the basis to formulate web site sections or subdivisions for proper site theming.

Another much simpler way to do all of this plus a lot more is to make a small investment in NicheBot. $1 gets you started with NicheBot and as little as $9.97 per month gives you access to the best (and least expensive) keyword tool on the market. Did you read the part where I said you can get started for a measly dollar bill?

If you’ve done any sort of keyword research, then I’m sure you are used to seeing a keyword and a count number that represents the search demand.

It’s sort of one-dimensional. Know what I mean?

What if I told you that you could look deeper into a keyword and look at monthly trends of a keyword.

That would be much more insightful, now wouldn’t it?

Well, I would like to show you exactly how you can pick winning keywords every single time — and you can literally do this blindfolded. Well, not really, but close enough.
