In affiliate marketing is the promotion of third party products and in return you receive a part of a sale generated from your marketing efforts. We’ve all seen those little banners on different websites Amazon.com. It would be a very simple form of affiliate marketing. More sophisticated versions are complete stores build around Amazon.com or based on data from other suppliers. In some cases, the affiliate has to build his own website and store – in others are white website templates or pages available label for the affiliate to work. Only when it comes to the actual sale the customer is redirected to the third party supplier that carries the actual product.

There is a new variant, but a well-known version of affiliate marketing is the promotion of affiliate product links / websites via Google AdWords. The power of advertising on Google.com is combined with the affiliate network. The affiliate partner does not need a web site more customer is directly linked to the 3 rd party. With Google AdWords very targeted marketing is possible and well-written ads equipped with the right keywords can bring much money. All members have to do is figure out which keywords are affordable to promote. And that’s where secret to success is. Anyone can buy the expensive and obvious keywords to promote products but when it comes to affiliate success via PPC advertising (aka Google AdWords) the inexperienced marketing folks are being removed or are left with large holes in their pockets. Finding the right combination of keywords, target group, ad copy is the fundamental piece of the puzzle.

Overall – affiliate marketing via PPC on Google can be very lucrative and very few people make their living from it. It seems easy to do but to enter into this field a new affiliate needs a lot of luck, a lot of money or patience and knowledge.
