Introducing Market Leverage

I have just signed up with Market Leverage. Other than the usual online signup form, they also insist on giving me a phone call to start with the relationship.

Market Leverage offers web publishers another channel for affiliate marketing. They offer a very lucrative CPA model that when someone signs up for a service, you get paid.

Your downline would also make Market Leverage contribute 5% to your account.

An account manager would also be assigned, and you would get personal help from him to get started. Market Leverage has helped a lot of new bloggers to monetize their blog and increase their income.

It all seems to be quite easy. To start earning money, you just need to Sign up here: Market Leverage. After being approved, you can:

  • Place banners on your site
  • Write about the services with sign up link
  • Email your subscribers about the service, with the sign up link

Instead of choosing only one service, you can use banner rotator instead.  You can choose to display only 1 category of products, or all products.  And of course you can also put only a product that you select as well.  You can also use popup / popunder – codes are all provided for you.

Overall, Market Leverage gave me a feeling that I am not just another publisher. Their ‘personal touch’ do make me feel I am being looked after.

Market Leverage has made affiliate marketing simple. It is free to sign up, so why not give it a go?

Search Network Vs Content Network

If you are experienced / semi-experienced in Adwords, then you would know the difference between these 2 networks.  However, I just read from some news that there is a guy suing Google for making his ads displaying on websites that he doesn’t like.  He thought not putting in the bid for content ads would automatically opt him out of the content network.

I won’t be surprised if Google wins the case.

In brief:

  • Advertising in the search network means allowing the ads to show as the sponsored links of the search result pages.  This supports geo-targeting ie. you can choose what country / region to display your ad, and is based on a standard IP table.  Only contextual ads are allowed.
  • Advertising in the content network means allowing the ads to show on Google’s content network, which is a pool of Google’s partnering sites.  You can go through the list of websites and only allow the ads to be shown on the sites that you choose, or exclude the sites that you don’t like etc.  You can use contextual ads, banner ads (flash, animated gif or static image), video ads etc.

When you setup an Adwords account, it is always recommended to setup 2 campaigns, one for content network and one for search network.  This way you can control the budget spend better as well.
