3 Different Types of Affiliate Marketing Traffic
- Cold Traffic. This is the type of traffic whereby people we are targeting are not yet aware of our products. According to Smart Money Tactics:
"We are not going to be scamming a link or putting it out there and hoping someone gets this product".
Therefore, this type of traffic is not suitable for Google ads campaigns.
- Warm Traffic. This is when you are promoting a product in a niche, let us say a fitness product, and people in the health niche that come across this product may want it or may not want it. There is also a big chance you may not make a sale. We are not going to use this option also.
- Hot Traffic. This is when you put a product in front of people that are looking for it so that you can have an extremely high conversion rate. This is the type of traffic we should use to convert very high and make money.
Finding an Affiliate Marketing Product to Promote
There are unique ways of finding good products to promote.
Capterra
Capterra is one of the web's leading free resources for business software help. The website provides users with insights to choose the best software for their needs. There are more than eight hundred software categories, more than 1.5 million validated reviews, and more than 50 000 products on the platform. It is 100% free to use because they get paid by software vendors that help connect to people.
You should browse through the software categories on the platform and take a look at the different niches. You can easily read the summary of the products. when you see a product you like, you should use a search engine like Google, Yahoo, or Bing to research the software if it has an affiliate program. You should also research the affiliate program very well because you need high ticket value commissions with recurring commissions.
Another caution is that you should not run products that many people had already started running ads for.
From the screenshot above, there are paid ads, so you should try to not promote products that have many ads. According to Smart Money Tactics,
"When you search for products, you. are looking for products that no one else is running ads on; however, some of these products get searched so many times that even if there are two or three ads, it doesn't matter, and you will still get a lot of traffic."
For example, the screenshot above is that of software for video making called Invideo that has got ads promoters that are already running, but let us look at it in detail.
- Global Volume Search — 135 000
- India Volume Search — 34 000, 25%
- United States Volume Search — 9 500, 7%
- Indonesia Volume Search — 7 100, 5%
- Pakistan Volume Search — 7 000, 5%
- Brazil Volume Search — 6 900, 5%
With this information, we can easily decide which region to target and make a high conversation rate. Targetting India and the United States seems to be the wise option, but we can allocate a few of our ads budget to Indonesia, Pakistan, and Brazil. The greater part should be allocated to target the United States and potential users.
Here is the summary of the 3 attributes of the products you should promote:
- High Ticket Value Commission
- Recurring Commission.
- Product with no ads running or with extremely good ads search.
Google Ads
Our traffic source will be Google ads so we need to be smart about how and who about it, we need an effective marketing and ads display method to get value from the Google Ads expenses we are making.
Create a new campaign and use the search campaign type in your Google ads. Your setting should only be Search Network, remove Google Display Network.
Google Ads Daily Budget
Your daily budget should be $15 to $20. With this range, you will get a good start with your campaign, and you can increase or decrease your daily budget as you make progress in your campaign.
Countries
According to Smart Money Tactics,
"You have the option of selecting all or any country of your choice, but when I checked, I saw a lot of countries were getting a lot of traffic, so I am going to leave it as "all countries and territories", or I can modify it."
