I am, like most of you, always on the hunt for quality backlinks or sources of targeted traffic.

I've read about paid blog reviews, but never have tried them. Well, I finally went for it plunking $200 bucks down with ReviewMe.com. First, I was surprised by how many sites there were in the make money online/affiliate marketing niche. Not only an abundance of sites, but sites with good PageRanks, low Alexas and quality content.

Reviews cost $40-$7500, with most averaging $40-$60. While there are many blogs in the $100 per post range, I discovered the $40 and $60 paid reviews are just as good.

Site is easy to use and the quality of reviews were good. Not great, but good and I picked up solid backlinks and a little traffic. It's a great way to acquire niche baclinks which are VERY hard to come by and essential to good SERP rankings.  

The downside: I'd order a review from a particular blog and not hear back. I think a percentage of the bloggers are not active with ReviewMe.com and I've wasted a lot of time trying to find bloggers to take my money and review my website. In the last month I've purchased 12 blog reviews and only had TWO pick up my offer... the rest didn't even bother to respond. If they're not interested in my site they're suppossed to reject the review and I didn't get that. They're simply didn't respond. I still have money in my account.

That has been frustrating, but overall I think the site is a great way to pick up high PR niche backlinks and traffic without getting in trouble with the Google God for link scheming. Try it out.

Oh, and if you're a blogger consider signing up and getting paid to blog. I don't think you'll get rich, but it could be easy to snare an extra $100-$1000 bucks a month. 

As I've said, CBengine is an expensive site to maintain and we've had trouble giving higher payouts because of this, but we're now pleased to report that we've increased our affiliate payouts to 50%. Our program is managed through ClickBank. ID: cbengine

Furthermore, if you have a decent sized list I have a special promotion that you can offer your subscribers. Get in touch with me here and I'll give you details. Thanks.

I wanted to let CBengine members know that Mass Article Control is going to do a substantial price increase in the next few days. Now you can get the product for $77, which is a steal. If you're an article marketer, it's a good idea to jump on this offer now. I've personally talked to the product creator and he said they'll be continuously doing product upgrades and feature enhancements, which is nice. So many software products never upgrade or work to improve their systems. If you have the budget, I would secure your copy now at the lowest price it's ever going to be. I think there are only a couple days left and the cost of the software will double.

I normally only bring quality products to your attention if they're ClickBank related. I'm going to break from tradition to tell you about CPA Arbitrage. This smartly written guide is about CPA marketing (CPA stands for cost-per-action). Basically it's like affiliating Clickbank products but different in that you are getting paid for every action or lead you generate rather than every sale you generate.

A lead might consist of getting somebody to enter their zip code or email address or more complete information like address, phone, income and education levels, etc. From experience, I can tell you that leads/actions convert at a much higher rate than product sales. It's not uncommon to have over 10% conversion rates for leads where, as we all know, sales tend to be far, far less.

A couple years ago I affiliated a CPA offer that paid me $1.35 per action. Doesn't sound like much, right? But all users had to do is enter their zip code. It doesn't take much to get somebody to enter a zip code. Off this one single offer I generated $5,000 in under two months. My conversion rate was over 20%. Easiest money I've ever made online. Unfortunately, the offer was for a limited time only, but off this single offer I have no doubt I could have earned six-figures a year. My point: there is real money to be made with CPA.

CPA Arbitrage is a turnkey system and it's easy to get going. I thought I had CPA expertise, but this guy is the master. Even if you're busy with ClickBank marketing, this is still a great guide to invest in from a knowledge point of view. Affiliate marketers are knowledge workers. The more knowledge you have in your head, the more money you make. Furthermore, it's good to diversify your online money making a little in case one niche is to lose revenue, which happens. I personally do Clickbank, CPA and a couple other things to keep my online business well diversified.

Regardless, there are ideas in this guide you'll be able to port over and use in your ClickBank marketing. It's just damn good information that explains CPA fully and gives you clever tips and tricks to dominate the space. One trick I never would have ever thought about is recruiting sub-affiliates via webmaster forums to do your CPA marketing on your behalf and then paying them half or less of what you earn per action.

I hate to be too bold, but if you've ever considered getting into CPA, you need this guide. I wish this guide had been around when I first got started. It would have eliminated my learning curve.

Key points in the guide:

• Up to 300% commissions, selling other people's products
• Trade traffic for profit
  
• $191k from ClickBank in just 2 years and Chris Cobb, the developer of CBA Arbitrage, turned his back on it!
• How to generate 7,000 - 8,000 new names & e-mails each and every day...
  
• Ongoing sales and commissions - on autopilot
  
• Make money WITHOUT having to sell anything
  
• Advertisers pay you for sending them leads.
  
• You're really being shown how to become a traffic broker
  
• Multiple campaigns, duplicate and replicate to make as much as you want/need.
  
• CPA offers are becoming the biggest, most talked about subject right now. It's time to claim you piece of the pie.

With that, I'll let his website explain the program in more detail. This product gets my very highest recommendation and not many do.

And what the heck, I wasn't going to do this, but I'll make you the same offer I did with PAY DAY FORMULA. If you invest in this system through my link, I'll upgrade your account to a LIFETIME PRO MEMBERSHIP.

If you already have a LIFETIME membership, I will give you my VIRAL MEDIA CASH e-book as an added bonus.

Once purchased, simply fill out the contact form with the title CPA ABRITRAGE OFFER. Please include your purchase receipt number, CBengine username and the email address you used to purchase CPA Arbitrage.

Thanks for your time and happy marketing,

Okay, this is related to my recent post about buying traffic from text ad networks. I promised I'd write more about buying traffic directly from webmasters.

Entertainment webmasters often sell what they call 'plugs' or 'link dumps'. The prices range depending on how much traffic you purchase, but average cost-per-click is .01 and .02. You can't buy a plug to a vendor landing page. You need to send that traffic to a viral video or what's known as a, ahem, 'babe video'. A babe video is nothing more than a non-nude bikini video. Cam girls, etc.. Some of you might morally object to this, and that's perfectly okay, but I'm here to tell you these videos are the largest source of traffic on the web.

So, try this. Set up a free blog, embed a babe video from YouTube or the free video hosting network of your choice. Above and below the video place a big text hoplink for a product of your choosing. Read more in my initial post about how to select products that do well with this demographic. And keep in mind, the video doesn't need to be a babe video, but they get triple the traffic of a comedy viral video.

Find entertainment sites, write and ask how much their plugs cost.

Depending on the product you select, it's very possible to get enough sales to turn a profit. If you find a product that strikes the right chord, you might be suprised by how well you'll do. Most will check out the video and leave, but if your text links are big and enticing, you will pick up clicks.

Ask entertainment webmasters how much traffic on average you'll receive and try to keep the average CPC between .01-.04.

You don't always need to buy plugs. A lot of them sell graphical and text links and it's the cheapest source of traffic I've found. Granted, it's broad and not keyword targeted, but there's a heck of a lot of it and it's cheap. I believe this is a huge, untapped marketing channel for CB marketers. A friend of mine told me I shouldn't be giving this information away, but I want CBengine members to be successful, so there you go.

Another place to hunt for plugs and research traffic buys are on entertainment webmaster forums. This is the best one. Sign up, introduce yourself and start asking webmasters for ad rates.

Let me know if you have any questions.
