    Well,

    I hate to say it.

    I did call this one and then was not sure.

    This is definitely sure!

    Received this an hour ago.

    “Due to current circumstances Elite Clicks Media, LLC. will be closing operations, so effective immediately Elite Clicks Media, LLC. will no longer be running or accepting any affiliate traffic. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. If you have any questions please direct your inquires to ecmclosing@gmail.com.

Any invoices submitted after April 30, 2011 will not be considered for payment. Best, Managing Members Elite Clicks Media, LLC.”

    I know this will not be the last one this year.

    Affiliates should now examine their networks and offers like you would a speculative stock!

    I have much more to say on this and other topics.

  • Better than Money ? The TRUTH of What WORKS!!!

    Posted on April 12th, 2010 imveritas 2 comments

    So, the other forum I posted my strategy on is now on fire.

    You would think no one had ever posted anything of detail that works.

    The truth is few have.

    The forum owner comes closest and maybe 3 members, but even I have noticed exact details and long descriptions are now lacking and posts about favorite movies and stupid sh*t is now popping up.

    Who pays money each month to hear about stupid sh*t?

    I DONT!!!

    I pay to make back at least $5 dollars for every $1 I spend (and you should too!)

    So, here is the complete step-by-step Money making plan:

    15 Minutes to Fame: How to Make Money from 1000′s of targets in CPV/PPV and not Lose TONS of Money!!!

    DISCLAIMER: IF YOU BLOW YOUR CASH OR SERVER DONT BLAME ME !!!

    THIS IS FOR HIGH VOLUME & HIGH BUCK. IF YOU CANT AFFORD TO LOSE $100′s

    DONT DO THIS !!! IF YOU DONT HAVE TRACKING DOWN. DONT DO THIS!!!

    END DISCLAIMER:

    1) find a trend. go to google insight and type in any CPA/CPS offer vertical or offer and you will see certain days, months, years are better.

    2) use a scrapper and pull all the keywords and urls related 10 deep (yes that will be a few thousand) Remove any that obviously are not specific and have high volume traffic IE: diet and facebook.com

    3) set-up tracking whatever traffic source you are using

    4) pause your creatives NOT campaign while you  get your links and keywords approved

    5) set your caps for minium. I set mine for $10. Set your bids for 1-3 positions. (you need steady traffic to test effectively)

    6) once you have everything approved. UNpause your creative.

    7) watch the traffic very 15min. Get rid of any targets that are more expensive than your payout.

    8) after 15min. to 1hr you will see what targets have volume and maybe even conversions.

    9) pause ALL other targets you have and let this block of performing targets run for 2hrs.

    10) pause and optimize. then run optimized targets in next 2hr-3hr block of daily traffic.

    IE: 8-10am, 11am-1pm, 3pm-6pm, 7pm-10pm

    11) once you have a block of targets optimized you can run them at different time blocks and see if you can get a better ROI on time targeting segmentation.

    12) repeat process for each traffic source to scale.

    This Method maximizes targeting  for consistant volume targets and saving capital for actual performers!!!

    You find what has volume, what is making you money and stop wasting money on what doesnt convert or get traffic.

    You can set up 1000′s of these. Since, there are 1000′s of offers and 1,000,000′s of targets.

    There are some nuances I will have in the members section to make you more money.

    This should be a BIG START!!!

    Now, go get testing methodically ;)

  • Mad minds think alike or enough with the sheeple!

    Posted on March 26th, 2010 imveritas No comments

    LOL,

    WOW! I just got done reading 3 blogs. Where each one of them was more scathing than the last about ‘gurus’ and ‘sheeple’ and the’ sheering’ going on.

    Once more hats off to the out-spoken and out-landish PPC.bz.

    Nice to know I am on the right track with reporting what works vs. what is hype B.S.

    So, the tip for the day.

    Things are seldom what they seem.

    Take bidding in CPV.

    You see a high bid of $0.20 and you assume that 3rd place is  $0.17.  So, you place it and low and behold you are at rank  10.

    OK, so you figure you will move your bid to $0.18.

    OK, now you are at rank #5.

    Uh ?

    You say f*-it and place a bid of $0.21 and now you are 1st place.

    What happened with all the other places. Why didn’t it just move up $0.01 per rank ?

    The ugly secret ?

    On some CPV networks, if someone is bidding higher and they have their freq cap or week parting set to the future IE its mon and their ad wont run tell thur. Their bid is STILL COUNTED towards all bids!

    So, even though they may not run on thur (they could pause it or kill it.) Their bid is STILL affecting you on Monday.

    Betcha the networks didnt tell you that one !

    I will talk later on how to combat this sneaky-sneaky when used against you.

    Enjoy.

  • The Beginning & Why?

    Posted on March 21st, 2010 imveritas 2 comments

    It has been over a year since I started with PPC Internet marketing and 6 years since I started SEO CPS marketing and over 10 years since I did my first Internet marketing campaign with banner ads for an offline product.

    I decided awhile ago that spring 2010 (3-21-10) was the ideal day to start a BLOG about the “truth” or Veritas of Internet Marketing and for the most part, ALL marketing, advertising, sales and business. Since, with-out the ‘truth’ there is not much that can occur. At least, not in the long run.

    So, If you want the ‘truth’ of what works and the ability to apply it and make money on the internet. This is your blog.

    I will post what works and what doesnt for PPC, PPV, CPV,  CPT, Media Buys, Banner Ads, Mobile2Mobile, Contextual, Social, Tiered and any other form of marketing or advertising that work or may for CPS, CPL, CPA and CPC monetization.

    Pragmatics (doing what works) and Philosophy (the application of knowledge) are our hallmarks.

    To those who are looking for what works and makes money online.
