Dont Always Go for the Highest Paying Lead!

[BrainPower]

I started in affiliate marketing as a publisher, which gave me some great experience in being an advertiser.

For those interested in earning revenue from lead signups (people filling out a form, and the affiliate getting a flat rate), dont always go for the top paying lead.

Example: I find the matchmaking area to be my best niche. There was a provider giving $4.50 per lead, which I thought was high (which is great for affiliates). As time went on though, the conversions were HORRIBLE. I went with a different provider which was $2/lead, and the conversions were amazing.

Lesson Learned: always alway always determine if the advertisers landing page will
A. convert
B. Suit your traffic.

I get a better overall payout on a $2/lead than I did with a $4.50

My two cents.
best of luck out there!

Interesting tips! It seems that it's like using Google Adsense, where choosing the high paying keywords is not always advisable.

Thanks for reminding us.
