Dont you just love direct linking from search engine Pay per click to offers?!

What is direct linking?
With most affiliate offers you create a site (also known as a landing page) that pre-sells the user. They click the offer, and you get paid. Nothing new there. Direct linking is when you instead link directly to the offer rather than preselling the customer and hoping to make some quick cash... No site needed, no effort involved.

I'd say about 90% of the time this is unprofitable and doesn't work.

Originally when I started affiliate marketing I was making up to $250 bucks a day direct linking campaigns from PPC engines. I quickly found that profits and numbers dwindled after others caught on to the direct linking strategy for each niche I was promoting. I was continually having to recreate campaigns and find more offers to promote to keep numbers high.

Eventually I stopped direct linking all together and went with the whole preselling approach which in the long run, brings in a TON more cash and last's a lot longer.

Every once in a while, to the trained eye you can spot gems that are made for direct linking! I happened to catch such a gem recently. Basically the offer is about to expire so I dont mind sharing more details. There was a seminar that paid $16.50 to get a person to sign up for a FREE (FREEEEEEEEE) ticket in very localized areas.

Things to look for:
- Free! Who doesn't like free?!
- High payout for a free offer.
- Very targeted.

So, in about 10 minutes I put the campaign up directing some highly targeted keywords to only the areas the seminars would be in. 10 minutes of work equated to about $200 in profit. How awesome is that?

In hourly rates, that's about: $1200 bucks an hour. Lol. A good use of time? Yea.

Good stuff.
