Pay Per Sale

I am new to affiliate marketing.  I have heard Pay per Sale is a great way to go . I have a great product to offer and I am willing to pay 30 percent plus commission on my sales and I will do all the selling. I just need the leads driven to my site. Can anyone give me any advise on how I would find affiliates that would consider this kind of offer.

Thanks

Time between clicks and commission reporting

Tony, your book definitely gave me a kickstart into setting up programs on google adwords. After a few campaigns/learning experiences, I think I finally found a few programs that should start working well now that the ad campaigns are generating clicks at a good cost, and I have had a chance to refine them and get the CTR up. On the few that are in this category, they have had 2-3 days of steady click activity, but I have only had one $14 commission reported, which is well below the reported EPC on CJ. I checked the advertiser’s detail pages to see if they used batch reporting, but they don’t. How long does it typically take for advertisers to report sales/commissions? I’m trying to make sure there isn’t something wrong with the way I set up the program before I get too far in. The clicks are definitely registering on Commission Junction, so the links appear solid. Any help would be appreciated.

Just Read Your Book

Tony:
I am new to this general industry. I just read your book and found it quite interesting especially in light of the fact that you were successful without a website. However, seeing that it has an ‘07 copyright date I figured that the search marketing business had changed. After reading your blog, it appears that little or no search marketing exists, at least in the sense described in your book. Is my assessment correct? Do you now suggest that only affiliate marketing that directs one to your website / content affiliate marketing will be profitable and/or is the best route? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Keyword links & other

Tony,

I took a few months off from search marketing and now Commission Junction no longer shows keyword links in my existing affilliate programs – are they gone or just renamed?

Also, if I buy a new UK casino domain name then can I do search marketing in the UK to drive traffic to the site? Was just wondering why you recommended purchasing an existing site with traffic instead of creating a new one and advertising on Google to drive traffic?

Thanks,
T
