Understanding the ROI Metric
One of the advanced and accurate metrics inside KeywordSpy is the ROI.
ROI (Return on Investment) is an extrapolated profitability metric computed by the KeywordSpy to gauge how effective an ad is based on two factors: the length of time the ad is running and the frequency of time the ad was seen in search engines.
The maximum ROI of an ad can be equal to the number of days it has been displayed online. It can be adjusted through the member’s “Account” page for you to set what ROI you would consider to be profitable in relation to your campaigns.
In turn, ROI numbers higher than the value you will set will reflect as a green bar on your search results, and gray for lesser values, making it easier for you to evaluate between profitable and non profitable ads and keywords.

We’ve seen the rise of affiliate marketing in recent times, especially in lieu of the recession. But the question of what product to promote always lingers for many people.
If you are an aspiring affiliate, here are the things that you may have taken into consideration, not in any necessary order:
1) The playing field
One will have to think about how many competitors one is up against when bidding or ranking for this product. The fewer the competitors are for a product, the more likely it is to draw people to sell it.
But along that line of thinking, one must also consider, is how easy it is to get exposure for the product you hope to be an affiliate of . Some affiliate networks can offer their media services to you, aside from the usual banners and links.
Also, one must note that there are restrictions to the proliferation of the ad campaign, usually stated in the vendor’s terms and conditions.
2) The product being promoted
What grabs a person’s fancy is how a product they promote could be beneficial to other people. E-books are example of a popular online retailing investment. But another important thing to consider in choosing a product is: How much will it help in the financial well-being of the person?
Also, they may ask the question: Is it a one-time purchase, or will it continuously be picked up by prospective buyers, or used to generate more money?
Other things to consider are visibility and quality. Does your website fare highly in the search engines? Will it be a suitable enough vehicle to showcase your ads?
3) Media for promoting
Nowadays the possibilities are endless. It started with the search engines employing PPC ads. Now there’s Twitter, Facebook, MySpace. Thus, social media has gotten into the act. Now your products can gain more exposure not only when people search, but also when they check on their friends.
In lieu of this, we make the case for selling a program which would define affiliate selling at its most organic—organic in the fact that the product is an aid in making the online business, which the product itself is a part of, more competitive. That product is none other than KeywordSpy.
KeywordSpy is giving everybody a chance to be an “online retailer” for the service it deems the most powerful keyword research and keyword tracking service. As the world starts to fully recognize how potentially profitable an online business is, the more significant keyword tools will become in contributing to websites’ exposure via the always dependent search engine.
Since KeywordSpy helps in market research for SEM-reliant companies, one can make a profit, and help the person that patronizes his/her product earn a profit. This is a phenomenon you can compare to that illustrated in the film, “Pay It Forward”, wherein the privilege of being an affiliate that could help people spring from the throes of recession can be passed on, with you earning on the part of goodwill.
In other words, you help others also become rich by using your tool so that they may gain exposure in sites. With the lucrative PPC market now in full swing, there is more reason to jump on this opportunity. And since early birds will always get the fattest worms, allow yourself a good deal of the package by joining now!

Affiliate marketing is not an exact science. There is no clear cut solution to everything and there are a lot of ways to get it right. But with a lot of "solutions" out there, there are also dozens of ways to get it wrong. Try avoiding these crucial mistakes:
Promoting Too Many Products. True enough, there are a lot of products to choose from. But that does not mean you have to pick every product imaginable just to generate sales.
Take this affiliate, for example, he can be seen as only focusing his efforts on one product. You can look through tools to get the products you can easily sell but trying to sell them all can be quite a challenge. And even worse when you try to sell so much in one landing page. Select a niche you can understand very well and therefore can focus your efforts on is your best bet when you start out.
Ignoring Yahoo! and Bing. Yes, Google is so cool. But everybody else thinks so too. If there is an opportunity to sell through other means of advertising, you will be a fool to keep ignoring it.
Not Maximizing Your Landing Page. Sending traffic straight to the merchant website without properly guiding your visitors is sending them without warning as to what to do or expect from the page. From ad to page, if they don’t see what they need at first glance, they will leave and you can say goodbye to your commissions.
Your landing page acts as the bridge between the customer and the merchant site so lead them well. Let your landing page be informative and focused on providing solutions and information that customers need instead of just establishing selling points that might turn off visitors.
Don’t overdo it with the flashy banner ads, it confuses visitors and irritates them, drawing the conclusion that you’re just another seller. Text links generate a better response whereas banners and graphics also slow down your website.
Not Having The List. The list refers to your list of leads. Generate a list of your niche and frequent visitors to have a constant market to divert your marketing campaign. Remember, affiliate marketing also comes in professional and informative email marketing (not spam). So offer regular email newsletters or free articles about your products and website and collect possible leads. Don’t forget to safe guard their information while you’re at it.
Avoiding Split Testing. With dozens of ads provided for by keyword tools. Blindly copying these ads may not go so well for you. They do work depending on how they are advertised; it’s not just about the copy itself.
Improve these ads and split test them once every few weeks to see which would work better at a given schedule. You get samples of these ads but you can always do better by improving and developing your own proven effective copies.
You already have the keywords you want to monitor for possible inclusion in your campaigns, and by using the Research Platform, you have thought them viable. So you go ahead and put them in the KeywordSpy Tracking Tool.
But what if, something happens and all the campaigns change the keywords they are using? What if you’re forced to redo everything from scratch, and, in turn, have to scratch your head in getting search and traffic-friendly keywords in real time?
For those situations, the KeywordSpy Tracking Tool has the domains covered. It indexes all of the keywords of the competitors that are using the keywords you have tracked so that you are given endless choices for bidding and ranking.
Want to know if the keywords for your auto company are holding up?
You can set them up in your tracking tool, and see how they perform on a daily basis. With just a considerable amount to shell, you make up for it in a worthy investment.
Granted after some time tracking, say a month, the company decides to use different tracking for a month, most of them are still in the game. But you would need to keep up so you don’t lose sight of your hold on the market. Enter the KeywordSpy Tracking 2.0 Suggestion Tool, and other various functions located in the tool.
