If you require a different sized banner, please contact us at partners@warcraftmanship.com and we will discuss gettting you one made.

We also offer an ad server to rotate your banners and help you optimize your conversion, and put more dollars in your pocket. We can essentially put all the work on auto pilot for you. You can ask us about it.


2) PPC (Pay Per Click)

Done correctly PPC can bring in massive traffic and massive sales. The key is knowing what words convert. We have found the ads and keywords that we have used to bring in plenty of sales.

This isn't some low gradelist that we put up just to get you to send traffic. We actually tested and tweaked our list in order to keep only "winners".

Because this list is constantly evolving and because we don't want everyone to be able to see this list, please send us an email at partners@warcraftmanship.com and we will send you our up to date list of keywords.

Warning: Don't get in a "bidding war" with other affiliates. Although we don't have something against it, the truth is that in the longer term nobody wins.

Please contact us at partners@warcraftmanship.com for more information.


3) Review Sites

There are two main types of review site you can put together. They are the objective review, and the personal testimonial:


3.1) The objective review. This is probably the easiest to put together. You pick 2-3 products to review, and list WarCraftmanship as your first choice.

Then provide ojective ratings for each guide with some description about the pros and cons of each one. You don't want the top guide to be the only one you have anything good to say about. For this to work it has to seem like the website is just trying to offer help, and not sell anything.


3.2) The personal review. This works very well when you write in an honest way.

Don't make up a story just to sell the guide. Try it use it and write a simple review of what you liked and didn't like. It really helps if you tell the reader this basic storyline:

a) I'm a WOW gamer just like you.

b) I'm really passionate about this game

c) I found this guide and it really helped because it did x, y, z (fill
inthose ideas)

d) Tell what you like about the guide (outline what it has in it and
what benefits the reader gets by using it)

e) Give a link to the guide to get more information.

Also sprinkle in some pictures and links to the guide throughout your copy.


4) Email Your Own List

You can send emails to your own list. We have included a sequence of five emails to get you started faster. To get these emails, you can download this kit.

After, you download them, simply submit your affiliate link and your name and you can press the "Send" button right away.

If you have a bigger list and want some customized help, feel free to contact us


5) Build Your Own List

This strategy can be very effective in circumventing the SE's one url rule, and making money at the same time. Create a site with a few articles, about 10, you can grab them from article directories, or write them yourself. For high quality, cheap articles, use http://www.need-an-article.net

Once you have your site of about 10 pages, put a nice optin form on a sub page, and drive traffic to the optin form. Set your redirect page to your affiliate link, and you will get optins and sales.

Use some of the emails above as follow up and develop some of your own as well. Develop a relationship with your subscribers and you will be able to make money in the long term.


6) Site Target Ads (Now Called Placement Targeting)

Think Google has a 1 Url rule? Well sort of. What they don't tell you is that they treat Search, Content, and Placement targeting separately. So if someone advertises on the search network, but not on content, then you can both run ads to the same domain. The same goes for placement targeting. You can run ads to WarCraftmanship on placement and someone else can run it on content network.

There are two ways to find placement targeted locations. The first is if you are running content ads, just run a content placemnt report and find out where your sales are coming from. This is of course when you have your conversion code on our thank you page. Take the places that urls that generated sales and add them to a placement campaign.

The other option is to use Site Sniper Pro and it will go out and search for pages ranked in the SEs for the keywords you want to tarket. You can find all the ads that are above the fold and in the hot zone specifically targeted to your keywords. You can get Site Sniper at http://www.sitesniperpro.com .

For further help with these methods, please contact us.


7) Article Marketing

You can drive easy SEO traffic using article marketing. It will take some time, but can be done. For a more in depth explanation of Article Marketng check out http://www.bummarketingmethod.com


8) Framed Links

Use these at your own discretion. You can put your hoplink in a framed window on your own site. This will make it look like you are sending traffic to your own page. Google doesn't like this, but it is a quick and dirty way to get around the one url rule.
