Why wait?  Take the initiative and create your own video (or blog) explaining - in your own words - why APS offers a great product and opportunity.  Build your own relationships with your own prospects.  Remember, you're growing your own business here!  APS (like any affiliate or network marketing program) simply provides you with the platform and the product.

Let's not make them wait any longer:

An alternative to TrialPay (another FREE income stream under Step 1) will be announced (and be live) during tomorrow's Webinar (Sep. 3, 2010)!

Once folks see it in action, I'm confident everyone will agree it was well worth the wait. (It takes time to build your own CPA network...)  In fact, it will probably replace TrialPay altogether.

I'm really excited about this folks (and you should be too) because it will add massive value to APS' core product - which is the root of any sustainable opportunity.  Your search engine visitors will find it simple, easy and fast to unlock their results (a la MyLife, with no surveys to complete!)  For those APS affiliates who promote their search engines fairly and squarely, expect your search engine commissions to skyrocket.  For those who try to cheat the system, expect your APS account to be nuked without notice.

So make sure you attend tomorrow's TalkToTissa.com Webinar for a live demonstration and full details!  In case you can't attend the Webinar, it will be recorded.

Looks like it will be your turn tomorrow!

Truth be told I have no idea how this works - but I'm in!  So all I have to do is pick the winning team (i.e. the Redskins)?

Hi Kirsten,

I have seen that message before when creating AdWords campaigns.  In my experience, it's because the geographical area specified isn't broad enough - OR it doesn't match Google's label for the area (even though it may be the identical geographical area).  Here's an example of what I mean (and it's just an example):

If I use AdWords' "Custom" geo-targeting and specify zip code "20155" (which is Gainesville VA), AdWords will display that message you mentioned.  But if I use AdWords' "Browse" feature and browse to a pre-defined locale like "Gainesville, VA" (which is zip code 20155) then I don't get that message.

So if you are using Adwords' "Custom" geo-targeting and specifying just a zip code, try specifying a locale instead that is pre-defined by Google.  Here's how to do that in your AdWords account, using Gainesville VA (zip code 20155) as an example:

Click on the "Browse" tab (in the "Select a Location" pop-up window).  Select the U.S., and specify the state.  Don't stop there.  Once you select the state, metro areas within the state will be displayed.  For example, if you select Virginia, you'll have the option of specifying the "Washington DC" metro area.  That's still too broad, so keep drilling down.  When you click on the Washington DC metro area, that will expand to include many cities - like Gainesville, VA.  That's what you want to select!

You're still specifying the same geographical area (i.e. zip code 20155) but you're doing it in a way that keeps Google (and your campaigns) happy.

If that doesn't work, then follow your own advice:

Ah, I see what you mean, Linda.  That's the APL back office (with the charts and graphs) for independently negotiated PPCall deals.  It doesn't display any stats for the pre-negotiated PPCall offers (like home buyer leads).  That's why we removed that link for now, since it was confusing some folks.

Tissa

You're welcome Scott, and this is an important point you made:

Be careful folks not to sit back and just wait for your turn in the ad co-op.  With all the information in this post, you should be optimizing your own PPCall sites and campaigns.  As Chris said:

Hi Scott,

Since I can't guarantee that my ad campaigns will continue to perform, I can't guarantee commissions (not to mention the legalities of guaranteeing income).  But based on my traffic volume so far, the rotator has been configured to maximize the chances of everyone benefiting from the co-op, and benefiting equally.

Thanks for your understanding,
Tissa

That list now appears at the bottom of "Active Topics" as well.  That should satisfy our voyeuristic instincts.

That link was mistakenly removed.  It's back.

For those who may be modeling their sites after the sample site I mentioned here, note the importance of this type of disclosure on your sites:

"We are a free real estate resource that helps you find homes for sale. We are NOT brokers or agents, and we do NOT earn any commissions from your real estate transaction. Our goal is to help you make an informed decision when it comes to buying a home. Our costs are covered by third parties compensating us for generating premium home buyer leads."

As I've said before, always remember that your role is to generate quality home buyer leads - not to sell homes (especially since you aren't a licensed broker or salesperson!)

Tissa

The Priority Notification List (and the upcoming network marketing product) has nothing to do with the ad co-op (and property site) being discussed in this thread.

Tissa

Nope!

Hi folks,

For those who opted-in at the test Web site I mentioned here, I just sent a broadcast message to give you an idea of how you can build a relationship with your home buyer list by providing them with genuine value - while promoting your PPCall number and zip code(s).  In this case I provided them with a list of open houses today, in their buying area.

Note that in my messages, I prompt prospects to "call the toll-free number listed on our Website and enter zip code blah blah".  I do that because the Web sites rotate through all lifetime members PPCall numbers.  In your case, you could include your PPCall number in your message, i.e. "call 888-000-0000 toll-free and enter zip code blah blah."
