it seems that both the the timing and content of my latest update to my DJK PPC testing is ironic, considering the product being released tomorrow…

Project Black Mask is Chris (Affiliate Project X & Day Job Killer) McNeeney’s latest product and concentrates on Black Hat AdSense Techniques, and it’s being released tomorrow (Tuesday 19th June).

It could well be good, but I’m not going to rush in to buying it myself, partly as I’ve been somewhat dissapointed with the results of my DJK testing and partly because I have quite a lot of Black Hat AdSense experience myself, having been involved in the creation of tens of thousands of “Cloaked” MFA’s (Made for AdSense Sites).

I know that black hat adsense stuff can work, but I also know from experience how difficult it can be to keep ahead of the learning curve needed to stay ahead of Google, and I also know first hand how painfully expensive it can be if you get it wrong.

With that said, what are the latest results from my DJK testing?

Well I’m not going to bother posting the actual results here, it’s simply not worth the time as they are even worse than they were last month.

I am on my way towards making a profit, but because of a couple of expensive campaigns that I didn’t switch off quick enough, it’s going to take quite some time, so it hardly seems like the ideal way of starting to “earn a living online”…

The basic methods of direct affiliate linking, even when using highly focused product keywords, just doesn’t produce enough profits for the amount of time and effort it requires in my opinion.

It is possible to make some campaigns profitable if you spend the extra time necessary to set up a squeeze/landing page with an autoresponder sequence behing it to repeat market to the visitors, but you also need a free report of some sort to get people to sign up.

In my experience, if you’re going to go to all that time, effort and expense, you really want to know it’s a good market before hand and you might as well go the extra step and sell your own product, PLR being the obvious way to achieve that quickly and easily, which is where my next set of testing will be.

So in summary, DJK is a great read and can generate a lot of enthusiasm, but it can easily cost you so much money in testing markets that it becomes difficult to get in to a significant profit level, and the amount of time that it takes for the level of return is just too high for me.

In my opinion there are far more profitable and less risky ways of making money online.

Of course it could just be me, maybe I tested the wrong markets or didn’t try enough, but it doesn’t feel that way to me.
