Lead generation advice - UK market
-
Hi
I am planning on setting up a lead generation website in a sector I know well and have a domain registered although its only a few weeks old.
I am looking for some insight and advice please to see it its worth doing. For example there are lots of payday loan (not my niche btw) lead gen sites in the UK at the moment but what do all of these sites do with all the leads they generate - who buys them and for what cost per lead?
I have done affiliate marketing in the past, but how does the lead gen process work.
Do you sign up with a lead gen affiliate style network that buys the leads generated off your website.
Or do you have to sell these leads on yourself? If so where do you sell them. I plan tobe operating in the UK

What is the market you are in, I am in car finance so I may be able to point you in the right direction

Hi Sean
That's great thanks, it's a shame they didn't have any sort of affiliate lead gen style platforms out there.

Hi
I would sell them directly to the end user, depending on what your niche is would depend on who you sell them to.
If to use your example you are doing lead gen for Payday loans I would contact all the loan companies and say something like
I have a site that is generating *** leads a month for loans from sub prime lenders such as yourselves I wish to supply you with these leads how much do you pay per lead?
They will have someone in their office who deals with this sort of thing (depending on how prevalent lead gen is in the industry) but the sort of things they will look at are your website and if you are keeping to industry terms of service (finance has lots of rules) and if you are attracting the right sort of lead.
I would offer to send them leads for a month (or a few weeks if you are generating a lot) so they can test the quality, remember it costs them money to follow up leads and if they do not convert they make no money.
I hope this helps
Sean

Adwords Advice
Hi. I have a few questions regarding Adwords set up. I typically follow a highly targeted model with Ad Groups consisting of a few ads and keywords. I have a client who offers multiple services across multiple towns/cities/counties but what I want to know is the best way to structure this at campaign level. Say they offer carpet cleaning, window cleaning and car cleaning. In cities London, Birmingham and Leeds. Now when setting the campaign up, would I be better served to set up a Campaign at: City Level. Eg London location settings, london keywords, london in Ad copy. Service Level. London, Leeds & Birmingham in location setting. Ad Groups for each city with Ads aimed at each city/keywords. Or City & Service level. Eg. London location settings. London Car Cleaning. The Ad Group, Ads, Keywords. What is the best structure to use? I see location as important but if I restrict settings to 1 city, am I doing myself out of some searches from regions on the border of London that might be interested in the service? I want Ads, Keywords to be highly targeted but the best way to play it. Thanks

Adwords Remarketing Advice - Low Traffic Pages
Moz, I am just looking for a little advice if anyone has any experience with Google Adwords and remarketing in particular, I am currently looking through the Adwords help pages to gain a better understanding of how Adwords remarketing works, from what i gather this can be a really useful resource to use in certain industries and i have a lot of ideas and scenarios where i think this could work really well, I am just trying to get a good understanding of the how remarketing lists are built up, Using Rule based targeting for visitors that have visited a specific page that gains roughly 1200 unique visits every 60 days, so i have set the membership duration to 60 days, So if i use the visit of this page as a rule for my list, then in a little less than 60 days time then my custom ads should start appearing to these previous visitors ? My Question Am a right in thinking the remarketing list is like a funnel, once 1000 visitors are added to this list/funnel then my ads will start showing, but then as those visitors in the funnel have reached the 61st Day they will be removed, and replaced with the new visitors being added to the list for that day ? Aslong as my list remains above 1000 visitors it will continue to show, but if i were to drop below 1000 visits within that 60 days my ads would not be visible ? so i would need to potentially extend the membership period if this happens ? Apologies as i really struggled to explain this question as best as i can 🙂 Hope someone can drop me a quick comment and straighten this out to ensure that i am on the right track and i am understanding this correctly 🙂 Thanks a lot James

Tips on marketing actual "Products" rather than "SEO Advice"?
First of all I just want to say that I love SEOMoz, it's by far the best no-BS resource for SEO and online marketing information in general on the entire Internet, and well worth the money. HOWEVER, one beef I am starting to have with it recently is... Most of the content being generated is becoming about "how to market to marketers" or "selling SEO" rather than actual advice or focus selling general products or services. By this I mean that all the new trends towards pumping out content based on research, making fancy infographics etc. etc. are all well and good for those who are trying to market their marketing or SEO talents in general but not THAT applicable to traditional online storefronts. I work for a fairly large company that sells tickets for theme parks/attractions/tours etc. and SEOMoz was a huge help initially for a recent site redesign, but now every time I log on to check for fresh content it's seemingly a repeat similar advice on how to get links or traffic for an SEO business. I don't mean this to come off as a whine because as I said SEOMoz is wonderful, but I've conducted endless site searches for (recent) information on traditional online marketing etc. and the ratio just seems to be...off. Anyone else feeling this way?
