Get Vis: Full Fat But PPC Free!

At last, I'm now PPC free. All my revenue is now generated by other sources but none from PPC. And boy does it feel good!

I decided, after being messed around by HMV last Christmas that I'd work towards getting rid of PPC being a fairly large chunk of my sales source. I can't remember how much I spent then, but in June 2007 it was around £10.5k - which isn't huge compared to most, but still is a decent amount.

Last month I spent around £300 and now I've switched everything off!

But how did I get to this stage? Well, I started looking at niche products that were due to come to the market in about 6 months - 1 year and built up sites around them and obtained good quality links naturally because often the sites were actually useful. I also did the usual thing of registering with directories as well as utilising social bookmarking, social networks and other services such as Squidoo.

Obviously I'll still be looking out for PPC opportunities, but I prefer to spend my time finding products that most affiliates don't know about and building sites that way. I get a lot of satisfaction interacting with my users and this is something that PPC never gave me.

Hopefully there'll be no going back - but you never know!

Are there other affiliates that are PPC free?

What I'm listening to: Some boring git on Radio 2!

No back to some reports!
