How to promote Konga affiliate link using Google adwords

Personally, I won't advise promoting an affiliate program by paying for online advertising on search engines since there are no guarantees that people will buy after clicking on your ad. However, you can make some good money using this method if you know how to best optimize your campaigns and make it also effective.

One of the main methods being offered by Konga's affiliate program for promoting your affiliate link is by making use of search engine marketing and one of those methods involves making use of platforms like Google adwords.

As you might have noticed already as a Google user, there are a lot of adverts you get to see on Google besides the search results. These adverts normally appear when people search for items like Laptops, shoes, clothing and mobile phones or even online shopping.

You would see a lot of links with some pointing to several online shopping websites in Nigeria, Konga inclusive. They mentioned in their affiliate program that using programs like Adwords is one way through which you can promote your affiliate link. How does this really work?

Well, Google adwords is basically Google's online advertising program that lets advertisers place their adverts on Google's search engine as well as publishing network. You can make use of Google adwords to also drive traffic to your affiliate landing page if you have an account.
