Mobile Phone Insurance Website

Mobile Phone Insurance WebsiteThis website was our first real venture into affiliate selling.

We signed up to to a mobile phone insurance white label website to enable us to make a bit of cash selling this insurance. There was a recommendation on the site that everyone creates their own micro site, or even just a single page, to help the sales. Basically, this way you link to your own site for the adverts, so that potential customers don't realise that every Google advert is pointing at the same merchant's affiliates....

It worked well, but we never had the courage to spend a lot on Adsense, nor the experience then to find good converting keywords. The site is still about and has now been extended to link to mobile phone affiliates, but as with many of our own sites, it needs some work as it's been left alone for too long.

Overall, the commissions in did exceed the Google payments out, but some months it was close cut due to the very low budget we were running with. If I had the time and patience to try again now I'd probably have a lot higher daily budget and loads more quality keywords, and maybe even make a good go of it.

Maybe it's on the list of work for when I've got a quiet hour or two...
