Thanks tyoussef. Yesh popcash didn't work for me either. I have tried all my successful campaigns over there with zero conversions .

This was my best best day ever with mobile campaigns so far which was yesterday. Still a long way to go. Little encouragement for others.

Start of June hasn't been that great. My traffic, CTR, Conversions for my profitable campaign has drastically reduced to less than half which resulted in negative ROI for last 3 days. I have tried everything like implementing new lander with new angle, increasing my bid but nothing has worked so far. Had a talk with my AM and he said that no campaign lasts forever which is true but i don't believe that i am done with my campaigns as they still have potentials. After analysing everything i found out that i have some new competitors with my landing pages . Bids has been raised to 3 times higher than my bid which sucks as nobody is going to profit with that high bid. As a result everybody is going through losses . And thanks to all the spy tools out there. Maintaining a profitable campaign for months isn't that easy.

My AM suggested me to move on and get started with new campaigns which i am doing but at the same time i will keep my campaigns running for a while even though i am going through a loss. I have been in similar situations earlier when i was doing PPV campaigns and came out on the top after incurring loss for a week. Hope it works again and my profitable campaigns are back to it's old form. Working on optimising campaign 10 and 11 and hoping that they will turn green on my next update.

What I don't understand is the strategy behind this. Sure you are launching lots of camps etc... But isn't the goal to find the most promosing offers and try to scale/milk them as fast as possible ? I have the impression that you are running in one traffic sources and not making any move towards scaling (which is in my opinion), one of the most important skills to have to succeed in affiliate marketing. Sure you could still do high XXX and even XXXX camps in one of the top geos in PopAds, i.e. Vietnam, Brazil, Thailand etc... but for other countries with less traffic, scaling up to other sources is a must.

Also, I see a very big focus on ROI, rather than profit. At the end of the day profit is what matters, it is better to make 30% ROI at $1000 spend and make 300 profit than to make 200% ROI at $5 spend. From what I see, the App Install offer should be scaled and milked hard as it is the one that looks the best so far.

Hope you will be able to clear up any doubts, I might have.

And of course good job on the green !
