Progress update: June 25th, 2015
made the first conversion !!!
Data
impressions: 10,323
Clicks: 10
conversion: 1
payout: $2.60
spend: $43.61
Profit: -$41.01
This time I concentrated on one site profiled it then created banners that the audience of that site will relate with.
The problem is the the spot I was bidding on has little traffic which results in bid war, therefore I will search for other sites with a similar profile and have lots of traffic at a lower cpm
Strategy used in eliminating banners
1200 impressions no clicks –OUT
More than 5000 impressions – if CTR less than 0.1%- OUT
IF NONE LEFT- create new ones within the same day and upload the next day
the ones that remain I try to improve on them and create variations.

thanks... I'm now able to get conversions but all my campaigns are negative ROI mainly because the CPM is high...now I have only a few choices
- Reduce my cpm which results in me getting no traffic
- find another traffic source which is cheaper... for this one it tricky because cheaper traffic doesnt mean quality and finding a similar traffic source like the one I'm converting is a challenge
- Find a high payout product of about $15+ this will affect my testing budget
I'm tempted to move to other traffic sources but that is not the solution... I want to master sitescout as a traffic source . I know people are making big figures there ... it just a matter of hard work and persistence and I too will enter their league.
yeah that a challenge in sitescout but its something that can be overcome by researching the demographics of a site before launching a campaign.

@moneymaster
I thought you can use alexa.com such tools to determine the demography of the site?
So assume for that you can pursue 30-50 male?
If you have a few sources that's making you profit, then whitelist them, though it's little but can still make you profit in long run.

I remember using Alexa for checking demographics on something typical male oriented, I think it was game related, and Alexa told me 90% was females, that´s when I understood that maybe that site isn't always accurate.

its been long since I updated this thread but never gave up
I've kept at it explored different traffic sources, different offers, different geos , different offer networks and found something that is working for me.
Yesterday I got my first profitable campaign with a low ROI of about 40%
at first the campaign was unprofitable but after weeding out non performing banners and landers the campaign become profitable
I will run that banner/lander combination a bit longer to see how it performs.
Desktop campaign
banner ctr 0.15%
lp ctr 37%
Lp conversion rate: 16%
any suggestions of how I can increase my ROI ?

Hey I agree with allbof your other suggestions... But this one never works for me. In fact I feel more distracted by doing it... So am wondering how its working like a magic for you, really want to develop this kind of focusing method to keep myself free from any other thing thats around... By that whay what kind of music we are talking about ?

Also, like randomness of SOMAFM - somone out of San Francisco streams all these different stations
checkout - SomaFM: Commercial-free, Listener-supported Radio
I like:
Groove Salad
A nicely chilled plate of ambient/downtempo beats and grooves.

Having the same issue on Sitescout. I have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at it.
It will certainly test your confidence in your ability to succeed.

@moneymaster Can you tell us how much money have you "invested" into all media buying efforts before you made your first conersion?
or how much money it took you to learn it enought to be able to launch campaing with positive ROI.
It would be great to know how much does it take to have results.
