Seeking Help Traffic Question

[buffalo22]

Hello all, i hope you're all doing well and i apologise if my message comes of as annoying because i understand the answer i may get is "It depends" so i'll try and rephrase it.

My question is, what has been the best traffic source for you e.g (Facebook ads, tiktok ads, push ads, pop ads, pop-unders, direct-linking, etc) I understand that it can depend on what offer you're running + what angle you may be doing , but just from personal experience what is the best traffic source that you seem to have the best experience with? On top of that, what traffic source do you seem to be failing in and why do you think that is?

I really really appreciate the time people will spend replying to this and i can't thank you guys enough for forums like this as it has really assisted me in my learning with stuff like this.

I've been starting my journey into affilate marketing and although i haven't fulled started, i will be soon ( i have a set date ) In the mean time i am spending as much time as i can learning everything i physically can to ensure that i won't make as many mistakes as someone who would just dive straight into it, fail, not try to understand why he failed, and give up and tell people it no longer works. Upon looking further into these forum it seems like the perfect place for people with experience, and people new (like me) to learn and also to find people in general who enjoy the same things.

I guess that maybe you're asking for favourite traffic sources? Because you're right, totally depends on what, what type of ads and where you're offering. Yes, people can have their favourites suitable to each type of promotion but it may be hard for people to give you a quick answer because of the variables. I'm retired, so I don't promote anymore and won't offer an outdated opinion.

Yeah exactly, sorry if i worded it wrong. And what made you retire if you don't mind me asking, and do you ever miss the hard work?

Also yeah, i've read everything i physically can in regards to the wiki and read it over. aha
But thank you for your reply

The best thing to do when you don't know what you're doing is to spend as little as possible and learn as much as you can.

You can use inexpensive network traffic to do A<=>B and multivariate testing of both graphic and text copy creatives and bridge (pre-landing) pages, even though you probably will make no money via a conversion while doing this.

It is important for you to understand what people want to see, and how they react, before you start spending serious money on expensive advertising.

If you're looking to make instant money by advertising something (read: an offer) that you don't have any experience with you're just falling into a trap.

When you say, an inexpensive network traffic what would fall into this category, is that like push and pop type traffic? Or do you mean cheaper push/pop traffic? And i understand that the chances of me running the first campagin and making money is near impossible, and it is a lot of variables that i have to actively monitor and change and i've allocated around 300 dollars to loose in order to understand/learn more before i even attempt to try and turn a profit which i'm unsure is enough. And my question is, how many creatives do you recommend would be the best to run? And do you have any good things to read which would help me understand these more? Thanks

is that like push and pop type traffic?

That is the lowest value traffic commercially available --it can be viable for testing. I have always found that type of traffic to be 20%-60% non human or of very questionable sources. That type traffic converts 1:5000 for pay for a product (sometimes called CPS) --I probably dealt with millions of pops over the years.

testing colors for creatives: Claude Artifact this was based on experiments with a game type app.This just illustrates how colors have different meanings and attractions to different people. It's not necessarily a map of success for creatives. It is relevant to the appearance and graphics on creatives.

Taglines, descriptive text and CTA methods are all important and should be tested apart from graphics and colors.

If you only have $300 as starting capital you want to stay with SOI, DOI signups --they say this low value pop/push traffic will convert on this type of offer.

Use a tracker, use a bridge page, put GA4 on the bridge pages, tag your CTA actions (links to the offer, buttons, other with GA4 so you have an idea of your real CTR from YOUR bridge/landing pages to the targeted offer. IMO, Google is just a useful idiot --Urchin based Google analytics (GA4) has a lot of built in filtering that will ignore robots and click-bots.

So bright yellow has a higher 42% Discovery, is there similar things like this that i can read? Thanks

Are pre-landers and bridge pages the same thing? I don't really understand what the difference between them are.

Wow, i didn't think of using ga4 on bridging pages, this is really smart mate, thank you.
And i will start reading more of these threads you have provided. Thank you, you two have helped me more than you think!
p.s I apologise if i ask a lot of questions, just really curious

NP, take your time and sift through some of the mistakes made by others and how they succeeded.
Look for similar situations as you suspect will be there.

Are pre-landers and bridge pages the same thing?

yes basically

I think any traffic source that allows you to target directly to the specific group of people you are searching for by giving all demographic options. I think Facebook ads does that. I haven't tried others though. I have also noticed that whatever I searched on Google last time, whenever I go in on Facebook I see a specific ad related to that.

That being said, conversion depends also on personal interest, ad optimization including design and titles, and how convincing it is, and few other factors we can't control.

Yeah facebook are really good at allowing you to target a specific demographic as you say but i'm unsure how good it is now on iphones after the ios 14 update, probably still better than most

Well, I do not know about the recent update. But If anything would have happened to the demographic settings of Facebook since then, then it must have got even better.
