Trying to reach $100day profit

[Kaan]

Sorry for my lousy english



Hello, I'm taking my first steps to Affilate Marketing. I created my first test campaigns 2 days ago, after seeing terrible results, I decided to change my strategy.



Affilate Network: CrakRevenue - CPL
Traffic Source: TrafficStars
GEO: Turkey

I created a new banner and the click-through rate went up but there was no conversion.

I need your advice, I'll update regularly.

Good luck everybody

RON is 'run of network' you need to segment that
start with GEO what countries do you want?

I want to try Tier 2-3 countries, Turkey seems reasonable to start

Why Turkey? And TrafficStars??? Never heard of it.

You'll have to send a lot more traffic to see some conversions if you're using RON traffic.

I've tried RON on TrafficStars and it never gave me good results, instead try targetting their premium sites, like xhamster, sex.com, etc. Your cpc might go a little up but you'll definitely see a good increase in your CTR and CR (if the offer is good enough).

TR, CI, IN, PK traffic is dirt cheap in adult for a reason --it doesn't convert well --if at all
Make/find Spanish creatives and try ES,
PL, CZ convert some too --language sensitive

I do not know how to make a landing page, I use the landing page of the offer and these are usually in English. I tested a Spanish offer with 3 different banners, but the click-through rate was very low.
I can make a banner, but since I do not speak Spanish, I write on the banner with google translation, as a result it is overturned.

Which Traffic Network do you recommend

 

[Kaan]

I initially tried RON traffic but I guess it's a bug. I'm going to test premium sites today

Never use google translate to make landing pages, it sucks. It's better to spy on other landing pages, translate those whole pages using google translate, then pick the lines you would like to use from multiple landing pages and implement them into your landing page. Else, hire a translator which gonna cost you money.

Which Traffic Network do you recommend

Try TrafficFactory, it's so easy to use and their traffic converts really well for adult dating offers.

With RON I hardly get 5-10% ctr on my landing pages, and from premium inventories it goes upto 25-30%. Tested on trafficstars and exoclick. So I never prefer RON. Unless you have got a very good converting campaign and you want to scale it badly.

Which Traffic Network do you recommend

Google, Bing, Facebook, even solo ads would work over sites like TrafficStars... But what are you promoting?

Have fun running compliant dating/adult offers on facebook.

Trafficstars is for adult traffic, which works well with the offer. Maybe around 30% bot but that's normal for push traffic.

Google and bing also hate these types of offers.

Hello again

I tested several different offers in many geographies. Despite the high click-through rate, there are no conversions.

Some countries I tested --> Denmark, Israel, ES, PL

I tested some Prime sites but the result is the same :/

Your advice is important to me!

Split different geos into different campaigns. Easier to optimise that way. 1.1% is not a high ctr. Are you choosing these offers or are they being recommended to you?

Try some new network offers, less chance of a double conversion due to fresh DB.

Edit: Just saw your camp costs. Thats no where near enough to test an offer or lp.

Nobody suggested this offer. Is there an offer you suggest I test?

Also all the offers I've tested so far are SOI. How many clicks should I expect conversions?

695 clicks, no conversion, is this normal?

 

[Aiden L]

Nobody suggested this offer.

Ask your AM what he recommends.

Not about clicks, test 10x the offer payout for each LP. Don’t direct link. Make sure you set a competitive bid so you don’t just get sent the shitty quality.

For an offer that does not convert yes. Just a thought, have you set up conversion tracking properly.

I tested several offers recommended by my affiliate manager, but the results were disastrous.
If the campaign bid is low, will the traffic I purchase be of poor quality? I thought only the speed of traffic would decrease.
sorry, i don't understand what you mean by "direct link"

 

[Aiden L]

Low bid equals low quality

direct link"

Means that you don’t use a lp and forward the traffic straight to the offer without warming the leads up first.

You need to build up a strong relationship with Am’s to show that you’re serious about running traffic and generating leads. When your a newbie Am don’t give you the time of day mostly, it’s up to you to persevere.

I'm using the offer's own landing page. I guess I should make and test landing pages myself.

My Affiliate manager helps me with a lot of things, I don't think there is a problem with the offers they offer.

Until now I have always preferred a minimum CPM and used the landing pages of the offers.

I have no experience making a landing page, can you suggest me a site where I can make a landing page

This is why you're receiving garbage traffic.

Some offers convert well some don't convert at all, it's the nature of this business.

You can either use purelander or landerlab. These cost money but are newbie friendly. You could make your own from scratch but that requires extensive knowledge on coding etc. Too time consuming for me.

This is whats called "direct linking"
