Ask Me Anything Testing Advertising Networks

Graybeard

Well-Known Member
I am starting to buy ads from various ad networks for my own websites, whitelabels, and my own affiliate sites where I contract direct with the vendors/sponsors. So, before any affiliate networks AMs or Tracking tool guys get excited -- I am not your target customer ;) No offense meant but I have developed my own networks and IT tech way working. I hate dashboards, I hate tools -- I am the one that writes my own manual.

I like ssh and a LINUX Konsole/xterm/terminal :>)

Anyway ...

  1. All advertising networks that accept XXX Adult content will be considered.
  2. Anyone with high level B2B experience is welcomed also -- I have a very good Proxy/VPN product to market -- it is expensive $500/mo minimum commitment.

_BEGIN_
 
1. Clickadu in CZ
Clickadu has a network of real adult websites that sell them traffic. Clickadu identifies the sites only as zoneid={1234567} but I can sort the good from the bad.

So far in the last 2 days ... The target site is xmedia.stream | Live Sex Chat, Sex Shows and Webcam Sex - Amateur Cams and Pornstars



As of the last hour:








Tool #1 redirection server in ssh ;)
Price free (Learning how to use it A Lot ;) )



So the 'journey' begins:D

Defining the goals of this:
Each new user that premium joins and then later becomes a paying customer (paid-in conversion) is going to generate $100 - $200 average gross revenue to me per year.

So, if 30K ads cost $35 and I get just one paying customer I would consider this a success and continue with that ad source (until the ratio becomes less).

My goal with this site is $5,000 /yr in ad (spend) that will will yield 200 new PAYING customers /year. 600 to 1000 free premium signups (free validation with a Credit Card or Paypal acct [via Epoch Processing]).

big - 0 - so far:rolleyes: ...
 
Clickadu seems to be having problems with date and time scheduling in their interface -- trust me I have screenshots and logs of the issues --but-- I will see if we can can *somehow* resolve them.

The traffic (superficially) is OK. The IPs 97% resolve to residential IPs -- not click bots. However, the traffic is being sent at the wrong times and this *may* be one reason why my premium registration goals are not being met.

I have Source #2 set up and am waiting to spend out Source #1's test.

One thing that deserves being mentioned about selling cams: there has historically been delayed conversion results. The normal conversion process can take a few weeks wile a person introduced to a adult webcam site looks around and then *falls in love* with a model or even the general idea of cam sex -- then makes his registration and/or first buy. Patience is a bitch but necessary in the webcam biz.

The party ain't started until the horney lady sings :p
 
Thumbs up for finding a traffic source with few/no bots. We get a lot of people complaining about bot traffic, regardless of the source. ;) Sucks a bit about the scheduling being wrong but I'm sure you'll get that straightened out.

The normal conversion process can take a few weeks

Just priming the pump for meeting your goal.

The party ain't started until the horney lady sings :p

You certainly know how to turn a phrase. :D
 
I am filtering out many -- well over 1 million datacenter bots (click-bots) and old decrepit browsers and operating systems. To use webcam video chat you need good or better equipment -- modern PC's and not be too broke to by a good computer or a tablet.

MISE 8.0 or Firefox 3.0 are not acceptable
Poor people out for free porn need not apply -- show me the MONEY :)

Holy crap!

I admire your skill in finding and fixing the bot situation. Wish there was something that did that, either on the advertiser's end, or available as a tool for us non-techy types. Preferably done at the traffic source. Seems to be a lot to ask.

MISE 8.0 or Firefox 3.0 are not acceptable

Oh, come on! Even people on Commodores with dial-up need webcams. :D They make a nice change for when they're tired of playing Atari tennis.
 
actually you need a good 4 core or a Android 5+
If you come to a webcam site with <4.4.4 you are refused service :p po' folk need not apply
 
Webcam INTEL :D what the French and Italian traffic pages served were today 10, May, 2018 ;)

Hello @Graybeard, thank you for your feedback.

We're still working on 2.0 platform version, so you can suggest some improvements and get some extra $20 for the new tests.
If you got any, ping our Self-Serve Platform support via Skype: live:ssp.support_1
 
I have discussed this -- We are closing the account for the reasons that your SSP platform is problematic.
Specifically with regard to scheduling. You spit all of the traffic out immediately when the ad is approved by your moderation. I need time delay and reasonably distributed traffic.

If you want to discuss this just DM me here or you can find my account 1101991 is my last campaign and my balance is showing as -0- currently. I am awaiting PayPal's notification of the balance refunded.

*** updated
Clickadu s.r.o. just sent you a partial refund of $65.38 USD for your purchase.
Ok -- no hard feelings ...
***

The traffic itself seemed OK (human traffic) or at least from consumer IPs. Because of the nature of the webcam business, often registrations and paid-in conversions may take time, as I said above^.

So, at this point I have -0- productivity -- that is not a big deal right now.

When you have your new platform in a stable state, and in a state suitable to my time scheduling requirements, i.e.; hours of moderation 8 AM to 4 AM CEST/Daylite time (2 shifts) then I think you are prepared to do business with USA customers. Currently -- You are not.

Here are the final statistics on the actual RON traffic counted at the targeted website and the actual unit costs incurred .. on to the next test ...

Bottom line it it was not productive (so far).
 
well a $35 loss is not the end of the world for me :D
And who knows what the final result will be. I have the leeway to create affiliate/ad tracking codes for each advertiser up to 9,999,999,999 then limitless on my redirection servers ;)
 
Second test starts in a few hours #2 TrafficShop

A few (134 clicks) went out -- my error on the time release ... I fixed the times and the campaign remained active -- hopefully it restarts at 01:00 Thursday CEST Bucharest that's 8 PM USA.

Same routine as before redirected to xmedia.stream so we have apples and apples. These are popunders as before so we know they are inexpensive but have low productivity. Some of his has to do with branding. ROMI
 
Funny thing, I was working out some of the stats this morning, while waking up with some coffee, and then I had an epiphany:

I had over 1,000 *offers*, as you call them, happening simultaneously in my webcam *network* last night ...

You see, for every ass there is a seat. Each Cam Girl (or cam performer (M/F/BI/TRANS)) is a distinct *offer* with their own attributes, personality traits and also the cost of playtime :).

soooo ....

Sorry, these PHP boards are awful at formatting stats :(



To make matters more complicated, *offers* may be unavailable at the time for the referred customer -- the performer is engaged in a private session or a group show |or| has gone offline and unavailable.

Now these pops are the worst ads as far as conversion -- I know that from years of experience. However, they have 2 ROMI values;

  1. They produce top of mind branding (in the most obnoxious way--in your face) bad publicity is still publicity, top-of-mind branding ALWAYS matters when your goal is long-term.
  2. Pops present insight to marketing functions.
Bottom line I spent $2.61 and made a lot of work for me :eek:
