Hi anes,
Firstly off, excellent case study.
I just wanted to point out something:
I ran this exact offer on a different affiliate network around 3 weeks ago. I drove a heap of keyword + geo targetted traffic to the offer and I got 0 conversions.
I even placed a banner on one of my decent...
Update:
So, after changing the banner back to the original one (as per my previous post) I've noticed mY CTR improve to 0.44.
Not exactly fireworks but an improvement on the poor 0.31 showing.
I'm still not receiving anywhere near as many clicks as the advertiser claimed though.
Despite getting...
Update:
My stats to this point are:
2013-02-13
Impressions 2,971
Clicks 9
CTR 0.30
Conversions 0
2013-02-12
Impressions 13,385
Clicks 42
CTR 0.31
Conversions 1
Revenue $5
Seems like changing the banner didn't result in as many clicks as I had hoped for.
Considering that JuicyAds listed...
It was between $0.04 and $0.10 depending on the keyword.
My mistake was not changing the ad type. I did get a fair amount of clicks however, but without a single conversion the campaign was a flop.
I run a couple of authority type tech blogs and at their peak both sites were generating around $200 a month for me, but then panda and penguin penalised me and ruined my traffic. I've been steadily trying to build up traffic ever since.
Update:
My second banner achieved a better CTR initially. My CTR increased to 0.48, but over the course of the past few hours this dropped to 0.36
I have since uploaded a new banner (custom made) and will monitor and test for at least 12 hours.
So far these are my stats for today...
I think it depends on the site advertised on, the banner, the lander.
I know of some that have made big profits using Juicy as their only traffic source and others who use Juicy solely and run multiple ads weekly and generate thousands of dollars in profits.
I'm gonna stick with this and learn...
Update:
I have noticed that my CTR for today is around 0.37% at the moment. this is far lower than expected.
I have since created a custom banner using pictures of HOT woman and green text against a black background. here's hoping for an increased CTR.
Fingers crossed.

The ad listed a CTR of around 5% on JuicyAds. This is ad dependent of course. My CTR is FAR lower than this.Seems I have to change the banner.
Nice case study, but as numerous posters have mentioned, to anyone thinking of using DirectCPV - stay away and use your money on TV or LI.
I have blown a couple hundred bucks on DirectCPV traffic.

After much reading, internal deliberation, a job interview that left me bewildered and frustrated at the mere thought of having to work for the "man" and being motivated by a video that made the hair on my arms stand, I present my first ever Case Study:
Affiliate Network: DatingGold...
I think it does depend on the type of offer. Dating/Adult offers for example seem to convert better with direct linking.
Though, it you did manage to capture the email address of a lead it could potentially result in higher earnings over the long haul as you could provide them with offers...
Thanks for posting your case study drew.
I ran a few unsuccessfull $4 and $5 dating signups on 7Search for a week.
After they didn't convert I dumped the offers and switches to a different niche.
I see now, that I may have been too hasty. Your thread has given me much food for thought.
