Ask Me Anything Best Times of Day for Your Landing Page

[Graybeard]

First of all, let me say this is VERY subjective to what I was doing this week, the traffic GEO and my own sleep patterns
My time zone is -4 GMT currently (EDT)
US is -4 to -7 (most)
The GEO was US and CA with some (-5%) GB AU NZ

13321 Landing Page loads the past few days
THIS TABLES TIMES ARE WRONG

I think some? read the copy on the LP FRIDAY but only 23 clicked through the LP needs work or the concept of the offer is bad --not sure really

@Graybeard this is good research
Is it 100% PPC traffic?

 

[Graybeard]

No it's filtered redirected pops

I am trying to prove out the offer first before I spend the big money on PPC

As is it is costing $0.796956 per visit of the end point selling page of the offer (23 clicks)

What the actual CR will be (conversion ratio [=sales completed]) is unknown at this point.

I do not want to do marketing development with PPC --you want solid offers and funnels that are working *well* enough to support PPC pricing.

However, this TOD (time of day) data conforms with the EU traffic I was working with in high volumes with regard to: the times of use/by the user's time zone. No surprise just validation of previous data in another time zone.

Corrected time table
us time is 0-12 AM/PM on not 0 to 23 time Zulu or military time as we call it --confusing at 1 am for me

 

[Honeybadger]

How can you collate all your data from many AM networks?
Did you write a code to automate?

 

[Graybeard]

Not a problem for me.
My 'tracker' is like nosql ... Custom coded under development so it's a bit time consuming but detailed
I have network(source), campaign name, user ID, ' in a line --so sorting is very easy once the logic to the bash(query is correct)

commercial trackers don't do that

 

[Honeybadger]

Different level that is

Your results may differ but look at the Bot activity I detected and the times of day in GMT
chart removed found a time zone error
***corrected chart

Are you still running pop traffic?
Also at 1am GMT you got 42 lp loads, am I right in thinking 94% of those were bots?

 

[Graybeard]

Are you still running pop traffic

See the corrected chart i just posted
I made the LP load log in EDT 'my time' so it was less confusing to scan for me ...
still looks 'odd'
IDK
I know this The traffic networks are 20% over what my server is receiving and the load is very low on that VPS so the access is 99.99%
that said the real traffic is about 67% 60-70 of the 80% I get

So I am cutting the CPM bid by 40% - 60% to pay 3.00 /CPM for the good stuff NET
So at best those chart figures are wrong in some instances.
I am not going to waste my time with network scrub list.
What it is it is -- If it is trashy traffic the bid is just reduced.

If i don't get the trashy traffic at the low bid price I saved my money and you made no money Mr. Traffic Manager

I will change the logging to all GMT that's where the error has to be. So, much for a bright idea

**update logs are in sync at GMT now gmdate and not just date in PHP ... PHP is rather lame --the server time is the clock and not the server location d'Oh ... this server is in ET
"region": "New Jersey",
"country": "US",
"loc": "40.8223,-74.4569",
"org": "AS63949 Linode, LLC",

Geez we all need to get on your level. How do we even begin learning this stuff? Any suggestions on materials to start off reading??

 

[Graybeard]

20 years of learning my friend ...
It's programming logic mainly ... I like the Bash shell in LINUX the best
sed(1) - Linux man page
grep(1) - Linux manual page
cut(1) - Linux manual page
wc(1) - Linux man page
I use these the most

 

[Strickland]

I setup my VPS with Linux Ubuntu. (a bit of a cop out I know)
I'm beginning to understand tiny fragments of the strange tongue you speak

It's still all alien to me

 

[Graybeard]

Ubuntu is good --it's Debian based code and fine for servers @Strickland
The nice thing about a self managed server is that you do not use 'monkey tools' that are:
1.) exploitable
2.) consume resources (1GB -2GB RAM) and CPU time.

If you have a server admin question --just ask --be glad to help where i can

 

[Strickland]

Thanks Graybeard I appreciate the help

The master at work! If I didn't have a dev guy I would be asking Graybeard my questions!
