Hey moneymakers!

It's me, vaRos with you today.
I'm glad to start over my career in international affiliate marketing. Here I'm going to share with you my experience in such a crazy world on Digital Marketing.

Here is what I'm using today:

• 2 ISP servers located in USA and Russia (one for domain and LPs, another for tracker);
• PixelK tracker;
• Adplexity Spy service.

• Offer's vertical: AntiVirus (9 offers, 3 Geo)
• Payout: Different
• Ad network: PopAds

Last week I was busy setting up everything together and finally started to test campaigns on Friday night.

Since that night I've tested 3 countries, 9 offers and 9 LPs . It took me $80 to test it. After test campaigns I have 1 country, 1 offer (Payout: $0.90) and 1 LP which performed better then others. Today I created a campaign to make a split test for a last LP.

Day 1:
Budget: $40
Clicks: 13,877
Conversions: 0 (just imagine my mood that day)
Analyzed statistic reports and did some optimizations.

Day 2:
Budget: $40
Clicks: 15,835
Conversions: 7 (I was dancing!!!)

Day 3 is coming tomorrow! Today I will be generating traffic only on 1 county (Bulgaria).
Hope you were not overwhelmed with this information

Stay tuned.

Sincerely,
vaRos.

Day 4

Budget: $40
Clicks: 21,023
Conversions: 8
Daily ROI: -84%

Overall ROI: -79%

Total spendings: $364 (including soft and services)
Revenue: $25.82

Plugrush didn't give me any reasonable outcomes to continue testing campaigns. Received 1 conversion from Plugrush and 7 from Popads. Increased budget on Bulgaria in Popads and began to receive more traffic which is great, because I had a problem with that. However, from 5am to 12am got 0 conversations, but from 12am to 6pm got 7. Do you see an opportunity for the optimization?

On the Day 5 will be testing another country (Serbia) with the same vertical (1 Geo, 3 similar offers, 3 different LPs).

Stay tuned!

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry for ignoring this thread for a while, had some problems with domain and was sick for 4 days. Here what happened since my last post:

I am still testing Serbia (2nd day of testing on Plugrush with -51% ROI) and started to test Romania (2nd day with -63% ROI).

Overall results:
Clicks: 127,000
Spendings: $585 (including everything)
ROI: -74%

Have a strong hope to get positive ROI on Romania. Otherwise, I will reconsider my approach of advertising. Currently using pretty similar LPs and strategy for all countries.

In order to test any offer I use the following strategy. I start campaign without any targeting (e.a OS, OS version, Browser, Carreer, etc.) and run it all day. At the end of the day I analyze and optimize metrics in the following sequence:

• Day 1: Offers (I run 2-3 similar offers on 1 campaign). Remove offer if ROI lower than -70%.
• Day 2: Landing pages (I run 3 completely different LPs). Remove LP if ROI lower than -70%.
• Day 3: Devices.
• Day 4: OS and OS versions.
• Day 5: Browsers.
• Day 6: Carrers.
• Day 7: Web sites (black- / white-list)

Budget allocation strategy on every country. I allocate 5-10 amounts of payout, but not less than $10.
For example: I take 2-3 offers on every country.

• 1st offer payout: $2
• 2nd offer payout: $2.2
• 3rd offer payout: $2.7

Daily testing budget: ((2+2.2+2.7) / 3) * 5 (or 10) = $11.5 - $23 on one testing cycle.

What do you think about my strategy? Any corrections or advices?

Typing mistake, the real loss $485, but still... And it's not only advertising costs. Spy service, 2 servers and tracker also included.

I'm actually using aggressive LPs with back button, timer, and redirect scripts.
Maybe the reason is in offers? I am not using top offers from my manager, I just pick 2,3 with similar rules on one geo.

Hello everyone, I have a concern about my affiliate network and need your HELP and advice.

I already posted information that all my potentially profitable campaigns end up with 0 conversions after 1-2 days. Here is statistics of the last offer I was promoting: Screenshot

This is the 4th time in a row when offer dies in a day. First day there were 3 landers and 3 offer on a test. Second day 3 landers and 1 offer. Third day 1 lander and 1 offer. I picked the most effective lander and offer but received 1 conversion on the 3rd day and 0 conversions on the 4th.

I have no clue what is happening, my AM ignoring everything I say about this. Is this a shave from advertiser/network? or I am doing something wrong?

I didn't change targeting and bid during this days. Only eliminated less performing landers and offers.

For me it seems extremely pointless when you optimize campaign but it getting worth.

 

[vaRos]

Any thoughts?

Thanks for motivation words. I appreciate it!
By the way, I went green on 2 campaigns and trying to scale it right now. Spending 100% of my time on monitoring all things, that is why I stopped posting updates

I just noticed that there are new offers for a country and vertical I'm already working with. I want to try them but I'm not sure how to do it appropriately. Is it better to add them to a running optimized campaign or create a new campaign and start without optimization?

 

[tyoussef]

Is it better to add them to a running optimized campaign or create a new campaign and start without optimization?

if they are in the same vertical , keep the same optimization and add them .
i will do like this
i will create brand new campaign ,
i will go to the traffic source and garget the same options that old campaigns have .
i will keep the winning angel as well.
i will try to add new angels and see how it goes .
Good luck
