CPA offers on cell phones? AdMob in particular?

cpafanatic · 09-11-2009, 01:54 PM

Hello to all!

I have been lurking on WF for sometime now, and once again ran into an instance where I need the forum's expertise. Please help!

I have been reading a lot of threads recently that express promoting CPA offers on the 3 big PPC engines is a black hat method, and it's only a matter of time until you get slapped. Does anybody have any experience advertising their CPA offers on cell phones using a program like AdMob?

From what I understand, clicks are usually extremely cheap even in high competition markets (.04-.06 cents) there are almost unlimited impressions available, and simple name and email opt-ins convert crazy well, but again... This could all be hype stirred up by gurus and AdMob themselves.

Does anyone know from personal experience what kind of results one can expect from advertising CPA offers on cell phones? i.e. average conversion rates, cpc, what kind of offers work best, etc etc

I really appreciate any advice anyone can give, I have been at this IM thing for a couple years now and have had little to no success. I am hoping this resource will push me to the next level!

Thanks again!

Alex

Save yourself a lot of money & heartache and do not advertise with cell phones, nothing seems to convert, period...

This week I started my first campaign on Admob. I loaded $100 into my account, and setup two iphone ads. One for my free hosting business, and another ad to market a cpa product. My CPA ad was denied, but my free hosting ad went through and in about 15 minutes my $100 was gone! I did receive 500 views to my hosting site, but that's it. For admob, always use the minimum bid. You could go through thousands of dollars in a day, it's very fast once your ad is approved.

For what I've been reading, you should run the other way. check this:

Cell Phone Cash - What is This?

Yes I also learned from the "school of hard knocks" and my personal "cash sucking adventures of a CPA newbie" that building on a slower platform will payoff not only in longterm cash coming in, but saves you all the money you don't burn on the lure of "fast rewards".

Unless you have money to burn (for split testing and tweaking) I'd stay away from admob. They can be VERY profitable, but be prepared to lose a lot of money before you have a profitable campaign.

There is definitely a potential using the cell phone cash system but you really need to do your research and promote something that is free to enter.Certain email and zip submit offers will work well for cell phone.You can also build a list through cell phone and then market to them later.

Promoting CPA offers on the big 3 is BlueFart?

I don't think so.

Hi all

I am sure you know there is another very detailed thread on this subject, I have made 39 posts there with details of my experiences.

Cell Phone Cash - What is This?

Mack's Cell Phone Cash and support is one of the worst I have experienced, no one in the thread has had any support tickets answered. No one has been able to make what he teaches make money.

There is no need to buy his course, just join Admod for free, read all their free information and use your head it is all pretty logical - also Google mobile marketing and visit and learn from the many sites and networks.

I advise people to only use iphone optimized landing pages, a quick video with free opt-in, triggering more info via email to up sell later on as they visit your main sales website.
