I tried to promote cpa offers but it didn't convert at adf.ly

Paleochora

As dating usually converts better than most things, I tested with a few thou from South American countries with a local flavor of Friend Finder set to local language and local content and set to just pay on free signups.

Waste of time...just one conversion from 4000 I think it was.

There was one offer which worked reasonably well in Europe buy that offer no longer exists.

I think that you need to find a good, solid offer for European countries and test with those.

Thanks Paleochora for updating us on your experience.

I have tried this traffic method in the past. I would suggest you don't direct traffic to the offer. What I have done is create a quiz or question page asking the prospect a question on a hot topic and then redirect to a freebie. This seems to work but don't waste your time on US traffic.

Paleochora

Cool. Do you have an example of one of your pages that you wouldn't mind sharing?

jordanberg2311

if you do a bit research, those adf.ly traffic are coming from scriptmafia
so those traffic are actually interested on nulled script..download ...etc

As far as i know, the traffic comes from full page timed ads displayed when someone clicks on a URL shortened by adfly. A proportion of the money you buy traffic with goes to the publisher - the person who shortens a link with adfly.

You can be a publisher too if you get a ton of clicks on links (if you own a forum for example) it may be worthwhile. For the average Joe it would take some time to get a good income stream from it.

All purchased traffic can convert if you have good offers.

Offers like Dating, Weight Loss, Jobs, will convert worldwide.

People from all countries usually want 1 of the 3.

Put them in your email list, and give them quality.

Can you get banned from Amazon for using Adf.ly?

nelio26

Sure I do. This is just an example of the landing page as I can't reveal the ones I have used here. win-free-ipod [dot] com is a good example of what the landing page should look like.

Hope you get the idea!

I can tell you from first hand experience that Adfly leads do NOT convert with anything.. I have ran over 50 tests from differetn offers, differetn targeting, etc.. they simply are a waste of space unless you just need clicks for an ad swaps or something.. thats about IT...

Good statistics on income and expenses. One question. Did you use the ad.fly earnings for to earn $18.20 from $12 CrhisD

I ever got one conversion with 1k USA Traffic. Anyhow, it is a good sign if we know how to do it well

You can pause and then resubmit a new link,thats what i do when changing campaigns etc

There is one thing i think you people are missing.

I am no expert on CPA, but i do use CPA networks.

So, my question to you people is, how come you are not looking at the offer, where you got a conversion, and not checking if you can get a higher payout at a different network for the same/similiar offer?

Because i have found, that if you check, you can get $10-$30 for one email submit on some networks.

So, if you get one conversion on 1000 which costs $5, then you would be $5 up, if it was $10 a email submit.

And yes there are networks out there that pay that much, for example: Market Health

I'm gonna chip in here.

I think you are doing it the wrong way. You are testing low-margin CPA offers ($1-5 bucks) with crappy traffic. It just wont work, and it it does you wont make any decent money with it. Why? Because the margins are WAY too low.

Try this: Stick to adwords, YSM and bing. Highest quality traffic but not cheap. Then, you focus on finance CPA offer but strictly lead generation such as car insurance, debt management etc where you get up to $90 bucks for a simple form submit.

All of a sudden, the margins open up and a $0.20 cent profit margin becomes $30-40 bucks - per lead! That's how I make my money and its much less of a headache.

Any questions just let me know

Yes but recently I see that adwords don't allow anymore promoting affiliate offers.

Hmm, interesting. I use adf.ly for getting pay, but never to get traffic. I should this out, especially with the cpa offer.

I also tried adf.ly but with no success, it's a lot of traffic but untargeted, except the option to choose the country nothing else, so you are buying a bunch of traffic that skips your ad. Maybe somebody has any advices regarding using adf.ly

I wish i could found this thread before spending money on Adfly. Yesterday night i finished my campaign.

I have ordered 1k visitors from UK and 1k visitors from Australia. I used a cpa offer

For this particular experiement I spent $8.40.

I set the campaign to run for one day with all the budget to see if i got at least 1 or 2 sign ups.

Today i`ve checked my cpa account. I`ve had 2148 clicks but 0 conversions.

So their traffic doesn`t convert at all for me. I didn`t expected to had dozens for sign-ups but at least 1 lead out of 2k people.

However i didn`t got even that lead .

My advice would be not to go after this. Instead keep your money and invest in a PPC campaign were you will likely have more chances to make money.

If they would a way to filter traffic by some keywords it would be great, but this kind of bulk traffic I don't know how you could convert it.

Since this thread has popped up again, I want to share my results:

Is the international traffic distributed over a wide set of countries, or do you get pretty generic traffic from everywhere at once?

AdEngage was a pretty cheap resource for getting international traffic. It did have the benefit of letting you pick the websites it showed up on. Maybe I'll start another thread on it, but Asian traffic always seemed impossible to capitalize on.

costi

You can select from where the traffic is coming by country, bot nothing else. Did you succeed with adengage converting any offers? They are now reopened.

andreblamads

Sounds very interesting!

Paleochora

Couple of questions.

How much are the clicks costing in those niches for keywords with any degree of quality traffic?

Are CPA offers still accepable as click through destinations for the big per click ad agencies (Google & Yahoo)?

shockwave

Hmmmmm...I must not be looking in the right places because most of the car insurance CPA offer I see are running $10 - $15 for form submit and debt management seems to be in the $20 -25 for for form and $30 - $35 for a call.

Where are you getting $90 for a form submit?

A word of warning about ad.fly - a year ago I had my amazon account shut down because using ad.fly is against amazon tos which I stupidly didn't check at that time of marketing naivety. They will find out as they do checks on traffic, especially to new accounts, and you will get your account closed forthwith.

I have never used ad.fly with cpa offers although I would check with your network to see if running these ads are within tos. I suspect most will say no. Just like most cpa networks don't allow craigslist. Again, be careful as you risk getting your account closed.

Ad.fly gets its traffic through paying people to click on thousands of ads, so they don't linger much on any one page unless it's something that really takes their fancy.

That said however, I don't use them anymore as there are many far better paid traffic methods. Put it this way, I'd rather spend $40 on highly targeted facebook ads than spend $40 with ad.fly.

I have test with some Affiliate with 1k package and no convertion. I think adf.ly is not good for affiliate

jordanberg2311

Your visitors are looking from something from point A to point B. Whereas you ads is going to be stuck there in between A and B for 25 seconds.
You do not know what they are looking after. So its pretty not targeted.

They might be browsing some downloads, spaghetti cabonara receipe or how to train a cat. Then your victoria secret gift card email submits stuck in between.
First of all they are eager to look for something and have to wait for 25seconds. How do you feel if you are driving a Lamborghini on a road with 20 traffic lights in between?

Cash37

DISAGREE!

Most of the people from Ad.fly traffic are freebie seekers. Like someone else said most of the links are from warez and nulled software forums.

We all have reported little to no conversions with this traffic. What magically makes you think it will work just because its a dating weight loss or job offer?

More to it than just that.

I tried out adf.ly and I got 5 conversions from 2,000 views. I'm testing on linkbucks.com since they are $3.40/CPM for USA (linkbucks is another site just like adf.ly)
