ryback888 · 11-21-2011, 11:37 AM

i am new to ppc and have started using 7search for the past week promoting cpa offers, i have basically broke even over the week,maybe a few dollars down. can anyone tell me what ad network i can try next that will provide better traffic and also let me use direct linking to the offer like 7search does, any help is welcome thanks

Your best shot would be Bing Adcenter, or PPV LeadImpact.

ryback888 · 11-21-2011, 12:48 PM

thanks, so bing adcenter would let me use direct linking? and do they do a promotion offer when you first sign upto them?

Bing adcenter does not allow direct linking.You have to use a landing page.As far as i know they do not provide any promotion offer when you first sign up.

They do offer offer credit if you sign up with them for the first time. You has to google it but it shouldn't be hard to find. I think it's like 75$

Hey! I'm in the exact same boat

are you direct linking? I am, it seemed so much easier, but now I'm not sure - we could use Yahoo too if we made landing pages, but the Bing seems like a good idea.

Adcenter gives a $25 bonus last time I checked. Most hosts like hostgator will provide a coupon or promo about it inside your cpanel. If not check with your host or search online - or if it comes down to it, simply contact adcenter and tell them you're a new advertiser and would like a promo coupon to assist you in trying out their services.

7Search is actually pretty solid, in my opinion. Google banned me a while back and offered no explanation, even over the phone. I have no idea what happened, and they couldn't tell me either. I would say stick with 7Search for a while.

I'm now just focusing on hitting that sliver sized sweet spot so I don't blow too much money on non-targeted clicks. Good luck in the future!

ryback888 · 11-21-2011, 02:04 PM

how much are u making on 7search? if u dont mind me asking

iDoubLe001 · 11-21-2011, 03:31 PM

I'm not making much at all, and I just got started with them. But the hoplink stats on my CB seem consistent with the stats on 7search. I also know I need to refine my campaigns to get more targeted traffic to my CPA offers; but I'm just saying maybe you shouldn't pack it up and move on so quick.

I've only dealt with Google Adwords and 7Search.

YOU CALLED 18662GOOGLE and they could not help you get unbanned? Do any of your sites offer things "for free" or anything that might violate their ToS? Do you have a privacy policy put on your site. I have the same situation so Im tryna help a fellow warrior out. Hope you can maybe look over their TOS and find whats up or you can call that # if you called a different # originally. Goodluck!

If you're running campaigns on 7 Search and breaking even, there's a good chance you could make it profitable with some optimization.

Have you checked which keywords are converting for you? Have you looked into which websites your good quality traffic is coming from vs. the bad. You can see all that info on 7search as well as Prosper202. On 7search, you can even go as far as choosing what referral sites you want to display ads on for certain keywords. The optimization possibilities on 7search can get pretty advanced, best to talk with you account rep.

As for Adcenter, I got $25 in credits from my hostgator account. I've been able to get direct links approved, but haven't used them a bunch just because they can get pretty competitive. The reps at Adcenter are super helpful, BTW.

Woah, how do you do that?

Sorry, I thought you could do within 7search, but you have to use an external tracker. I use Prosper202, which is free, you just have to set it up on your own hosting. You can see all the sites where your ad is being displayed and your getting clicks from, and how well they're converting.

To block certain domains, you have to request that feature from your account rep at 7search. Basically, the result is increased traffic quality. Also, be sure to request that feature to be campaign specific, otherwise it will block it across all your campaigns.

I'm actually going to try this out with some other ad networks I use.

Ah, i see. Yeah, i downloaded prosper and i have my own hosting and domain. Just haven't installed it yet..

Do i need a separate domain for prosper or can I just use my current site ? I think i remember reading somewhere that prosper requires it's own domain name or something..

You'll need your own domain, but any $.99 .info from Godaddy will do the trick.

Here's another thread that was just started with some great info on blocking bad traffic.
