10,000 Clicks and no conversion ?

May I ask your website?

You will convert only if your traffic is targeted .

If your traffic is not targeted, make sure to select CPA offer suitable to your audiences demographic behavior .

And make sure you are promoting as per the offer restrictions. Would hate to see you converting like crazy and not getting any credit for it.

Hey this would be hard to tell without knowing at least your site and offer.

I don`t understand why ?

Well I dont mind giving the offers. I'm promoting Payday Loan and Rebill. But it works for any kind of offers as my traffic seems interesting. According to Google analytics most of my traffic is from the USA and Canada and a only a few from other countries. I was trying for many offers and I have seen that any kind of offers I promote I get in average 1,000 clicks per day minimum. I'm a programmer so I made some stuff on WP to get as much pages as possible on Google and drive a lot of traffic and it works.

Well, I'm a newbie to CPA so...But I'm trying to learn. I have learnt a lot of stuff on this forum on how I could test some offers with CPV but as I have some traffic I tried that and noticed that a lot of people are willing to complete the offers...

I think I will reach 5,000 hits just for today. For Adsense, I'm going to $100 daily but I wish I could do more with CPA

Either your clicks aren't targeted , not real human beings or your network does some serious shaving.

If someone wants to give it a try you can just give me your offers link and I will add it to my blog and we can check ? Maybe that could help me...

Great! It works NOW. I made a fix on my WP. Thx for helping!

Is this 1 offer your trying? are you tracking keywords, etc?

Not the first offer but they all work fine

Check from where you are getting the traffic? I mean I got many clicks from bidvertiser but no conversions and when tried to investigate I found that bidvertiser clicks has some problem and they are not really tracking the conversions from the traffic coming from Bidvertiser..

I'm getting traffic from Google.

Maybe you have the wrong offer!

the key is on your campaign like google adsense that show relevant ads on your post

Looks as if your clicks aren't targeted. If I have 10,000 clicks from people looking to buy sweaters and the land on a apple iPad offer chances are you won't see a high conversion.

I have a question. I have had over 300 hits on ppc to an affiliate website and when I go
to the real site I have NO hits. I am new at this so, I am asking, How do I prevent the
obvious ripping off of the hits. Only God knows how much money I have lost because of
this theft.

i agree with everyone else here it is definitely that your traffic is not targeted.Make sure your traffic is targeted toward what your selling.Hope these responses help you out.

Guys, I'm missing something in all your answers. You keep saying her traffic is not targeted. But we are talking about 10,000 CLICKS. 10,000 times banners have been clicked, not a redirected shot to the offer.

This indicates people made a conscious decision to click on the banner ad. That is a lot of clicks without having a conversion. Normally if you want to call it untargeted traffic, similar to doing Facebook, you would be seeing tons of impressions, with low clicks, and then low conversions. OR these are not people clicking at all.

Stephane, you say your traffic is coming from Google, does this mean you are running Google Analytics and can see statistics on your blogs?

Second question Stephane... You are saying 3 banners per POST. That is a ton of banners. How many posts are we talking about? How many blogs? How often are spiders going through your blogs?

I'm just picturing if one of my blogs had 3 banners per post. I have 10 posts showing on the front page of my blog sometimes. That would be 30 banners. Then each individual post page would be showing 3 banners, too.

Google Analytics can tell you how much of your traffic is BOT traffic which could be following those links simulating a click.

You need to determine if this traffic is human clicks, or non-human clicks first, before you start chasing other ideas.

stick on a rotator, and start rotating different offers. Actually use your brain.

That must be really frustrating, i get like 10-20 leads in 1000 clicks in most cases with ppv, media buys and ppc traffic.
I think your traffic is not targeted enough , like if you are promoting health offer at dating site, you are not going to get any leads,

Edit- in some cases bots might be clicking on your banner ads, i remember when i started i did media buys with adtoll site, and i was getting 100's of clicks but no leads, later i find out that the bots were clicking my ads.

after skimming through this, I still can't see how the traffic is being driven???

Are you .. buying bulk traffic?

Regardless of your sales platform, unless your buying one of those "xxxx visitors for $x" deals - if someone is clicking ads on your site, they have at the very least a remote interest in the offer. The odds of not getting a single conversion, are about 1/100 - not 1/10000

are those clicks or page views? Sometimes that can get confusing. Often times people are popping the landing page (CPV networks as an example), and when that happens, the clicks will look huge.

real clicks

all from google

i think stats are fake, ad company stealing

I suggest you change the product , with 10000 clicks you may get 1% conversion, it mean 100 buyer , a product with $20 profit can bring you $2000. May be the product is not good or your visitor do not like it. Make a polls or research to find down what product suit with your visitor. I had read a book : Stopping act as seller and acting as buyer, it say some thing like this. I think you should change the planning and try to test more products.

thank for this info

10K click and none convert?
better to replace that CPA with CPM based ad campaign at your website..

Make sure you are targetting for the right offers. MOST CPA networks have a lock where if their customer only wants USA traffic, IP's from anything else but USA will not see your offer.

Also, make sure the ads actually convert. This is a bit taboo but, you should make sure the offer converts as advertised.

Also, if an offer states "NO SEARCH" then traffic coming from search engines like Google, will get the same drop page as those who live outside the USA and the clicks you pay for are wasted. Always check with your AM.

Those CPA networks don't know it but a lot of their offers' links are not working. 10K clicks from Google should get you some sales.
