promoting IQ quiz

thats not true. I m still promoting IQ offer and its making a good amount of money.
Just remember try to promote other countries IQ offers. I gave up oo US, UK and CA IQ offer becoz many ppl already know that its a IQ offer BUT if you wanted to make money now from IQ offer i will suggest go with AU, NZ, Saudi Arabia and more countries like that. They are new to this and YES you convert good with them.

Hey

IQ Quizzes are "ok", but they dont produce good leads to the merchant UNLESS its a re-bill. You wont be able to make this work by usig proper PPC such as Adwords or YSM/BING, which leaves you only with second tier (read: crappier) traffic such as PPV, Facebook or other PPC platforms. Does it work? Yes, but don't bet the farm straight away.

Nick

It is getting saturated very quickly but there is still some money to be made. Just try to create an angle via PPV and challenge the user to take such quiz, you need to have really great eye catching graphics on your LP.

yup PPV will help

I'm not going to fully give away any campaigns but the trick is that you need to match the demographic and presell them to take the quiz

I never promote IQ quiz offers, but Mobile IQ quiz offers are super hot in some networks right now. So what do you think? Still lots of money to make, only if you could figure out how it works best for you.

Here's an idea for you...you can search for celebrity IQ scores in the Big G....here is one site i found quickly, Celebrities with high IQs

Take some celebrities, use sites like Alexa Rankings that can pin point the high volume sites related to Madonna or any other celebrity you want to focus on....begin to contact those sites (i would focus on any fan related pages, search for Madonna fan club and I'm sure you will have a load pages to sift through) about placing media on there and use creative ad-copy if and hopefully when you begin to buy media.

"Are you smarter than Madonna? She scored a 140. Whats your score?"

Something to that extent...I've seen similar ad's on sports related websites referencing professional athletes and their scores and i continue to see these all over so i would assume they're working and working well.

Best of luck to you.

I don't really understand how mobile IQ quizzes work. I am on a network that I see has mobile IQ offers. Does the affiliate link just resize to fit mobile devices for the lp? What networks serve teh traffic even? I was poking around adon to see if they let you select mobile browsers. I see pof has a way to only serve mobile browsers. Is there a good mobile guide for a newbie in it like me?

My apologies for the length of the post in advance. We're working on a WAP post for COPEAC U...Here is some information that may answer some of your questions, hopefully.

What Is It and Why Does it Matter?



It is not the usability or attractive physique of Smartphones that make them so desirable to consumers of digital technology. Although these attributes help, it is truly the innovative technology that allows for Smartphones to be just as accessible to information as a PC, only simpler. The heart of a Smartphone’s internet capabilities stems from the development of the Wireless Application Protocol. Wireless Application Protocol, otherwise known as WAP, is an open international standard that allows for the access of internet connection instantly to your mobile device. It creates connection a specific way to facilitate fast delivery of information and services to mobile users. Virtually, it is a uniform technology for “cross-platform, distributed computing”. Due to the WAP, the internet industry has shifted their entire focus from our PCs to our pant pockets.


These technologically divine devices aren’t to be marveled for their millions of entertaining applications, because in reality these applications are quite inconsequential without the Wireless Application Protocol. The WAP is important because it not only transforms a website’s programming; it also transforms its appearance. Taking the site you would normally access on your PC; it shrinks, simplifies, and sends it to your Smartphone. The WAP has literally created a track for the Internet from servers to our fingertips.

How It Works


WAP starts working when a mobile user opens a browser on their Smartphone. The mobile device searches for service by sending a radio signal to their service provider. Once the connection is made between the device and the provider and the website is chosen, a request is sent to a gateway server using WAP. The gateway server retrieves the information from the website in a text only or low graphics form of the website and encodes the data from HTTP to WML (Wireless Markup Language). The WML-encoded data is sent and appears on the mobile device and is viewed by the desired user. So essentially, WAP provides the optimization for “low-bandwidth, low-memory, and low-display capacity” settings on a Smartphone.


Isn’t it hard to think that while you are pressing one single button, your mobile device is doing all that work? Let’s relate this process to a trip to the dry cleaners. You press your internet browser button just as you would tell the dry cleaner your name. Immediately, he goes to the back of the store and tells the worker to search for your clothes as your radio signals search for service by contacting your service provider. As he passes your clothes and retrieves them from the rack, your WAP-enabled device converts the data from HTTP to WML, a compatible form, specifically for your Smartphone. Just as the dry cleaner hands you you’re perfectly pressed and starched clothes, your phone is receiving a website tailored specifically for your phone in the same manner as your clothes are for your desired wear.

WAP and Mobile Marketing

One of the biggest advantages of Wireless Application Protocol is the connection to a new sector in the marketing industry: mobile marketing. In 2010, there were 5.3 billion mobile device users worldwide, which is 77% of the world population, and that number is only expected to grow in years to come (mobiThinking). According to FaceBook official statistics, more than 200 million active users now access FaceBook on their mobile device. Marketers are expected to spend $11.35 billion on mobile ads in 2011. It is a no brainer for those looking for new outlets to advertise; they can easily advertise through mobile devices. Businesses can thrive on the capability of “on-location” technologies, using this feature to target certain consumers who are in the area of their respected business. Response of mobile ads is immediate for consumers who are on-the-go and carry their phones at all times. There is a higher reach when advertising on mobile devices since there twice as many cell phones than PCs worldwide. The effects of marketer’s ads will expectantly create buzz because the offers will reach consumers as they shop and/or make purchase decisions.
There are several types of WAP campaign types that are used to market to consumers on mobile devices.
v Branding: a non clickable ad that serves only to reinforce the advertiser’s brand
v Offer Based Ad: a clickable ad that typically has some type of offer
v Click to Call: an ad where a call to an advertiser (Hyatt, Delta) can be made directly
v within the context of the jump page and not through dialing the actual number
v Locator: an ad where a brick and mortar location for an advertiser (Radio Shack, Ford)
v can be identified based on proximity of the consumer or their preferred location
v Coupon: an ad where a text coupon code can be delivered
v Data Collection:An ad where an e-mail address or a phone number is collected by the advertiser in order for additional requested information (coupon, event details etc.) to be delivered to the recipient.


WAP Campaign Operations

v Site Tagging: the process of a wireless web publisher inserting ad tags provided by a mobile campaign management platform into their content so that ads can be delivered.
v Dynamic Ad Delivery: the process of a mobile ad being delivered through a campaign management platform to a publisher’s mobile phone content based upon predetermined targeting criteria.
v Placement: the area where an ad is located within a publisher’s mobile content
v Targeting: various criteria to make the delivery of a mobile ad more precise (geographical, day parting, household income etc.)
v Tracking: the ability to assess (typically in real time) the performance of a mobile campaign
v Optimization: the process of modifying a campaign so it will perform more favorably for the advertiser
v Reporting: the results of a campaign broken down my various criteria (impressions delivered, click-through rate etc.)

I guess my real question is, how do I setup a CPA campaign exclusively to mobile? I want to use some of the mobile iq campaigns I have access to.

I want to advertise as advertiser. I have a few available on teh CPA networks I am a part of. I have experience in PPC, facebook, and some ppv. I am just not clear how to get these shown on mobile only devices. I know that the iq quizzes are billed thru text message so someone needs to be on smart phone. Complete quiz and submit to get a charge on their phone.

This IQ thing is probably saturated in the US, but you can get good numbers with other countries. Also, going international will probably allow you to get not only a better (it doesn't mean great) conversion rate, but also pay less per click. Just go with PPV and some second tier PPC platforms.

So ppv like TV, adon, lead impact serve popunders for mobile? Not sure how that works.
