22,338 impressions, 30 clicks - NO CONVERSION :S

Hi,

Just started CPA using PPC. I have started with bidvertiser, and will soon try Facebook PPC as well. But I'm getting some horrible results from bidvertiser.

Stats from my campaign:

Impressions: 22,338
Clicks: 30
CTR: 0.13%
Total spent: $3.55

There's not even a SINGLE conversion from these results. It's a short form submit offer having a pretty good CR at PeerFly. Any ideas or what could be going wrong?

Do the conversion stats at PeerFly update in real time?

    Common man Bidvertiser is worst PPC platform. Dont use them. Try your luck with FB or POF

    What is the bounce rate for your bidvertiser visitors? Are they staying on the page or bouncing immediately?

    Thank you guys. Yes it does seem Bidvertiser is not up to the mark..

    A87, I don't know about that, as I'm not directing them to my landing page but to offer page.

    This platform is not good and don't have quality traffic. I have already mentioned this thing before and want to clear it once again, if any network is showing XXX CR then it doesn't mean that if any one start it and he will get the same results. You don't know how others are promoting it, if they are using paid traffic or free traffic or Email. You don't know what ad copies they are using, images and so on. So you have to start your own and it just help you to know that publishers are making money with it.

    FB and POF are good to start with, Checkout those platforms. Best of luck

    Just to let you guys know, finally got my first conversion after 42 clicks. ROI is not positive, but still, so far utilizing free credits so no losses

    Forget bidvertiser. It's crap. A friend of mine used it once, started getting conversions and then was band from the offer from his network because the traffic quality was so poor. Go with Facebook or PoF.

    definitely forget bidvertiser and your clicks ratio is too low to give any reasonable opinions on it.

    Just give facebook a try with a few ad vouchers and test the results. Keep in mind, you're paying for the traffic so better go with a reputable CPA network.

    I just got 7k impressions, 287 clicks with 7search, 0 conversions. The ad is the worlds most honest too. Product, and deal right next to each other. Very frustrating.

      As a rule of thumb...if you're getting clicks but not conversions, you may need to change your offer. Also with 7 search you need to identify and block the ID's that are not converting. You need to contact customer support to do that.

        I apologize, but I dont understand what you mean about block the IDs, im just running two test campaigns.

        This is very frustrating, Ive followed tons of webinars, advice on here, etc, and have spent about 100 dollars on different cj.com and maxbounty products with high epc, and have never gotten one conversion. Im fairly excited that so many people are clicking. Does CJ have real-time conversion reporting? How would you recommend I change the offer? I made it as clear as possible.

    If the offer is not converting geo-targeting may be the problem. Make sure you send the right traffic to the landing page... you can test the offer link with a proxy. The preview landing page of the CPA network doesn't have geo-targeting enabled so you will think that everything is ok.

    A few issues I see - bidvertiser is notorious for having low quality traffic, also when evaluating a campaign you need a much larger sample size (more clicks)

    More updates: 112 clicks, and still that single conversion. None after that.

    Agreed with everyone, Bidvertiser's traffic is not of quality. I did set appropriate geo-targeting, but I guess it doesn't work too well on Bidvertiser's network of sites.
