CPA Newbie Questions?

by tryingtolearn
7 replies
Just started with cpa marketing, and so far, promoting email/zip submit offers from peerfly using 7search and linking directly to offers landing page. I have invested around $93.06, and made only $31.6. So, undoubtedly, I am in huge loss as of now.

While doing cpa marketing few questions came to my mind, like

1. Is it a realistic goal to make $20/day profit using 7search and peerfly with only email/zip submit offers? If not, what other type of cpa offers work well with 7search traffic like dating, biz opps, download, that can help me achieve my goal?

2. I tried a download/install cpa offer with high payout from peerfly by direct linking it. And, failed miserably. No conversions even after spending $13.42. So, for the time being until I get some other profitable campaigns, I stopped it. I also realized that probably with the use of landing page, I may get few conversions. This raise question in my mind that do I need a domain name for each cpa offer? Is there any impact on conversions, if landing page is a subdomain, and domain name is not related to the niche? I am thinking of using service like wordpress.com for creating landing page, to reduce costs.

3. Finally, will using a landing page for even email submit offers increase my conversion rate?

Here are my peerfly and 7search stats so far

    First that is WAY better than I did off the bat. So don't be discouraged. Nice work!

    1. Is it a realistic goal to make $20/day profit using 7search and peerfly with only email/zip submit offers? If not, what other type of cpa offers work well with 7search traffic like dating, biz opps, download, that can help me achieve my goal?
    It is realistic. What has been working the best for you now? Sounds like some offer is converting for you.

    I would build off that, how many LPs have you tested so far?

    Are you blocking bad referrers on 7Search?

    Your domain won't effect conversions, and using sub-domains is fine.

    Wordpress isn't the best tool for build landing pages. It has a pretty heavy backend for just simple landing pages.

    You should learn how to make them yourself, it is pretty easy.

    3. Finally, will using a landing page for even email submit offers increase my conversion rate?
    A big YES! I rarely run any campaign without a landing pages.

    With a landing page you can attack angles, pre-pitch the offer, and really create some scarcity.

    Give it a shot.

    Honestly for just starting out, that isn't that bad.
    What kind of strategy are you using? Are you filtering out keywords which aren't generating leads? Are you tracking everything?

      Thanks ChrisBa for motivation!
      Yeah, I am filtering out keywords. For some campaigns, I have around 100 negative keywords. The only feature of 7search that I am yet to utilize is day time parting.

      At the moment, I am only tracking with peerfly. Don't have Prosper202 tracking setup yet.

    I have updated my main post with the stats, so, check out those, and if possible, give some advice.

    I haven't tried any landing page, but, I am definitely thinking of trying them.

    And, yeah, I am blocking bad referrers on 7search, 6 blocked so far. However, I want to know, if there is any list of bad referrers available like top 100 bad referrers that are proven to not convert, which anyone can add in their 7search account regardless of the type of campaign they are running. This way, less money will be wasted on testing 7search traffic. Just a thought!

    Actually, since, I am a developer, so, building landing page is not a problem.

    Yep, I am going to try them. But, before, I try them, I want to know what other type of offers work well with 7search traffic. Is 7search traffic, good for dating offers?

    That's not bad at all. Some people spend way more than that before they come up with a winning campaign. You'll just need to tweak and change some things around like your landing page and such.

    Read more about on how to build high converting landing pages.

    Good luck!

    There has been ones posted, but they are always proven wrong, in the sense people will point out referrers in the list that have converted for them.

    But, before, I try them, I want to know what other type of offers work well with 7search traffic. Is 7search traffic, good for dating offers?
    Generally, submits and CPL offers, you could test dating. I've never ran dating on 7Search.
