Am I Being Robbed By CPA Network Or is This Normal?

2 replies
I really need some feedback. I've been promoting CPA dating offers on POF and about 2 weeks ago, I noticed that 1 of my offers suddenly stopped converting.

I mean I went from getting about 1 conversion for every 6-7 clicks to none in about 150 clicks. I let it run for a while just to see if it would pick back up. I was just about to give up this weekend and pause the campaign, then guess what, all of a sudden, conversions started rolling back in again Friday.

Over the past 2 weeks, I have changed nothing! Didnt change the landing page, didnt change my bid, didnt re-route to the same offer on a different network. Nothing. I just let it run.

I just find it extremely strange that all of a sudden it started converting again at a reasonable rate. I understand that there are differences in how offers convert during the week vs weekends but have a look at the screenshot below and tell me what you think.

I could only go back 1 week with my tracking software but last week (including the weekend) was very similar to this week. No conversions.

Peerfly is my CPA network of choice and I really like them and have had no problems with them in the past so I'm really just hoping that maybe this is normal and nothing to be surprised about. I've been trying to convince myself that if there is a problem, maybe it's an issue with the advertiser and not Peerfly.

Or maybe this pause in conversions just happens from time to time and I'm over-thinking it.

Let me know what you think...

    Sounds like the offer is fine. I would suggest testing another offer or tweaking the campaign.

    Just because you got conversion in the first 7 clicks, doesn't mean you will get one every 7. You are judging off too little conversions.

    With that being said, I do know the feeling of seeing an early conversion and getting all excited, only for it amount to nothing.

    How much data do you have (what's your sample size)?
    This is very important in determining if you had a normal or abnormal week/day

    Also perhaps try swapping in other offers to see if it helps.
