I'm looking to test out of CPA offers on a traffic source I just found out about. The traffic is non targeted except for the clicks are from the US. I plan on testing 3 different CPA offers with 500k impressions to start. If I see profitability I'm going to scale to more traffic. What other factors should I consider before taking the plunge in higher traffic numbers?

    I am going to give you the short answer, you said "The traffic is non targeted except for the clicks are from the US" I say don't waste your time or money. unless of course you are selling American flags... oh wait... its CPA never mind!

    Hope that Helps!

      What targeting would make the traffic worthwhile to use?

    Pass behavior is a massive factor for targeting.

    If they are have responded to opportunities in the past ie they are opportunity seekers, then they are more likely to respond to "opportunity" offers now.

    If they have bought say self help information in the past they are more likely to respond to
    self help info now or in the future...
    You get my drift?
    Past behavior is a massive indicator.

      How can you target from past behavior?

    If it's not targeted you will likely need to test several more offers to try to find a winner

      How many offers total should I test? Right now I can only afford the 500k impressions to start. I don't want to lose any more money than that. I want to say it's possible to profit from this but maybe I'm just dreaming. Would a clickbank offer that reaches a wide demographic work better potentially?
