[Case Study: Mobpartner + Buzzcity] New to CPA - Taking actions to earn $$$

16 replies
I am new to this kind of business. Instead of reading all the information about CPA and mobile marketing available in the net, I have taken action. Doing it will be the best learning tool and to understand the business.

I have signed up for MobPartner last night and got my account activated too. I selected BuzzCity for my ad network. It got accepted this morning.

Now for my campaigns, I choose Iphone for OS, Category is games and my target country is US.

I am waiting for it to be validated.

I just have some questions.
I have read that BuzzCity is not a good ad network if your target market is the USA. What ad network should i use for this type of campaign?

I also would like to try other categories. any suggestions too?

    Hi Jeffreygt!

    I'm glad to see people take an action like you!

    What I'd suggest for mobile traffic sources are AirPush, JumpTap, and AdFonic. These are three good traffic sources you should try. Buzzcity is good if your targets are in Asia.

      Hi asakura,

      Thanks for the wonderful feedback. Is there any chance for me to change my ad network in mobpartner or do i need to create another campaign?

        Finally my campaign got accepted. On to the next stage which is promote the campaign i selected.

        I am currently confused as I already selected the ad network i prefer but do I still need to sign up first with an ad network?

          Here is an update of what is happening with my campaign.

          I started this mobile marketing + ppc and signed up for mobpartner last 14-Aug. created a campaign and got approved the following day.

          signed up for buzzcity account on the 15-Aug. created my ppc campaign. waited for 3 days and my campaign got stuck in pending approval. Well it was my fault because i did not add credits on my account. I thought of adding credits once my campaign get approved but it was a mistake. so I add credits and I got approved of my PPC campaign 2 days ago. I also setup a tracker on mobaff.

          below is my stats with my campaign
          BuzzCity


          In my Buzzcity report I have received 10 clicks on my targeted country which is Malaysia. My targeted channels are Mobile Content, News and Information, Mobile Portals, Entertainment and Lifestyle.
          It looks like I get most of the click from Mobile Content. Maybe I should just target a specific channel and also increase my CPC. CPC will increase the exposure of my campaign (please correct me if I am wrong on this one).

          MobAff Stats






          In my mobaff stats I found it odd as I am only targeting Malaysia and iOS but here you will notice I have from Singapore and the phone is a Nokia.
          Someone please enlighten me on this one.

          So far i don't have any income but at least I am learning this stuff.

          Today I submitted another campaign in Buzzcity wherein I am targeting Australia to find out which country is best to target.

            I would suggesting checking their campaign planner. Get to know, and love this thing. Click Here

            You will find the volume in AU for Buzzcity isnt great, but it is very competitive - at a suggested CPC of 14 cents. If you're just starting out, Id likely try a less competitive country. Ar, It, Mx etc have great offers and have lots of potential (on more networks).

              Thanks. One question. Are those countries that you suggest, Argentina, Italy and Mexico?

                Buzzcity has the most potential in Asia. Other countries like the USA etc have low quality traffic from there.

    I would try Asia as well, that is what everyone seems to be recommending to target.
